The anatomic and physiologic changes of the anopthalmic orbit affect cosmetic appearance of the patient and function of the socket and the prosthesis. During the past three years, the authors studied 13 cases of dermis-fat graft and 27 cases of posterior Tenon's capsule suturing with a plastic implant, and compared the post'operative effects of the two procedures. Dermis-fat graft produced good fornix formation with no remarkable fat atrophy after both primary and secondary proceddure. Posterior Tenon's capsule suture technique showes good effect to keep implant from migration or extrusion. Size of the plastic implant and fixation of the extraocular muscles were important factors also for good cosmesis and implant motility. There revealed no significant difference between the two procedures in EOM motility, enophthalmos, deep superior sulcus deformity, implant migration or prolapse etc.

The authors have reviewed 71 cases (70 patients) of the ankle fractures that were treated through the admission in Orthopedic Department, Paik Foundation Hospital, from June 1972 to April 1978. The average duration of the follow-up waa 15 months. The summary of the results were as follows; 1. Of the 71 cases, male was 54 cases and female 17 cases. The average age of the patients was 32. 2. The main cause of the injuries was traffic accident, and the other causes were sliding down and falling from a height, industrial accident, and sports injury in order. 3. By the classification of Lauge-Hansen, the pronation-external rotation and,supination-adduction types were commoner than the other types. 4. Open reduction was performed in 48 cases, and closed reduction in 23 cases. 5. The average duration of the cast immobilization after the closed reduction was 8 weeks, and that of the open reduction was 6 weeks. 6. The result of the treatment was better in those cases of the open reduction than that of, the closed reduction. 7. The good clinical results could be achieved by obtaining the anatomical position of the talus in the mortise and the reduction was achieved more satisfactorily when the key role of the lateral malleolus in complete reduction was well understood.

This study was carried out to compare the clinical effect of the endonasal lacrimal surgery done in 75 eyes of the 62 patients with that of the conventional lacrimal surgery done by the same operator in 72 eyes of the 57 patients. The diameter of intranasal ostium was 1.9 +/- 0.4 mm in endonasal approach and 2.6 +/- 1.4 mm in skin approach (p<0.05), respectively. Postoperative hospitalization were 1.7 - 2.5 days shorter in endonasal lacrimal surgery than those of conventional lacrimal surgery (p<0.001). Satisfactory tear drainge was observed in 29 eyes (90.6%) after endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy and in 28 eyes (90.3%) after conventional dacryocystorhinostomy, and 41 eyes (95.3%) revealed astisfactory tear drainge after endonasal conjunctivodacrystorhinostomy and 39 eyes (95.1%) showed good results after conventional conjunctivodacr yocystorhinostomy. In summary, endonasal lacrimal surgery showed no cutaneous scar, less edema and hematoma with short recovery time and similar success rate to the conventional lacrimal surgery. Thus, endonasal lacrimal surgery might be better than conventional lacrimal surgery.

Five Lazy-T procedures for medial ectropion of the lower lid were performed in 4 patients(3 males, 1 female). Of these 5 procedures, one was for involutional ectropion and 4 were for cicatrical ectropion which occurred after lid surgery or were due to facial xerosis. Ages ranged from 55 to 68 years. After the follow-up period of 8 to 29 months, all cases showed marked improvement of tearing, ocular injection, and discharge without any recurrence or overcorrection.

Posterior scleritis must be one of the most underdiagnosed treatable conditions in ophthalmology, partly because its manifestations are so protean and partly because the diagnosis is rarely considered. Although ultrasonography and computer tomogram are ancilliary tests, a careful examination of the posterior segment of the eye including the area of the ora serrata, macula and disc is essential to discover the presence of a posterior scleritis. We experienced prolonged retinal pigment epithelial detachments which had appered at early phase of posterior scleritis.

It is hard to advice for fitting contact lens in the case of monocular lens extraction in rural area because of exposure to dust laden air and elderly people in most cases. Questionares for comfortability, Side effects and the method of visual correction were obtained in 200 cases of cataract operation in rural area. Most of the advanced age group replyed that the unsatisfactory and difficulty for fitting contact lens, therefore it is desirable method to obtain good adaptation and binocualr vision with P-A (Phakic and Aphakic) spectacles by intensive training.
