This case is a boy aged thirteen years, who sustained a slight injury to his left elbow while playing soft ball game. He visited our hospital with a complaint of his left elbow pain.
Radiographs showed a picture often described as characteristic of congenital dislocation of the radial head. As a result of clinical and X-ray examinations this case was diagnosed as the congenital anterolateral dislocation of the radial head.
The radial head was removed and the ulnar nerve was translocated anteriorly with satisfactory results.

Esterase isozymes were studied in the extracts of bone and soft parts tumors. The isozymes were extracted with 0.25M sucrose solution and separated on polyacrylamide gel according to Tomino et al. Esterase activity was detected in the polyacrylamide gels by the method using α-naphthyl acetate and hexazotized pararosaniline.
In the tissue varieties examined. a composite total of 12 discrete esterase bands were discerned.
The extracts of three specimens of lipomas revealed the same isozyme pattern as normal adipose tissue. In the extracts of three liposarcomas, the isozyme pattern showed greater heterogeneity.

Five cases of benign chondroblastoma were presented in this report. Three cases had tibial involvement, talus and pubis was also affected in each one case. Four males and one female. The age range was 12 to 28 years.
Histologically, tumors were consist of oval chondroblasts and giant cells with cartilage matrix, stained slightly with Alcian blue.
The ultrastructures of chondroblast and cartilage matix were studied utilizing TEM and SEM. The well developed and sometimes dilated endoplamic reticulums and filaments in the cytoplasm were characteristic and also, protein-mucopolysaccharide was detected by PAM staining. By energy dispersive analysis of X-ray, apatite clusters with 0.5 to 0.8μ in diameter in tumor matrix showed a little different patterns of Ca, P and S from the epiphyseal cartilage matrix.

During these 5 years we have experienced 5 cases of spinal cord neurinoma (2 men, 3 women). One was multiple and 4 were single. When classified by injured sites of the vertebrae, 2 were in the thoracic vertebrae, 2 in the lumbar ones and the rest (multiple case) was distributed in the changing part from the thoracic to lumbar vertebrae. Patients complained of lumbago, pain and numbness in the limb, and were diagnosed at the first medical examination as radicular ischias and spondylosis deformans. The period from the onset of symptoms to surgical treatment extended from 3 months to 12 years, though 4 cases were within 2 years. The other was of the multiple type, and as it was encountered by a traffic accident, its symptoms were complicated and to diagnose was very difficult. These may be the causes of spending a long time until surgical treatment.
All the cases were treated by surgical total extirpation, and histologically diagnosed as neurinoma. Postoperative courses were uneventful.

Needle biopsy was conducted in 18 cases of soft tissue tumors, and the success that biopsy made in soft tissue tumors was 94.4%.
Especially the diagnostic correctness rate proved at 94.1%.
Technique, instruments, clinical materials, localisation and successful results were discribed with figures and tables.
The complications were little. Swelling occurred in only one case following biopsy.
Advantages of needle biopsy are that (1) the method is simple and safty, (2) in the great majority of cases the method can be applied to out-patient and (3) the technique can be applied by non-specialists.

The roentogenographic examination revealed lytic lession of the cortex in the distal metaphysis of both femurs with excessive periosteal reaction. The histological findings did not show typical pattern of Histiocytosis X.
Culture of curettage material revealed Staphylococcus. The patient did not response to antibiotics, but responsed dramatically to vincristine, so we clinically suspects Histiocytosis X rather than osteomyelitis.

In a severe crush fracture of the calcaneus, part of the lateral cortex may be displaced to lie under the lateral malleorus.
This may cause local pain and tenderness either by direct bony contact or by compression of the peroneal tendons.
Previously the surgical treatment of the complication has been excision of the displaced bone. However, in this way a trouble of calcaneal width does not improve. Excision of the tip of the latcral malleorus by ISBLSTER (1974) is good procedure in this condition.
In our cases, five of the six patients reported were completely relieved of lateral pain.

