    A review of fracture cases treated with the K-U compression plates we have developed revealed treatment problems occurred in several.
    Most important problems involved the basic technique of compression plate fracture treatment, i. e., the method of plate and screw use, appropriate management of a large bony defect, interpretation of X-rays and overestimation of plate or screw strength. Closer attention to basic technique in management of fractures and refinement of technical skills employed by surgeons will result in better clinical success using this form of therapy.

    A 8-year-old boy suffering from a pathologic fracture of his right humeral shaft, visited to our clinic on 15 MAY, 1980. His clinical diagnosis was suspected as a Ewing's Sarcoma and he had to get open biopsy which showed Ewing's Sarcoma histologically. As an amputation surgery was refused, immediately Adriamycin was given and radiation therapy was started.
    On 3 months after these initial therapies, X-ray findings showed sclerotic changes. However, 1 year after the biopsy, a radiolucent area on the right humerus which was made by the biopsy was bigan to enlarge with secondary pathologic fracture. And so, recurrence of the tumor was suspected firmly. Disarticulation of the right glenohumeral joint was done. However, histological study showed no recurrence.
    After disarticulation IFN-β was given intravenously since July, 1981 to 113, 000, 000 I. U totally on MAY, 1982. The side effect of IFN-β was high fever which was disappeared by medication.
    2 yeas after the biopsy, he is living in high spirit without any metastases.

    Long term roentogenographic review of 26 patients with 34 hips involved with Perthes-like change after treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip was made. Early roentogenographic findings in the femoral head with Perthes-like change were too variable to classify clearly. Deformites of the proximal femur of these patients after growth were flattening of the femoral head and shortening of the femoral neck in variable degree. The resultant deformities of the proximal femur varies with amount of the epipysis involved. The results suggested that the cause of Perthes-like change was intra chondroepiphyseal vascular disturbance due to increased pressure of the femoral head caused by forced frog leg position at the time of treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip.

    When Chiari osteotomy in coxarthrosis with severe acetabular dysplasia were considered ineffective, bone grafting to osteotomy site after medial displacement osteotomy was effective procedure.
    This procedure was performed in the four cases. Three cases of them had satisfactory results, but one poor because of severe contracture of the hip joint.
    In the coxarthrosis with severe acetabular dysplasia in which acetabular head quotient was less than 50 and CE angle negative, Chiari osteotomy with bone grafting was seemed to be one of the effective procedures.

    Immobilization of the hind limb in a straight leg cast produced hip dysplasia of varying degrees in the growing puppy. Only slight degenerative changes were found in the hip with subluxation. No progression of degenerative changes was noted in one year follow-up. Completely dislocated hips showed characteristic deformity of the femoral head and severe acetabular dysplasia. Significant cartilage degeneration was noted which appeared to have progressed with duration of the dislocation. Characteristic changes were severe reduction of Safranin-O staining, fibrocartilaginous proliferation (pannus formation) and hypocellularity.

    A 31-year-old woman with bilateral dislocation of the head of the radius was reported.
    She was seen with complaints of righ elbow pain and limitation of forearm pronation for one month ago. Her disability of the elbow occured after holding her child in her chest for thirty minutes, and there were no symptome before that episode. Roentogenogram showed bilateral dislocation of the radial head. Since there was no history, dislocation was th to be congenital. Dissection of fibrous band that impinged the radial head and resection of radial head resolved her complaints and she regained free motion of forearm without pain.

    Fractures of the upper end of the humerus are common and account for 4 to 5 per cent of all fractures.
    Fourty-seven cases of this fracures were treated in our clinic for the last seven years.
    According to the concept of the Four-Segment classification (Neer's classification), the patients were classified into Minimal displacement (66%), Two-part displacement (22%), Three-part displacement (6%) and Four-part displacement (6%).
    Relationship between the results of treatments and type of Neer's classification were analyzed in this study.

