Twenty-one acetabular osteophytes in osteoarthritic hips were studied by means of X-ray and histological examination using tetracycline labelling method. The osteophyte could be observed most clearly by tomography pre-operatively. Intense tetracycline fluorescence was seen along the osteo-chondral junction of the osteophyte. As for the distribution of tetracycline, fluorescence of the osteophyte was similiar to that of capital drop. Intense tetracycline fluorescence at the osteo-chondral junction of the osteo-phyte was seen in 16 joints, mild in 4 joints, and no fluorescence in one joint. The tetracycline uptake was more prominent in the unstable osteoarthritic hip.

Femoral head prostheses with long stem were applied for following three cases after resection of the proximal femur with bone tumor:
The first case of a 15-year-old boy was malignant degenerated multiple cartilaginous exostosis extending in the proximal femur. The second case of a 21-year-old man was well-differentiated chondrosarcoma extending in the proximal femur with three recurrences after wide resection. The third case of a 26-year-old female was giant cell tumor of the femoral neck.
At present all patients are free from symptoms and are satisfied with the operative results. The prosthetic replacement operation is thought to be encouraging for treatment of some bone tumors in the proximal femur.

To our knowledge, fifty five cases have been reported since the first ease report by Jaffe in 1958.
The patient, 38 years old male, was addmited with chief complaint of pain in the left lower extremity. On X-ray examination of bone, there were abnormal radiolucent area in the neck of the left femur.
Histologically, the majority of the tumor consisted of collagen fiber and fibroblast was expanded diffusely.
In the peripheral of the tumor, there were some giant cells. Curettage and bone grafting was carried out. He has now usual activities of daily living after the operation.

Recently we experienced three cases of tumors or tumorous conditions in the femoral neck of children.
Case 1. A boy, 13 years old, was treated with resection and autogenous bone graft. The histological diagnosis was nonossifying fibroma. The course was satisfactory.
Case 2. A girl, 7 years old, was treated with homogenous and autogenous bone graft. The histological diagnosis was solitary bone cyst. The course was satisfactory.
Case 3. A girl, 11 years old, She had already sustained the pathologic transcervical fracture and was treated with curettage, accurate reduction, bone grafting and internal fixation. But the femoral head was followed by aseptic necrosis. The histological diagnosis was granulation surrounding the necrotic bone tissue. Therefore the pathologic diagnosis couldn't be established.

A review of musculoskeletal tumors in our hospitals yielded 26 lesions with features allowing classification as malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) on a purely histological basis. The clinical findings in the 26 cases with follow up information are presented. The MFH is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of late adult life, and any tumors previously diagnosed as liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, or rhabdomyosarcoma are probably examples of MFH. The tumors of bone are previously diagnosed as giant cell tumor, plemorphic sarcoma or fibrosarcoma. They occur radiologically as osteolytic lesions with or without marginal sclerosis developing in metaphysis or epiphysis of long bone. The 5-year cumulative survival for the bone and soft tissue tumor was equally 54.0 per cent.

We examined correlations between cellular immunity and clinical courses of malignant tumors of bone and soft tissue, using immunological skin tests.
We used purified PHA, Su-Polysaccharide, Streptokinase-Streptodornase and PPD.
1) Values of initial skin tests correlated with the prognoses of malignant tumors.
2) Values of initial skin tests of patients with malignant tumors were lower than those of patients with benign tumors and healthy people.
3) Values of skin tests got lower as the clinical stage went worse.
Several skin tests must be performed frequently, and we should summarize them with other clinical features and serological findings to know the stage and prognosis of malignant tumors.

Recently, Immuno-therapy plays an important part of therapy for malignant tumors.
This time we examined T-cell subpopulation of tumor bearing patients.
Healthy men and benign tumor patients have similar range distribution as controls.
Malignant tumor-patients have lower range than the former.
Especially, a case of Osteosarcoma, 15 years old-girl, showed good correlation between her clinical stage and T-cell subpopulation.
The value of preamputation is 45%, and post-amputation 38%, and 2 months after amputation inproved up to 55%.
But appearing metastasis to the lung, it showed decreasing to 28%.
Considering of this case, T-cell subpopulation reflected her clinical stage and the activity of host-immunity.

Two sibs, aged 35 and 28 years, respectively, presented a phenotype intermediate between that of Hurler and of Scheie syndromes. Both had severe dwarfism, characteristic facies, corneal clouding, dysostosis multiplex, restriction of joint mobility, umbilical and inguinal hernias, hepatosplenomegaly and normal intelligence. Both were found to excrete large amounts of acid mucopolysaccharides with a major fraction consisting of dermatan sulfate and a small amount of heparan sulfate.
Peripheral leucocytes from these two sibs exibited α-L-iduronidase deficiency. In view of these findings, they were diagnosed as Hurler-Scheie compound heterozygosity but the possibility of another mutation at the iduronidase locus might also be considered.