Zur Diskussion gestellt wurde hier zunächst über das Behandlungsergebnis von der lateralen Humeruskondylenfraktur bei insgesammt 31 Patienten, die in meiner Privatklinik behandelt worden waren.
In den Fällen, wobei die Frakturfragmente nicht über 1mm. verschoben waxen, erziehlte konservative Behandlung das gute Ergebnis.
Bei einem Kinde hat es eine Pseudoarthrose gebildet, bei denen anfänglich keine Fragmentverschiebung zu erkennen war. Durch blutige Reposition konnte eine sichere Frakturheilung erreicht werden. Man sah jedoch in 2 Fällen die Frakturheilung in Cubitus varusstellung (nach längerer Beobachtungszeit von jeweils 1.5 und 4 Jahren).
Es taucht bei der blutigen Reposition stets das Problem mit dem geeigneten Fixationsmittel auf. Der Fechtendraht nach Professor M. Yamamoto hat es logisch gelösst und er ist leicht verwendbar. Mein eigenes verbesserten Modell wurde bei der Gelegenheit vorgestellt.
Es gab die Fälle, die nicht einfach von einer Transkondylenfraktur zu differenzieren liessen.
Bei der medialen Kondylenfraktur ist es wegen ihrer äusserst Instabilität, kann eine exakte Fixation nur dann ermöglicht werden, wenn man einen wirkungsvollen Fixationsdraht verwendet.

Twenty-four unreduced CDH treated primarily by Pavlik's bandage were experienced for the past 4 years. Our method of treatment is the classical Lorenz's method for one to 2 months followed by Pavlik's bandage for 3 to 4 months. While three hips were re-dislocated within two weeks after Lorenz's method, they could be all reduced by additional Lorenz's method. Two hips showed residual subluxation at the end of our treatment were successfully reduced by Lange's method.
Fifteen hips (62.5 %) out of 24 CDH showed excellent and good short-term results.
Our method of treatment is believed to be a reliable method for CDH unreduced by Pavlik's bandage.

Of 6 cases with this deformity, the process of its development was analysed by persuading the course of treatment and radiographic changes.
It was found out that most of the cases had been treated before three months of age. They were immobilized in frog-leg plaster cast following closed reduction.
On the radiographs all of them showed not only the involvement of epiphysis and physis of the femoral head, but also metaphysis.
In comparison with normal cases, all of them showed the growing disturbance of the femoral neck.

1. No clinical complication has been observed except in one case in which joint pain and fatigability of the lower extremities were complained.
2. Radiological examinations disclosed the increase of femoral neck-shaft angle, elongation of the femoral neck and deformity of the femoral head in some cases, ascribable to the release of the trochanter major.
3. The trochanter major developed to the normal size in its new position.
4. There were found deformity of the trochanter minor in a few cases as a probable result of the release of the iliopsoas muscle.
5. It is still an open question whether this procedure is effective or ineffective as a treatment of Perthes' disease.

Since 1974 we have performed total hip replacement proposed by Charnley and Müller on 16 patients or 20 joints including 11 cases of osteoarthrosis of the hip joint (15 joints), three cases of salvage operation follwing intracapsular fracture of the neck of femur and two cases of necrosis of the head of femur. The average age of the patients was 50 years, ranging from 35 to 67 years. The follow-up study for six to 23 months, one year on the average, revealed a marked improvement in 16 cases, from preoperative 50 points to postoperative 85 points according to the clinical evaluation standard recommended by the Third ad hoc Committee of Japan Orthopedic Society. The grades of satisfaction by patients themselves were also high, 94 per cent of them expressing Grade A and B. There was, however, one case of recurrent pain owing to loosening 22 months after the operation.
This was fortunately corrected by a revisionary operation, but there remains a possibility that similar cases could be expected in future.
Therefore, one should be cautious in reducing the age limit for this operation, even though the satisfaction grades of the operated patients were favorable.

By revision operation of 6 cases of them, it was confirmed that unsuccess was caused of the wear of H. D. P. head. Histology showed that fine particles of the weared H. D. P. induce the foreign body inflammation granuloma in the capsule and in the neighbor bone tissue. Bone destruction comes first to proximal region of the femur and finally to the acetabulum.

