1.Clinical Study on Monteggia Lesion in Adult
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1977;12(4):769-775
10 Monteggia Lesions in adult were treated for about 5 years from 1973 to 1977 at Seoul Red Cross Hospital. Closed reduction of the dislocated Radial Head was adequate in 8 patients of these cases. 6 cases belong to the type I of Bados classification of Monteggia Lesion. In 6 patients who had an open fracture of the Ulna associated with severe soft tissue damage or a fracture of Olecranon, range of motion of the affected elbow were listed as poor. Of the 4 patients on whom open reduction and internal fixation with compression plate only were done, only 3 patients gained satisfactory result. On follow-up(average 11.8 months), pain free full range of motion was observed in only 2 patients. The relationship between the type and the result of treatment was not observed in these cases.

Hantavirus is known to a causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and it can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease in Korea. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is usually associated with pulmonary hemorrhage and fever. The common hematologic features of this syndrome are elevated hematocrit level, leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. We report a case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome with pancytopenia. This patient with severe neutropenia with pulmonary infiltration mimicked aplastic anemia with invasive aspergillosis.
