A study was made on the two cases of congenital adrenogenital syndrome. Cliteroplasty wag performed on the two cases in addition to adrenalectomy in one case. Good results were obtained following the treatment.

We describe a case of cutaneous chylous reflux, which is thought to be a kind of primary lymphedema, in a 19-year-old male who had suffered from multiple vesiculobullae and intermittent swelling on scrotum for about 6 years. Histopathologic findings showed multiple dilated lymphatic vascular channels in papillary dermis.

Serum Lipoperoxide levels were studied in 50 normal Korean and in the following patients; 26 patients with diabetes mellitus, 20 patients with hypertension, 14 patients with ischemic heart disease, 8 patients with cerebrovascular accident and 6 patients with nephrotic syndrome. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. In normal Korean, the average serum lipoperoxide level was 2.62+/-0.27 nmoles M.D. A./ml, with no difference by the sex. 2. In the cases with various disease which in supposed to be related to abnormal lipid metabolism, that is, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, nephrotic syndrome, the serum lipoperoxide value showed statistically significant elevation compared to that of the normal control (p<0.01), but in the patients with cerebrovascular accident the elevation was not significant (p>0.05). 3. The serum lipoperoxide level was coarsely related with the serum concentration of cholesterol and total lipid, the correlation coefficient of which were 0.34 and 0.35 respectively (p<0.05).

Dislocation of peroneal tendons are caused by forceful domifiexion of the foot accompanied by a powerful contraction of the peroneal muscles. This mechanism of injury tears the superior pemneal retinaculum and allows the tendons to snap anteriorly. It is an important, although infrequent, cause of disability of the ankle. The acute injury can be treated by immobilization in a plaster cast, but when there is chronic recurring dislocation, surgical reconstruction is necessary. Authors experienced two cases of dislocation of pemneal tendons which were treated by use of Sarmiento's and Platzgummer's(modified) operative procedures with good results.

Tibial plateau fractures are a common injury which often produce major disability. The extent of actural damage is always greater than that suggested by X-ray, a situation which, if not appreciated, can easily lead to a complacent surgical attitude. Although recent studies suggest that early knee motion and perhaps better surgical technique have improved clinical end-results, still recent series show unaccepatble results in 20-40 percent of cases. The authors analyzed the 37 cases of the tibial plateau fractures treated at the Department of Orthopaedics, Catholic University Medical College, Kang-Nam St. Mary's Hospital and following results were obtained. 1. The highest incidence was in the 5th decade and the next was 4th, and most frequent cases of trauma was pedestrian car accident(83%). 2. The most common fracture type was type VI by Schatzker classification and next was type II. 3. Among 37 cases, 27 were treated by open reduction and internal fixation and 14 out of those 27 cases meeded bone graft for the elevation of the tibial articular surface. 4. According to Blokker's criteria(1984), 32(86.6%) out of 37 cases had satisfactory result. Among 5 cases of unsatisfactory results 3 cases developed varus tilting of the tibial plateau more than 10 during the early stage (6–12 weeks post operation) of follow-up and those 3 were Schatzker's type VI fracture. 5. It is thought that open anatomical reduction of articular surface bone graft, internal fixation and early joint motion are the best way for the treatment of depressed or displaced fracture. 6. It is found tha Schatzker's type VI fracture has a tendency to develop varus tilting through the proximal tibial fracture before it unites completely.