Because the peroneal nerve is present just beneath the skin especially near the lateral aspect of the knee joint, it is very susceptible to injury.
Authors presented a case of peroneal nerve palsy maybe caused by compression of the fabella and reviewed the literatures reported untill last year.
Case report:
53 years old engeneer admitted in February 1975 with a diagnosis of lumbar disc lesion. He had complained of pain and numbness on the lateral aspect of the right leg and the dorsum of the foot. Since the symptomes increased from the full extension of his knee, he was forced to keep his knee flexed at 15-20 degrees.
On the physical examination, (1) hypesthesia on the lateral aspect of the right leg and the dorsum of the foot, (2) weakness of extensor hallucis longus muscle, and (3) Tinel's sign over the peroneal nerve at the level of the lateral head of gastrocnemius were demonstrated. Plne X-p., laboratory data, lumbar myelogram and electromyogram were almost normal. On February 25, 1974, surgical exploration of the peroneal nerve was performed. It was compressed and stretched by the osseous mass (fabella) through the gastrocnemius in the full extension of the knee, but by the flexion its tension was decreased. The shape and size of removed fabella was normal and its articular surface was yellow and fibrillated.
On next day of operation no pain was noted. Muscle weakness and hypesthesia disappeared within 3 weeks and 8 weeks after the operation.
Untill last year 10 cases in Japan and only one case in U. S. A. had be reported. These cases reviewed with the authors case.

Muscle activities and three dimentional photographic pictures at the same time.
Each values are converted to digital values through adequate digitazing tools. By measuring photographic pictures, positions and velocities of hand movement are obtained. Electromyographic wave are put into computer through A/D convertor, processed by the method of ordinary digital processing of signals, give the necessary information of muscle activites.
The relation between the joint position and role and activities of muscles in each stages of hand movement were made clear by spontaneous recording of electromyography and pictures.

In this paper, several kinds of stimulation were given to the dog bone marrow and response was analyzed electrophysiologically. Histological studies of the bone marrow were also carried out.
Intraosseous pressure stimulation produced response on threshold of 100-130mmHg.
Intramedullary administration of chemical pain substances produced responses at the following concentrations: potassium chloride, 10
-3g/ml; acethylcholine chloride, 10
-7g/ml; histamine dihydrochloride, 10
-6g/ml; serotonin, 10
-6g/ml; bradykinine, 10
-8g/ml.
Ligature of the femoral artery caused reduction of intramedullary temperature, and response was obtained at thermal reduction of 0.8°-1.0°C. Infusion of epirenamine hydrochloride (10
-3g/ml) or norepirenamine hydrochloride (10
-3g/ml) into the bone marrow induced the thermal fall, which produced response at 0.5-1.2°C.
The medullary branch of tibial nerves used for leading, comprised unmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibers mixedly in a ratio of about 6.6:1, mostly included in the category of Aδ or C fibers. End structures of nerve fibers in the bone marrow were of the simple branching or non branching type, and lacked specific endings.

Cliical and histopathologic features were remiewed and analized on twelve patients with bone and joint tuberculosis. The ages of the of the patients ranged from 19 to 73 years with an average of 46 years, Six patients were male and six were female. Sites were were as follows; radius; one, wrist joint; one, finger joint; one, major trochanter two, knee joint; three, tibia and wrist joint; 1, and ankle joint; three. Four petients had been affected from another tuberculous diseases (lung, kidney, lymph node, etc). All cases were finally diagnosed by histologic examination from excised specimens.
Histologically, marked involution of tuberculous lesion was found in the specimens from the cases with treatment by chemotherapy. There were, however, small numbers of newly formed tubercles here and there in these specimens also.

Recently, we think thoracic outlet syndrome so noteworthy on it's diagnosis and treatment. In the past five years, there have been 30 cases of thoracic outlet syndrome in own clinic.
We have some problems on the diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome, for example, the objective finding, the compression test of the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels and angiography.
We report our cases and describe these problems.
