A case of very rare synovial hemangioma of the right knee joint is presented. The duration of disease is for fifteen years. A hemangioma about 6X7X1cm in dimension has been found to be originated from lateral capsular synovium just above lateral meniscus and just anterior to lateral collateral ligament. The joint space was occupied with pedunculated mass. The complete excision could be done. The end result is good.

The disease Blount called tibia vara in 1937, is characterized by a failure of growth localized to the postero-medial part of the upper tibial metaphysis and epiphysis. The growth of the epiphyseal cartilage as well as that of the metaphysis and the epiphysis is disturbed, with consequent angulation of the tibia at the upper epiphysis which may, in untreated cases, produce bizarre deformities. Blount described two different types of tibia vara, an infantile type and an adolescent type. Presenting case is an adolescent type. He is 11 year old boy. The deformed tibia is corrected by osteotomy.

One of the most difficult problems confronting the orthopedic surgeon today is what to do when faced with a large defect in a peripheral nerve. Recent advances in engineering and neurophysiology have improved our technical ability to understand the consequences of severing a nerve. We have treated a large traumatic ulnar nerve defect with microsurgical nerve graft technique. In a follow-up study of twehre monthes post surgery, the results were satisfactory.

Three cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia were treated at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul national University Hospital during last four years. In all cases, many Cafe-au-lait spots and subcutaneous nodules were shown on the whoIe body skin, which are suggestive of neuro-fibromatosis. Case 1, A thirteen years old boy was treated with plate and screw fixation with massive iliac cancellous and cortical graft. In a follow-up of three and one half years, solid bony union has been obtained with successful result. Case 2, A 5 years old boy was treated with Boyds dual cortical graft with plate and screw fixation. In a follow-up to eight months, bony union were satisfactory. Case 3, A six months old boy who is young brother of case 2, was treated with Charnleys intramedullary nailing and iliac cancellous and cortical graft. The patient is still in the Iong leg cast, six months postoperatively. The evidence of familial and hereditary factor in pedigree is elicited on case 2 and 3. This congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia in the sibling is regared as the first report in Korean literature.

The goals of hip arthroplasty have been to eliminate pain, decrease deformity, increase morbility and obtain stabiIity. Currently total hip replacement is the best avaliable procedure to accomplish these goals. A prospective study of total hip arthroplasty was begun at the orthopedic dept of Kyung Hee Medical College in 1974. Between May, 1974 and June, 1977. 69 total hip replacements of the Charnley type, the Trapesoidal-28 type and the Muller type were peformed by the authors. Of the 60 Patients involved in this study, 9 had bilateral operations. The Charnley type Prosthetic device was used in 56 cases, the Trapesoidal-28 type in 7 cases and the Muller type in 6 cases. Complications included wire breakage, dislocation, loosening, femur shaft perforation, nonunion of greater-trochanter, acetabular protrusion, transient femoral nerve palsy, femur shaft fracture, infection, socket lateralization, ectopic bone formation and death. In 59 patients of the 60 patients, 53 patients felt that they were definitely improved, 5 patients felt their condition was unchanged and 1 patient felt her condition was worse.