We reviewed 29 cases of the congenital muscular torticollis which had been treated by open tenotomy during the period of 1956-1972 in our clinic and evaluated by direct examination in 1978.
The treatment consisted of open tenotomy, immobilization in plaster brace to maintain the overcorrected position for 3 to 4 weeks and physical therapy etc.
The following conclusion was drawn.
1) Facial asymmetry was improved satisfactorily when the operation was done before 2 years of age.
2) Correlation between improvement of facial asymmetry and that of rotatory motion of the neck was suspected.
3) In majority of cases the contour of the sternocleidomastoid muscle of the operated side located more laterally than that of the contralateral side.
4) The scar of the skin incision had tendency to move upward. Therefore, we think it had better to make the incision at the inferior margin of the clavicle.
5) Cause of the residural wry neck was mainly incomplete resection of the muscles.

54 patients of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita were treated at orthopedic department of Kyushu university for past 52 years. Among these patients, 14 patients with club foot deformity were analysed in this series.
Most foot deformities required the limitted surgical release of the soft tissues following conservative treatment and many of the resistant ones also needed expansive arthrodesis within 20 years old.
According to these results, we got a conclusion as follows, the club foot in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita should be treated by corrective cast for the first 4 months after birth, subsequently by either posterior release or posteromedial release. Braces or splints should be applied in order to prevent recurrence after those surgical procedures. But, in spite of our effort by the early treatment, gradual recurrence of the corrected foot is inevitable. Therefore, in order to get a lasting plantigrade foot, Evans procedure with posterior release at 4 years old is recommended against the recurrent deformities.

The purpose of this study is to make clear the talar deformities of treated club feet, using the tomography of the talus.
34 feet in 25 patients with treated club feet were investigated.
The age at follow-up varied from 7 years to 27 years.
The medial deviation of the talar neck, which had been showed by dissecting fetal specimens of club feet, were decreased in treated club feet.
This change of the medial deviation suggests to remodel the neck deformities of the talus.
Deformities of the talar head could be classified into four types. The type 3 and 4 were seemed to be secondary dysplasia of the talar head by forced correction of the fore-foot deformity.
In order to avoid squashing the delicate tarsal bone, corrections for club feet should be very gradually and gently.

On examination, there was diffuse tenderness over the common extensor muscles of the joint level.
Snapping was noticed on flexion and extension movements.
Conservative treatment failed to relieve the symptomes. Then, the right elbow was operated because of it's severity.
Inspection showed it as follows. On extending, the annular ligament was seen to slip over the anterior margin of the radial head with a snap so as to lie the radiohumeral joint.
Sequent flexion of the elbow resulted in a snap as the annular ligament slipped into the right position.
The annular ligament was moved distaly and tightened as not to slip out from the radial head.

39 patients, 44 wrists were studied. 35 patients of those were treated with conservative treatment consisted in rest or local injection of steroid; while only 4 patients were treated surgically. The results of conservative treatment were probably satisfactory, because 35 of 40 patients (88%) showed excellent or good results. Especially an almost complete cure was observed in all patients (100%) who were treated more than 6 months previously. Besides there was tendency that the result was better as observation period was longer. So it is unnecessary to carry out operation early, and it is wise that the choice of treatment of the disease is decided case by case taking account of the social circumference of the patients.

We evaluated the results in the treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome in the total of eleven patients. The causes of this disorder were idiopathic in four cases, cervical spondylotic in five and of herpes zoster in two. The treatments were composed of physical therapies, medication of griseofulvine (375 to 500mg per day), stellate ganglion block and continual epidural block in the cervical spine. The continual epidural block was most effective among them. For the better result in this treatment, early diagnosis, elimination of the cause and early therapy seemed to be very important.

The purpose of this paper is to compare with the stability of the experimental fractures of the trochanteric which were fixed with Y-screws, Mclaughlin's nail-plate, Jewett's nail-plate, A-O condyle plate, and Judet's condyle plate.
The models of experimental fracture were artificially produced in the dry bone and rypoxy model of the femur. The degree of the stability of these experimental model was measured with Simazu autograpy.
The model which was fixed with Judet condyle plate was the strongest in result.
We thought that its reason might be due to the screw which was inserted from grater trochanteric.
