The authors analyzed clinical and radiographic results of the 87 cases which had done THRA with porous coated femoral stem followed up more than 2 years to study the difference of clinical and radiologic findings between the absence (group 1 ; 53 cases) and presence(group 2 ; 34 cases) of the porous coating in superolateral portion of the femoral stem. The following results were obtained : 1. Harris hip scores were improved 34.4 points from 56.5 points preoperatively to 90.9 points postoperatively in group Ι, and 32.7 points from 61 points preoperatively to 93.7 points postoperatively in group 2. The clinical results of the group 1 were Excellent in 45 cases, Good in 5 cases and Fair in 3 cases, and clinical result of the group 2 were Excellent in 33 cases and Good in 1 case. 2. The changes of femoral stem angle were below 2 degrees in 7 cases, above 2 degrees in 2 cases in group 1, and below 2 degrees in 5 cases, but not found more than 2 degrees of change of the femoral stem angle in group 2. 3. The osteolysis around femoral stem were 15 cases(28%) in Group 1, and 5 cases(15%) in Group 2. Diffuse osteolysis were 3 cases in Group 1, but was not observed in Group 2. 4. The vertical subsidence more than 2 mm was 3 cases in group 1, but was not observed in group 2. 5. The stable femoral stem were 51 cases in group 1, and 34 cases in group 2. The unstable femoral stem were 3 cases in group 1, but was not observed in group 2. Above results suggest that the porous coating in the superolateral portion of the femoral stem showed better results in radiologic and clinical findings in short term follow up.

The authors presented a case of gastroschisis with a pedunculated gallbladder embedded in hepatic tissue. The patient was born after fullterm gestation. Due to extensive abdominal wall defect, she succumbed 3 days after birth. There was a pedunculated mass measuring 2.5x1.5x1.5 cm between the liver and distended stomach without any attachment to the liver. The pedicle of the mass was connected to the common bile duct. Cut surface revealed that the mass was an accessory hepatic lobe encircling the gallbladder. The histologic feature of both accessory liver and gallbladder was markedly altered probably due to vascular obstruction. We could find only a single similar case in literlature. That case was associated with Beckwith syndrome and ours was associated with large atrial spetal defect, large patent ductus arteriosus, accessory spleen as well as gastroschisis. The common feature of abdominal wall defect might be a predisposing factor.
