The bipolar hemiarthroplasty is one of the treatment methods of the avascular necrosis of the femoral head and the fracture of the femur neck. The mechanism of bipolar hemiarthroplasty is intended to distribute the forces at the site of the inner and outer articulation, and theoritically diminish acetabular wear and produce a painless arthroplasty. The authors analyzed motion of two components in 23 cases of the bipolar hemiarthroplasty, performed at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Korea University Hospital, between January, 1985 and January, 1993 with average 47 months follow up(range 24 to 84 months). The results obtained were as follows: 1. In the motion of the two components, inner bearing motion was average 11.5 degrees(from 1 to 29 degrees) and outer bearing motion was average 21.4 degrees(from 3 to 45 degrees). 2. The inner bearing motion was highest at 12 months with average 16 degrees and outer bearing motion was lowest during the same period with average 15 degrees. During the follow up the inner bearing motion was decreased whereas outer bearing motion was increased. 3. The inner or outer bearing motion of bipolar component was no correlation with age, sex and clinical result.

Although there are various methods of operative treatment for hony mallet finger, the operative technique is not so easy and complications such as joint stiffness, sott tissue prohlems, infection, change of nail shape and arthrosis are common. The authors performed operations for 26 cases of hony mallet fingers, fixing the hony frapment by Kirschner wire, pull-out wire suture and miniscrew respectively, from Jan. l988 to Jun. l996. The results were as follows. l. According to Niechajev's classification. there were 3 cases of type B, 7 cases of type C, l4 cases of type D, and 2 cases of type E. And 11 cases were accompanied hy crushing injury. 2. Involved fingers were third finger in 11cases, fit'th finger in 7 cases, fourth finger in 5 cases, second finger in 2 cases. and thumb in I case. 3. The hony mallet finger was caused hy occupational injury in l6 cases, direct blow in 7 cases and sports injury in 3 cases. 4. The fractured fragment was fixed hy Kirschner wire in 9 cases, by pull-out suture in 9 cases and by miniscrew in 8 cases. 5. The results were evaluated hy Kanies scale. Sixteen cases had satisfactory results. Seven cases (87.5%) were satisfactory in miniscrew fixations. 5 cascs (55.6%) in pull-out wire suture methocls and 2 cases (22.2%) in Kirschner wire tixations. 6. The complications were joint incongruity in 4 cases, dorsal prominece in 6 cases, painful limitation of motion in 2 cases which were treated by arthrodesis, pin site infection in 2 cases and hreakage of wire suture in 1 case. 7. The miniscrew fixation offered relatively firm fixation, low complication rate, and good results. so it can be considered as one of the good methods of treatment for hony mallet finger.

Congenital origin intestinal obstruction are important disease due to required emergency operation. So accurate and rapid diagnosis needed for decreased mortality and morbidity. Radiologic must defect to accurate obstruction site and also associated other congenital anomalies. And also embryological basis are very important role to the diagnosis of these diseases. We were analyzed radiologically and clinically 25 cases with congenital origin intestinal obstruction with review of literature. 1. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis 6 cases, midgut malrotation 4 cases, congenital megacolon 8 cases, imperforated anus 5 cases, ileal atresia 1 case and duodenal atresia 1 case. 2. Male and female radio was 16:9. Especially on hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, 5 cases were male infants. 3. All cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis represented string sign and also pyloric beak sign, shoulder sign on UGI. 4. 1 case duodenal atresia showed double bubble sign on simple abdomen x-ray and ileal atresia showed mechanical small bowel obstruction sign with microcolon. 5. On midgut malrotaton, cecum was located in right upper abdomen on 4 cases. And 2 cases were associated with Ladd's band, 1 case with volvulus and 1 case with mesenteric defect. 6. Involved site of all congenital megacolon were localized to rectosigmoid colon. 7. On 5 cases imperforated anus, 3 cases were low type and 2 case high type. Rectoperitoneal and rectourogenital fistula were demonstrated on 4 cases.

The abdominal tumors in children are different from those of adult. These tumors are the third most common one, preceded by leukemia and brain tumors, in children under 15 years. X-ray examination is the most important method among diagnostic approaches. The role of diagnostic imaging is to identify the precise anatomic location and extent of pathologic process with the minimal number of imaging procedures. 23 cases of abdominal tumors were reviewed in respect of age incidence, site of origin, radiologic findings. The results are briefly summarized as follows: 1. Neuroblastoma was the most common (6 cases) and wilm's tumor (5 cases), choledocal cyst (4 cases), ovarian mass (3 cases), hydronephrosis (2 cases), were descending order in frequency. 2. The most common site was retroperitoneum (60%) Kidney was the single most common site of origin. 3. Radiologic findings. The most common findings of plain radiography was ill defined soft tissue mass and this method was helpful in the presence of calcification especially in neuroblastoma. Ultrasonographic pattern was anechoic (cystic), echoic or mixed pattern, but this method provide less precise anatomical details, nevertheless Ultrasonography was particularly useful imaging modality for the pediatric abdominal tumors. IVP findings were renal displacement, caliceopelvic system distortion or nonvisualization of kidney, these information was helpful in determining the location of tumors. CT scan showed homogenous or inhomogeneous, cystic or solid, mass with their anatomic location. 4. Ultrasonography was the most widely used specific diagnostic method, but had limited value in detecting the anatomic location of tumors. CT scan was superior to ultrasound for determining the extent of tumors.
