The management of the femoral neck fractures remains a major challenge to the orthopaedic surgeons because there are many critical complications such as non-union and avasular necrosis in spite of the advanced technics of treatment. The posterior comminution of this fracture is known to be an important comtributing factor of these complications as the most important cause of the instalility of reduction after internal fixation as well as difficulty of stable reduction, Authors reviewed 61 cases of the femoral neck fractures which were able to identify the presence or absence of posterior comminution on x-ray or operative findings and were managed at Daegu Fatima Hospital during the 10 years from 1975 to 1984 and the following results were obtained. 1. The incidence of posterior comminution in 61 femoral neck fractures was 56% in x-rays of lateral view and operative findings. 2. Open reductions were performed in 31% of 39 cases in which reductions were necessary for internal fixation and 43% of the fractures with posterior comminution were unstable to reduce by closed method while 88% of the fractures without postrior comminution were reduced by closed method. 3. The positions of reductio were in valgus in 46% and anatomic in the rest of cases and valgus reductions were more common in the cases of posterior comminution. 4. Loss of the reduction after internal fixation noted in 48% of the fractures with posterior comminution and 9% without posterior comminution. 5. 77% of the fractures united including 14% of mal-union and the late complication of non-union noted in 14% and avascular necroris in 9% in 35 cases which were followed for over 1 year. 6. The normal unions were more common in the fractures without posterior comminution, the cases of open reduction and the reduction in valgus position. 7. Most of the mal-unions and non-unions noted in the fractures with posterior comminution, the cases of closed reduction and the reduction in anatomic position. 8. These results suggest that the posterior comminution of the femoral neck fracture causes considerable instability and the better results could be expected in the femoral neck fractures with posterior comminution by the reduction in valgus and by the open reduction if necessary.

The lumbosacral fusion has some problems because of it's biomechanical characteristics especially in the unstable spine of various causes and results considerable cases of pseudoarthrosis even with long immobilization. The conventional internal fixators for the spine are not adequate for the lumbosacral fixation with difficulty of sacral fixation maintaining lumbosacral lordosis and risk of the sacral nerves. Recently the pedicle screws and sacral screws connected to the plates or rods are known to be very effective and safe for the lumbosacral fixation permiting early mobilization and decreasing the incidence of pseudoarthrosis. Authors reviewed 10 cases of lumbosacral fusion with internal fixation using the long bone plates and screws which were managed since June 1986 at the department of orthopaedic surgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital and the followings were obtained. 1. The cases were 5 isthmic and 5 degenerative spondylolisthesis with enough spinal stenosis and instability before surgery or after decompression procedures having ages from 39 to 62 years old. 2. All cases had adequate decompression and bilateral intertransverse fusion combined with the internal fixation from 4th lumbar spine to sacrum. 3. Post-operative complications noted in 3 cases such as superficial infection, marginal skin necrosis, paralytic ileus, urinary difficulty and loosening of screws which were all improved without additional procedures. 4. There was no pseudoarthrosis at follow-up examination of 6 months to 1 year and 9 months in spite of a case of loosening of screws. 5. Ambulation was allowed in 2 weeks after surgery wearing lumbosacral corset and all satisfied the results having complete or significant improvement of the symptoms. 6. The internal fixation using long bone plates and screws for the lumbosacral fusion was considered to be effective with very low cost and good mobility.

The idiopathic osteonecrosis of femoral head is one of the orthopaedic dilemma in regarding the treatment and various trials to preserve the femoral head were known to be effective in the early stage of the disease process. The conventional methods of core decompression and bone graft were not usually indicated in the progressed cases that disclose the subchondral fracture or collapse of the femoral head. Authors reviewed 15 cases of the free fibular strut grafts performed for the progressed idopathic osteonecrosis of femoral head since 1983 at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Daegu Fatima Hospital with follow-up periods from 2 years and 2 months to 4 years and 6 months except for 2 cases who had secondary procedures because of progressive collapse of the femoral head after the bone grafting and the following results were obtained; 1. The cases were 14 males and a female aging from 28 years to 56 years and revealed crescent signs in 9 cases and early collapses in 6 cases on the pre-operative x-rays with involvement in the other sides in 10 cases. 2. The successful results in clinical and roentgenological evaluations were obtained in 8 cases(53%) and progressive collapse was prevented in 10 cases(67%). 3. The exact insertion of the graft up to the subchondral level through the necrotic bone was essential and no weight bearing for 1 year was neccessary for success. 4. The free fibular strut grafts were effective to prevent the progressive collapse in progressed idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