    The domed osteotomy has been successively performed for 4 cases with the varus deformity of the elbow joint in children, which was caused by the transcondylar or supracodylar fractures of the humerus.
    The advantages of the new technique of the domed osteotomy against the varus deformity are as follows:
    1. The correction in open operation is possible for the varus deformity, flexion disturbance and displacement of the internal or external rotation of the fracture region.
    2. the correction of the radial prominence out of the humerus is able to perform by the displacement of the distal portion.
    3. The extreme varus deformity is also able to correct, which is difficult in operated by usual wedge osteotomy.
    4. By the wider cotact of cutting region as other methods, the bone union is more expected.
    However, we understand that the method has some disadvantages such as the complicated operation technique, and possibilities of happend trouble of the ulnar nerve palsy by the increased tension of the ulnar nerve. But we prevent it by the ulnar nerve release, or shortning of the humerus.

    Replantations of 133 completely amputated fingers in 87 patients performed from June, 1972 to December, 1980 were studied. Ninety three digits survived (70%) and forty failed (30%). Survival correlated most closely to the mechanism of injury and there was a definite relationship between the number of arteries repaired and survival rate. The group of two arteries repaired had a greater potential for survival (82.6%), compaired with one artery repaired (67.3%).
    We tried to evaluate the cause of failures in the forty replantations that were unsuccessful and found that the majority of failures were secondaly to vascular thrombosis (72.5%). Other causes of failure were venous insufficiency (20%) and failure to vascularize (7.5%). The majority of thromboses were on the arterial side. The possibility of such factors causing loss of the digit is reduced by increasing the number of vessels repaired. In most digits, threfore, two arteries and at least two or three veins should be repaired routinly.

    We reviewed 6 cases (6 fingers) of amputation through distal phalanx or DIPJ, so called zone I and II, of the children.
    3 cases of them were successful and the other 3 cases were failed.
    In all but one only digital artery could be anastomosed. It is common there was no veins that could be anastomosed at this level of amputation.
    It is the most important problem how to avoid or decrease the venous congestion in these cases.
    In successful 2 cases fish mouth incision was made at the end of the fingers.
    While in failed 3 cases only milking was added.
    We stressed that only arterial anastomosis and fish mouth incision could lead to success of replantation of the amputation through Zone I or II.

    Tumortal calcinosis is a rare disease, named by Incran in 1943, that was characterized by periarticular calcification and hyperphosphatemia.
    We have recently seen a patient with this disorder and treated with surgical procedure, thyrocalcitonin and 1α-hydroxycholecalciferol.
    In January, 1977 a three-year-old girl admitted to our clinic with painful masses in the both feet. The level of serum calcium was 10.0mg/dl and that of phosphorus was elevated to 6.2mg/dl. The masses were surgically removed but they recurred seven months later. In September, 1979 painful mass was found adjacent to the right knee. Regrowth of the masses in 1977-1981 interval necessitated five moresurgical procedures in the region of the right knee and both feet. The patient was treated with thyrocalcitonin and 1α-hydroxycholecaciferol with no clinical improvement during four months in 1981. Medication of phosphorous deprivation have been attempted.

    We reviewed a case, who was 42 year-old male, of neurofibrosarcoma, occurred primarily at the calcaneal region, with a metastasis to the left inguinal lymph node two years later after amputation below the knee, because of twice recurrences followed twice extirpations.
    We had diagnosed the primary tumor as neurofibrosarcoma, because the amputated tumor consisted of, histologically, spindle shaped cells with cart wheel pattern.
    Two years later after amputation, the left inguinal lymph node had been palpable with a tendency of slow growth. Its size had been measured 9×9×11cm 9 years later after amputation.
    We perfomed the extirpation of the left inguinal tumor. Microscopically, the extirpated tumor consisted of the above described cells with more pleomorphism and atypism. In silver stain, cart wheel pattern, as above described, was seen partially, and at the other part fine reticulin fibers waved and paralleled.
    It was concluded that it was the metastatic tumor to the inguinal lymph node from the primary lesion.

    Recently we have experienced two cases of rhabdomyosarcoma.
    The first case was a 20-year-old female student whose left forearm was affected by a tumor of the brachioradial muscle.
    The second case was a 46-year-old male teacher whose left chest wall was suffered from a tumor of the intercostal muscles.
    These two tumors were proved to be an alveolar rhobdmyosarcoma by histological study. After resection of the tumor, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were carried out.
    The first case is fine neither reccurrance nor metastasis for more than one year. The second case was dead because of local reccurrance and metastasis to the lung after nine months.

