Pain snd disability often fractures of the cslcaneus even though the original injury was skillfully treated. The causes are traumstic arthritis of the subtalar joint, abnormalities of the peroneal tendons or weakness of Gastrocnemius, etc. We have experienced the resection of lateral prominence of calcaneus in 7 patients who complained of pain by entrapment of peroneal tendons between lateral malleolus and lateral prominence of malunited calcaneus. The follow up time after operation was 3 years and 4 months to 12 months. In all patients the pain was markedly improved between postoperative 5 weeks and 10 weeks. When the last follow up, 6 patients among 7 patients except one case of subtalar arthritis were astisfaetory.

The carpal scaphoid is the commonest of the carpal bones to be fractured, and this injury is the commonest to befall the wrist of working man. There is still some disaggrement as to the optimum treatment and as to how long immobilization should be maintained. The twenty seven cases of the carpal scaphoid were treated at department of orthopaedic surgery, Maryknoll Hospital. They were analyzed in regared to the clinical and radiological aspects. The results were summarized as follows. l. Of 27 cases 24 cases were in the age group 20 to 39, and all cases were male patients. 2. In 17 cases, the fracture was found in right side. 3. In 19 cases (70.4%), the fracture was found on the middle 1/3 of the carpal scaphoid and in 18 cases(66.8%), the fracture line was transverse. 4. The union rate of fracture was 100% in the distal 1/3 fracture, 89.5% in the middle 1/3 fracture and 66.3% in the proximal fracture. The average period of immobilization were 10.3, 14.9 and 15.3 weeks respectively. 5. By Maudsley's assessment, the end result was good in all cases of the distal 1/3 fracture, 84.2% in the middle 1/3 fracture and 66.7% in the proximal 1/3 fracture. 6. Traumatic arthritis developed in 3 cases, avascular ncerosis in 7 cases, nonunion in 4 cases.

Contact urticaria designates a local immediate and/or delayed urticaria reaction, with swelling and redness at the sites of contact with certain agents. Fruits are the frequently causative agent for immunologically mediated contact urticaria. We report herein a contact urticaria occurring in a 20-year-old male immediately aftar contact with peach and plum, and after ingestion of plum, peach and apple. Swelling and itching sensation of lips and oral cavity, and tightness of chest were also developed ofter ingestion of plum, peach and apple.

A clinical review was done on 343 infants and children diagnosed and operated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery in Keimyung University, Dong San Medical Center for congenital gastrointestinal anomalies from January, 1988 to December, 1991. The results are summarized as follows; The most prevalent age group of congenital gastrointestinal anomaly was within first week after birth, and infants within 3months occupied 70% of total, and male to female ratio was 2:1. 2) The moat common lesion of congenital gastrointestinal anomalies was stomach with 87cases (25.4%), followed by anus with 80 cases (23.3%), colon with 63 cases (18.4%) and biliary tract with 38 cases(11.1%). 3) The most common congenital anomaly was congenital hypertophic pyloric stenosis with 87 cases (25.4%), followed by imperforate anus with 70 cases (20.4%), congenital megacolon with 63 cases (18.4%), and prevalent age was 2 week-3month, first week after birth, 1month-3year. 4) The incidence of common congenital gastrointestinal anomalies were mostly higher in male than in female but choledochal cyst was higher in female than in male. 5) Associated anomalies were observed in 14 cases (4%) of total cases, duodenal atresia was seen the highest rate of the associated anomalies and the most common associated anomaly was annular pancreas, followed by Down syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

The distal one-third fractures of tibia have much difficulty in treatment due to enumerous complications such as skin necrosis, angular deformity and delayed union. As for using Ender nails in distal tibial fractures, the stability of fixation can be strengthened with fanning of the nails in distal fragments and using more than 3 nails and 1cm longer nail. Twenty-two patients having distal tibial fractures, were carried out Ender nailing at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Maryknoll Hospital from May 1989 to September 1992. The results were as follows; 1. The distal end of fracture line was situated from 3cm to 9cm above plafond, and the mean duration of radiological bony union was 14.9 weeks except one case of nonunion. 2. Mild angulation developed in two cases and complications such as nonunion, superficial infection and backing out of nail were noted, but it did not affect the results.
