Femoral fracture, dislocation of the hip, or tasumatic amputation of the ipsilateral lower extremity is a rare injury. There has been only a few reports describing their managements. All amputated limbs are vulnerable to fracture, which occur frequently around the hip. Conservative treatments are not always adequate for the managements of fracture and dislocation of the hip and operative procedures are needed in almost patients. Among various operative measures, prosthetic replacement surgery may be indicated in cases of non-united fracture of the femoral neck, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, pathological fracture, or osteoporosis. We performed two cases of total hip replacement for the non-united fracture of the femoral neck(case 1) and the avascular necrosis of the femoral head(case 2) in the ipsilateral lower limb amputees, each. The early results were known to be very satisfactory postoperatively. The first patient was followed for 17 months and the second patient for 22 months. 1. P.C.A. femoral stems and acetabular cups were used without cement in both cases. A operative time was 2 hours and 22 minutes in the first case, 1 hour 45 minutes. in the second case. 2. There were no significant intraoperative or postoperative complications. 3. The functions of each hip were evaluated postoperatively by the method of Jesse and showed satisfactory results. 4. During the follow-up period, roentgenogram showed no significant bony changes around the femoral stems and acetabular cups. 5. The prosthetic replacement is also valuable for the treatment of the fracture-dislocation of the hip in the lower limb amputee.

3.The Primary Poro-Coated Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty (AML , PCA and HGP Prostheses)
Kee Young PARK ; Sung Kwan HWANG
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1990;25(1):222-230
This is a follow-up study of 88 cases of cementless total hip replacement in 77 patients(59 males and 18 female), using AML, PCA and HGP prostheses, performed at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine, between September 1984 and December 1987. The follow-up period ranged from 18 to 56 months, the average being 34 months. The youngest patient was 21 and the oldest one was 79, the average being 47 years. The results were as follows:1. The average of Harris hip score was 89.7 points(Preop, 55.4 pints) at one year for 77 patients and 91.4 points at two years for 68 patients. 2. Radiographic analysis. a. Radiodense line:10 cases(11.4%) around the acetabular cup. 20 cases(22.7%) around the femoral stem. b. Calcar resorption:4 cases with AML stem(4/30), 2 cases with HGP stem(2/7). c. Subsidence:5 cases in PCA group(5/51).d. Radiological loosening:1 cases in PCA stem(1/51). 3. Intraoperative complications a. Femur neck fracture:15 cases(17%);5 cases in PCA group(5/51), 8 cases in AML group (8/31), and 2 cases in HGP group(2/7). b. Lateral collateral ligament tear:One case in PCA prosthesis(1/51). 4. Postoperative complications a. Prosthetic joint dislocation occured in 3 cases:1 case, closed reduction after tight adductor release:2 cases, cup reinsertion due to poor cup position. 5. Heterotopic ossification developed in 5 cases(5.7%) without significant loss of ROM. 6. Postoperative infection developed in 2 cases(2.3%):One superficial and the other deep. All were treated successfully with systemic antibiotics after irrigation and debridement.

4.Hippocratic Tradition: Recent Historiographies since 19th Century.
Korean Journal of Medical History 1997;6(1):105-120
This paper reviews historiographies on Greek medicine and aims at understanding the Hippocratic tradition. In western medicine, Hippocrates has always been an ideal of the physicians. While the importance of Hippocrates has declined with the advance of modern medical knowledge and he is no longer assumed to be the man of all medical wisdom, his name still represents an ethical code and the importance of the works associated with his name becomes still alive. The Hippocratic collections, Corpus Hippocraticum, throw light not only on the origins and early development of classical medicine, but on its place in Greek society. In the course of reviewing, some issues about the Corpus, including 'the Hippocratic Question', shall be discussed. Although numerous modern scholars have attempted to identify within the Corpus the genuine works of Hippocrates himself -a problem that already had exercised the ancient commentators including Galen-, none have succeeded in this attempt definitely. The Corpus is evidently the works of many medical writers, belonging to different groups or schools and representing quite opposed viewpoints. Thus apart from the school of Cos, associated with Hippocrates himself, the rival school of Cnidus was probably responsible for several of the works in the Corpus. But Hippocrates and the Corpus were regarded as more or less coextensive, and although a scholar in citing a text as authority might remark that it was thought not to be by Hippocrates, he would cite it none the less. Regarding this point, I have examined some trends grouping the Corpus in the Hippocratic tradition in the fourth section. From the point of Hippocratic tradition, Galen's position marked a turning point. What was crucial was that Galen saw him as the originator of rational medicine. And in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries there were many leading medical writers who continued to express their admiration for Hippocrates including Paracelsus, Sydenham, and Boerhaave. They admired Hippocrates because of his detailed clinical observations and the examples he set of the doctor's devotion and concern for his patients. But one must distinguish between the idealization of Hippocrates as a doctor and the idealization of him as a medical and biological theorist. It is one thing to represent him as a skillful physician and it is another to accept his views on problem of medical theory. Modern scholarship could have distinguished both between different phases in the growth of Hippocrates' reputation and between the different pictures of Hippocrates that were presented.

Progressive Muscular Dystrophy is a hereditary disorder characterized by progressive weakness and wasting of muscules. The etiology of muscular dystrophy is unknown, and no from of pharmacological treatment is considered effective. We report 2 cases of progressive muscular dystrophy occuring in a family, which were diagnosed by clinical findings, serum enzyme study and electromyography.

Authors analyzed 72 cases of abdominal CT of Korean adults who didn't have any medical reasons to believe thespleen was abnormal. The following criteria were measured with mulitiple transverse scanning of the entire lengthof spleen (height, breadth, thickness) & relationship with fixed midline structure, the spine( the shortestdistance from midline to medial edge of spleen, the longest distance from anterior margin of vertebral body toanterior tip of spleen). The reults were as follows; 1. The average size in adult was 8.0±1.5cm in height,8.6±1.2cm in breadth and 3.4±0.6cm in thickness; in adult female, 7.8±1.1cm, 8.4±1.0cm and 3.4±0.6cm,respectively; total average, 7.9±1.3cm, 8.5±1.1cm and 3.4±0.6cm, respectively. No remarkable difference wasnoted between both sexes and age groups. 2. The shortest distance from midline to medial edge of spleen was4.1±1.1.cm in male, 3.6±1.0cm in female and total average of 3.9±1.1cm. There was remarkable difference betweenboth sexes(p<0.005) but not between age groups. 3. The longest distance from anterior margin of vertebral body toanterior edge of spleen was 2.3±1.7cm in male, 2.0±1.4cm in female and total average of 2.2±1.6cm. Noremarkable difference was seen between both sexes and age groups.
