Dysplasia Epiphysealis Capitis Femoris (capital dysplasia) is a clinical — radiologic syndrome which resembles Perthes' disease but has important differences, especially in its course and prognosis.
Its radiographs show no collapse or gross fragmentation of the femur.
The structure of the head is granular but the final result is normal structure and a normal shape of the head.
Progressiv improvement of the radiologic appearance of the epiphysis characterizes capital dysplasia.
We found two cases among 33 patients with the diagnosis of Perthes' disease.
These showed progressiv improvement of the radiologic appearance and developed a normal or nearly spherical femoral head but the left hip of case I that developed Perthes' disease.

Hereditary hyperphosphatasia is a rare familial disease characterised by skeletal abnormalities, that is, cortical thickening and bowing of long bones and thickening of the skull bone, and high serum level of alkaline phosphatase. The disease usually appears in childhood. Female, 44, had onset of leg deformities at age 12. Deformity of facial bone had progressed during third decade. Hearing was reduced at age 40. Roentgenologically, the bone of the cranial vault was thickened and sclerotic. Cortical thickening and lateral bowing of the long bone was characteristic. The alkaline phosphatase level was high.

Gagroylism, congenital disorder of mucopolysaccharide metabolism, was first described by Hunter in 1917. Its main clinical features are as follows; 1) mental retardation, 2) dwarfism, 3) Gargoyle appearance, 4) hepatomegaly and splenomegaly and 5) corneal opacity.
Recently, we have observed a ten-years-old boy who suffered from protuberant abdomen and retardation of growth. Clinically, a limitation in joints movement and an umbilical herniation as well as the above mentioned features except corneal opacity, were existed. On X-ray examination, an enlarged Turkish saddle, oar-shaped ribs, cocave lenz-shaped vertebral bodies, coxa valga and hypoplastic carpalia were observed.
We performed tetracycline bone labelling in this case. The number of tetracycline labelled osteons per mm
2 of cortical cross section (symbol; Af) was 1.0 in the eleventh rib of this case. It was less than the Af in 10 age normal subjects.

A 24-years-old male with hemophilia-A developed a large hemophilic pseudotumor of the right thigh, which was treated by subtrochanteric amputation of the femur. The preoperative level of antihemophilic globulin (A. H. F.) was 0.5%, and clotting time was prolonged over 35 minutes. The dose of 30u/kg of A. H. F. was administered preoperatively and 3 vials were added during operation.
Postoperatively the dose of 30u/kg/day of A. H. F. was given by the method of divided drip infusion three times a day for a week, following by gradual decrease of the doses.
The wound was partially opend twice and healed 10 weeks after the operation.

Interesting clinical pictures of two cases with intra-spinal anomalies inciuding diastematomyelia were presented.
Case 1, 7 years old girl, had complained of the foot deformity and anal atresia. From the radiographical and the surgical findings, she proved to have partial diastematomyelia, lumbosacral vertebral anomalies and sacral agenesis. The conus medullaris was located at the sacral level.
Case 2, 1 year old girl, complaining congenital scoliosis. The presice radiographic investigation suggested diastematomyela at L3-L5. The surgical procedure demonstrated a bony septum dividing the dural tube and a lipoma in the right 51 root.
The necessity to prevent the development of the neurological disorders by early detection was emphasised.

From June 1969 through September 1974, seven patients with tumor of the cauda equina were operated on in our hospital. The most common symptoms were pains in the lumbar region and legs at the onset and the five cases out of seven were first treated as protruded intervertebral discs until referred to our clinic. Pathological findings were as follows: neurilemmoma in four cases, meningioma, malignant schwannoma and lipoma in one case respectively. It is convinced that early accurate diagnosis is important for preventing of permanent residual paralysis.

We have experienced 4 cases of Dupuytren contracture during past one year. Our incidence of sex (3 male, 1 female), age (from 47 to 80, average 63.3) and finger involvement (3rd, 4th, 5th finger) were similar to many other reports. An operative procedure was performed on two cases (case 3, case 4).
Case 3: Age 47, male, a office worker, became aware of subcutaneous indurations in the left palm about 10 years ago and gradually became suffering from contracture of the 3rd, 4th and 5th finger. He also noted indurations in the right palm and both plantar redions about 2 years ago. On February 4th 1974, a partial aponeurectomy was done to the left palm and to the right palm on April 10th. No recurrence and extension have appeaared even 8 or 10 months passed since the opration was performed.
Case 4: Age 54, female, a manual worker, was caught in a washing machine and a plaster cast was applied for 2 weeks under the diagnosis of the styloid process fracture of the left ulna. She became aware of indurations in the left palm about 4 weeks after injuried and gradually became suffering from contracture of 3rd, 4th and 5th finger. Recently she noted indurations in the right palm and both plantar regions. On May 24th 1974, a partial aponeurectomy was done to the left palm, but finger contractures have recurred 6 months after operation because of the lack of post-operative physical treatment. This case may be so-called “post-traumatic Dupuytren contracture.”

Thumb-in-palm deformity in which thumb is adducted and flexed in palm is caused by many disorders. This deformity not only prevents the thumb from functioning in pinch but also prevents the hand functioning in grasp and release. And so correction of the thumb-in-palm deformity is very important for function of upper extremity.
We have treated this deformities which are mainly associated with cerebral palsied hand by conservative and surgical treatment at Adachi Gakuen Hospital. Ten patients, 14 hands, in which 7cases were C. P., 2 cases were arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and 1 case was congenital clasped thumb were selected for surgical treatment.
The results of surgical treatment were relatively good in grasp release function, pinch, activity of daily living and appearance in many cases.

We present the experiences of 30 operations in 12 patients in the use of lateral rotation flap. We find some merits during the performance of lateral rotation flap.
(1) The joint can be covered by the flap.
(2) Through the flap, arthroplasty and tendon suture can be performed later.
(3) The elasticity of the joint can be gained.
(4) The flap is also in good result in gross appearance.
For the excellent result of the lateral rotation flap, we apply it not only in the dorsal digital surface but also to reconstruct the joint of knee and axillary area.

1) Incidence
2) Relationship between patella alta and range of the knee motion.
3) Relationship between patella alta and age.
4) Relationship between patella alta and genu recurvatum of the knee.
Patella alta observed in 24 cases (56%) of spastic children and 6 cases (30%) of athetoid children.
In spastic children, patella alta increased with age. The range of active knee motion decreased first, then those of passive motion decreased later with age. The number of patients with genu-recurvatum who did not have patella alta was observed more frequently in athetoid than in spastic children.

He came to our clinic at fifth day of the onset, complaining severe pain on his left leg.
At emergency operation, rupture of peroneus longus muscle and much bloody coagulation were observed in the distended compartment, and both peroneal muscles appeared to be severely ischemic and necrotic, so, total excision of the muscles was carried.
In spite of the muscular defects, functional loss of his ankle joint is not remarkable.
He have recovered so good as to play football since seven months after the surgery.