A retrospective study was undertaken to define the factors that cause the neurogenic symptoms in 18 cases of spondylolytic spondylolisthesis who were operated for leg pain and neurologic deficits of motor functions documented by neurologic examination or electromyographic findings in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Fatima Hospital, Daegu for three years since June, 1986. The cases having other combined pathology to cause neurogenic symptoms were excluded. The causes were predetermined by preoperative x-rays, myelograms, electromyograms, and computerized tomograms and the causes were explored at surgery regarding the preoperative findings. The findings were compared with the avilable findings of 13 cases who were operated for low back pain only without any neurogenic pain in the leg during the same period. The cases were quite older and had narrower disc spaces than the back pain group but there were no significant differences in the degree of slipping and stability of slipped level between the two groups. The foraminal stenosis was found in all of the cases and a central stenosis was combined in a case. The intervertebral foramens were narrowed up-down in most of the cases between the bony prominence of proximal pars interarticularis above and the disc and vertebral body below but three cases had soft tissue mass only at the isthmic defect encroaching the foramen. There were hypertrophy of bone and/or soft tissue at the pars interarticularis in all cases. The nerve roots were mainly compressed up-down below pars interarticularis in the foramen in 8 cases and impinged at the anterior foramen in front of the pars interarticularis in 10 cases. The central stenosis was due to marked bony hypertrophy of pars interarticularis and osteophyte of vertebral body. The causes of neurogenic symptoms in spondylolytic spondylolisthesis were foraminal stenosis due to hypertrophy of bone and/or soft tissue at the pars interarticularis combined with narrowing of disc and seemed to be a process of degenerative changes occurring at the motion segment of slipped level.

Displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus result in serious and prolonged disability. These injuries continue to pose a therapeutic challange and there remains a great deal of controversy regarding treatment, operative versus nonperative. The lateral approach for open reduction, popularized by Palmer, has been used by many authors, with high percentage of excellent results. We treated 21 displaced intra-articular fractures of the calvaneus in 18 patients by open reduction and internal fixation through the lateral approach from July 1990 to May 1992 and the patients have been followed from 12 to 36 months from the time of their injury. The clinical and radiographic analyses were as follows; 1. The most common cause of injury was falls from a height: 19 fractures in 16 patients(88.8%), Spine fracture was most commonly associated injury : 5 patients (27.8%). 2. Fracture was classified according to classification of Paley and Hall. Eight fractures were tongue type(no comminution 4, with comminution 4), 12 joint depression type(no comminution 8, with comminution 4), and a comminuted type. 3. The average bohler tuber-joint angle was

To evaluate the sclerotic effects and skin damage of varicose sclerosing agents such as polidocanol, sodium tetradecyl sulfate, hypertonic saline, ethanolamine oleate, these agents were injected into rabbit ear vein and subcutaneous tissue, and the tissue specimens were obtained after 3 hours and 24 hours. The results were as follows. 1) The detergent sclerosing agents (polidocanol, sodium tetradecyl sulfate and ethanolamine sulfate) have strong sclerosing effect and showed the difference in effect according to their concentration, and the skin change was more severe than osmotic agent. 2) The sclerosing effect of osmotic agent (hypertonic saline) was equal to or somewhat less than that of detergent sclerosing agents, but the skin change was minimal. Therefore in the sclerotherapy of early phase varicose vein and telangiectasia, use of osmotic agent (23.4% hypertonic saline) or diluted detergent sclerosing agents (0.75% polidocanol, 0.25% sodium tetradecyl sulfate and 1.5% ethanolamine oleate) might be safe, but in case of more advanced varicose vein, the detergent sclerosing agents (1% polidocanol, 0.5% sodium tetradecyl sulfate and 3% ethanolamine oleate), which have strong sclerosing effect, might be useful.
