The treatment of subtrochanteric fracture of the femur is one of the most difficult problems. Open reduction and rigid internal fixation is the choice of treatment nowaday. Zickel(1967) reported a new fixation device to treat subtrochanteric fracture of the femur which was designed to provide more rigid fixation in both major fragments, control angulation and rotation, and permit earlier ambulation. The authors reviewed 14 cases of subtrochanteric fracture of the femur which were treated with Zickel-Nail from June, 1979 to November, 1980. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The average age of patients was 44.7 years. 2. In 10 cases without associated injury, parallel-bar walking was possible within postoperative one week. In 8 cases of these, crutch walking with partial weight bearing was possible within postoperative 2 weeks. In others, there were some benifits in bed-side care because of rigid internal fixation which was provided with Zickel-Nail. 3. There were no significant postoperative complicatons except 3 cases of technical error. 4. There was no limb shortening except one case which was old complicated nonunion with severe osteoporosis and had a new fracture during Zickel-Nail procedure. 5. There were no differences in radiological bony union between pathologic fracture and traumatic fracture except one case with liver cell carcinoma of subtrochanteric region of the femur which we could not do follow-up study.

PURPOSE: Adult intussusception is relatively rare and it's course is subacute or chronic course. It usually occurs secondary to tumors or other underlying cause. Especially the incidence of associated malignancy is increasing compare to the past. Purpose of this study was review of adult intussusception, our comprehension of the disease improved by and helped to plan treatments METHODS: During the past 11 yeasrs, from January, 1987 to December, 1997, 27 cases of adult intussusception at Department of Surgery, Presbyterian Medical Center were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The age incidence was variable. But it occurred more frequently at 4th decades. Useful radiologic diagnostic tools were CT, U/S as well as barium enema. Nineteen instances of intussusception originating in the small bowel and 8 instances originating in the colon. The etiologic factors were found in 22 cases (74%). Of the 19 small bowel intussusception, 5 cases were associated with malignancy and 3 out of 8 colon intussusception were result from the malignancy. The common malignancy in small bowel was lymphoma and that in colon was adenocarcinoma. Surgical intervention was carried out in all of these 27 cases: 20 cases underwent surgical resection and 7 cases were reduced manually after surgical exploration; Only manually reduction was performed in 4 cases, manually reduction and cecopexy in 2 cases and manually reduction and adhesiolysis in 1 case. CONCLUSION: The malignancy was the major cause of adult intussusception. Especially in colonic intussusception, occupational percentage of malignancy was higher. The common malignancy in small bowel was lymphoma and that in colon was adenocarcinoma. So, we cosidered plans of treatments according to location, etiology and bowel state.
