Squamous cell carcinoma in chronic osteomyelitic foci is uncommon malignant tumor although well documented. This article deals with clinical study of 9 cases of squamous cell carcinoma arising in chronic osteomyelitic foci during past 9 years from April 1962 to March 1969 at the Dept. Orthopedic Surgery, Taegu Presbyterian Hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical symptoms, history, tissue and lymph node biopsy. Brief analysis of age and sex distribution, symptoms, physical findings and clinical management were recorded and summarized as follow: 1). This tumor may occur in any age group but all reported cases were after the age of 30. 2). Only 1 outof 9 cases was female. 3). The common clinical manifestations at the time of admission were draining sinus with foul odorous discharge, fungating mass and enlargement of regional lymph node. 4). More than 80% of our series occurred in the lower extremity, tibia acouting 55.6%. 5). 6 casses had epen fracture and duration of osteomyelitis was 28 years in average. 6). Biopsy included tissues from all portions of sinuses, a fungating mass and the tissues from the marrow space in case of deep extension. 7). The choice of treatment consisted of early adequate amputation or radical resection of the focus and irradiation.

Congenital synostosis of the proximal ends of the radius and ulna is a rare malformation which often completely prevents pronation and supination of the forearm. The evidence for a genetic etiology is provided by noting its presence in a Klinefelter's syndrome and its positive familial history. Two cases of congenital radioulnar synostosis occurred in brothers have been experienced and are to be reported with review of references.

The characteristics of echocardiographic dilated cardiomyopathy according to its etiologic factors were studied from June, 1984 to September, 1986 in Pusan national University Hosptial. The cases included in the study were 144 patients, 90 cases of male and 54 cases of female respectively ranging the age from 17 years old to 79 years old. Patients with valvular heart disease were excluded in this study. The results were as follows: 1) Primary dilated cardiomyopathy was 40.3%, and secondary dilated cardiomyopathy was 59.7% of the study group. In secondary dilated cardiomyopathy, its etiologic factors were hypertension 17.4%, ischemic heart disease 27.8%, thyrotoxicosis 5.6%, chronic renal failure 4.8%, pregnancy 3.4% and alcohol drinking 0.7%. 2) Atrial fibrillation was noted in 32.6% of primary, 36.0% of hypertensive, 30.0% of ischemic and 62.5% of toxic cardiomyopathy. Conduction disturbance was noted in 57.1% of uremic cardiomopathy, it was far more frequent comparing with other cases of cardiomyopathy ranging 20-30%. 3) The frequency of end-diastolic internal dimension of left ventricle over 6.0cm was 58.6% in primary, 68.0% in hypertensive, 75.0% in ischemic, 71.4% in uremic and 40.0% in postpartum cardiomyopathy. 4) The frequency of ejection fraction of left ventricle below 40% was 17.2% in primary, 8.0% in hypertensive, and 28.2% in ischemic cardiomyopathy. 5) The paradoxical motion of anteroseptal wall of left ventricle was observed in 6.9% of primary, 4.0% of hypertensive, and 17.5% of ischemic cardiomyopathy. The ratio of anteroseptal wall motion to posterior wall motion below 0.4 was 15.6% in primary, 20.0% in hypertensive, and 25.0% in ischemic cardiomyopathy. 6) The frequency and grade of mitral regurgitation became increased with the dilatation of left ventricle. 7) The follow-up of cardiothoracic ratio was helpful significantly in the prediction of prognosis.

We experienced a case of sparganosis developed in the dorsum of penile shaft where, we think, is the very rare site of sparganosis reported in Korea. The patient, a 23 year-old Korean soldier, had slight tender thread-like linear subcutaneous mass on the dorsal aspect of penile shaft for 1 month prior to coming to us. The skin lesion was not palpated when the penis was erect. He had experience of intaking raw-snakes intermittently(5 times) since 2 years ago.

Reviewing 16 patients of fractures and dislocations of the cervical spine treated and managed at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital from January 1963 to August 1970 We came to the following conclusions: 1. The incidence of trauma was high in the young men, most frequent in the 3rd and 4th decades. 2 Most of the injuries were the results of automobile accidents or of falls on the head and neck. 3. Twelve of sixteen patients had dislocations or subluxations associated with the fractures and the remainder of 16 had dislocations or subluxations without demonstrable fractures. These occurred most often at the level of the 5th and 6th cervical vertebra. 4. Twelve of sixteen patients had a total of demonstrable fractures, and compression of a vertebral body was the most common type of fracture. 5. Trauma to the head was the commonest associated injury. 6. Mild or severe cord damage signs had developed in 12 of 16 patients; a case who was assocated with severe cerebral damage was dead, 7 were quadriplegic and 4 returned to former professional life. The remainder of 16 had a good recovery without disability.
