The angle of the femoral anteverison has been recognized as an important consideration in the orthopedic Geld. The angle of the femoral anteversion can be measured roentgenographically by 3 methods, such as fluoroscopic, biplanar and axial methods. It is the purpose of this study to investigate the comparative accuracy of the roentgenographic methods determining the angle of the femoral anteversion. The measurements by the fluoroscopic(Rogers), biplanar (Magilligan) and axial (Dunn) methods were compared with the direct measurement of 42 adult dried femora and the measured values were statistically analyzed. The results were as follows: l. Among fluoroscopic, biplanar and axial methods, the biplanar method using Magilligan technique was the statistically reliable method to determine the angle of the femoral anteversion. 2. The axial method showed tendency to underestimate the angle of the femoral anteversion. 3. Though the fluoroscopic method was not so accurate as the biplanar method statistically, the 2 methods showed no difference in the ratio of measurement error within ±5°and ±10° range.

We evaluated the role of endoseopic balloon dilatation for esophageal strictures caused by postoperative anastomosis in 5 cases, sclerotherapy in 4 cases, caustic injury in 6 cases, and malignancy in 16 cases. The success rate of balloon dilatation was 100% in postoperative anastomotic and post-scle- rotherapy strictures, 16.7% in caustic stricture, and 62.5% in malignant stricture. The addition of bougienage increased the final success rate of dilatation therapy from 16.7 to 66.7% in caustic stricture, and 62.5 to 93.8% in malignant stricture. The overall one-year recurrence rate in benign stricture was 34.5%. All of the recurrent strictures were successfully retreated by balloon dilatation. In conclusion, endoscopic balloon dilatation is a safe, effective, and easy method for the management of benign esophageal strictures except longstanding caustic stricture, and can be used as an auxiliary therapy prior to more definitive treatments such as esophageal intubation in malignant stricture.

80 cases of Cysticercosis were studied and analysed, which were diagnoses by biopsy at Seoul National University in the past three years from January-1978 to March-1980. The results were summerized as follows. 1. The relative incidence ratio of cysticercosis among 18,941 surgical specimens was 0.42%. 2. The age group between 11 and 50 years old occupied 87.5%. 3. Of the 80 cases, there were 38 males and 42 female patients, without significant sex predominence. 4. The common sites of cysticercosis were upper extremities (35.0%) and anterior surface of the trunk (37.5%) 5. Epidemiologically, there was marked predominence of rural area over urban area. 6. There were 8 cases (10%) of definite cerebral cysticercosis and 4 cases (5%) of suspicious cerebral cysticercosis. 7. In the cases of nodular masses of extremities, the parasitic infection, especiaily cysticercosis celluiosae, must be included in differential diagnosis distinguished from other soft tissue tumors.