    When rats were injected intradermally with an oil emulsion of native type II collagen, approximately 40%, of them developed an imflammatory polharthritis.
    SD rats developed polyarthritis with high incidence, approximately 90%, after injection of
    1) high dose of bovine type II collagen or
    2) bovine type II collagen containing the synthetic adjuvant MDP (muramyl dipeptide).
    Whereas the usual dose of collagen alone produced polyarthritis with low incidence, approximately 50%, and MDP alone was non-arthritogenic.

    Regional spinal cord blood flow (S. C. B. F.) was determined in rabbits by hydrogen clearance method. During the measurements, systemic arterial blood pressure and Paco2 were maintained within the nomal limit. After laminectomy at the thoracic region, a platinum electrode, 100μm in diamiter, was inserted from 1mm to 2mm deep into the spinal cord.
    The mean value of S. C. B. F. was 30.2±1.3ml/100gm/min in the gray matter and 15.6±0.5 in the white matter respectively.
    There were no remarkable changes in S. C. B. F. while the blood pressure was maintained in the range of 60 to 130mmHg. The value of S. C. B. F., however, showed changes above 130mmHg or below 60mmHg.
    S. C. B. F. was affected remarkably by the change of Paco2, showing a linear increase with the increase of Paco2.

    Partial tissue oxygen pressure in the spinal cord was measured in the rabbits by polarographical method. The study was done in the thoracic cord after laminectomy of T6, T7 and T8 with a small size of needle electrodes being inserted. The average PO2 showed 11.9±0.9mmHg in the white matter and 26.7±3.3mmHg in the gray matter. The blood pressure was maintained within the normal range, 80-120mmHg during the determination. Then the blood pressure was made changed by venous administration of noraderenaline and trimetaphane. The PO2 showed to increase or decrease parallel in proportion to that of blood pressure. In addition, PO2 in the spinal cord showed a rapid increase when pure oxygen gas was inspired through intubation.

    The effects of high doses of EHDP on the local Pb-acetate induced calcergy were studied in young female rats.
    A plaque of hydroxyapatite crystals was produced by local subctaneous injection of a lead acetate dilution. Reactions at injection site of dilution were evaluated by the mean diameter and the dry weight of the calcified wheals.
    At high doses of EHDP (above 20mg/kg/day), the hydroxyapatite crystal deposition were inhibited significantly.

    The effects of high doses of EHDP on the healing process of non-immobilized fractures in young female rats tibia were observed roentogenographically and histologically.
    EHDP (60mg/kg/day for 7 days) failed to affect the formation of the fibrocartilagenous and bony callus, but strongly inhibited the mineralization and calcification of the callus at two weeks after fracture.
    At 4-6 weeks after fracture, resorption of the dead bone and remodelling of the callus were also inhibited and fracture callus seemed to be osteoporotic roentogenographically in EHDP-treated rats.

    The effects of concomitant administration of [Asu1, 7]-eel calcitonin (ECT) to rats treated with EHDP on the healing process of non-immobilized fractures in young female rats tibia were studied.
    Concomitant, but separate, injeetons of various doses of ECT (10, 20, or 40unit/kg/day) with EHDP (60mg/kg/day) resulted in a promotion of mineralization and calcification of newly formed bone and cartilage of the callus in comparison to rats treated with EHDP alone at 14 days after fracture.

    The rate of blood flow of full-thickness iliac bone grafts over a 2-month-interval was studied in 32 adult white rabbits, using the hydrogen washout technique.
    Our results were as follows.
    1. Two weeks after transplantation, blood flow was observed in each type of grafts, but its rate in autografts were significantly higher than that in allografts.
    2. Blood flow of autografts proceeded rapidly for 4 weeks and peaked at 4 weeks, followed by a slow decline.
    3. Blood flow of allografts did not show an initial rise and remained significantly lower than that of autografts for 4 weeks.
    4. The hydrogen washout technique was found to be useful for long term and repetitive determinations of the rate of bone blood flow, such as this experiment in bone grafts.

    A case of 45-year-old female complaining of both shoulders, both hips and low back pain with gait disturbance, was reported.
    On the X-ray examination, typical osteomalacic bone changes with Looser's zones were seen. On the biochemical examination, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, hyperchloremia and metabobic acidosis were found. Furtheremore sero-immunologically γ-globulin was increased moderately, and RA test was positive. From the findings of renal function test and NH4Cl loading test, this case was diagnosed as Type 1 (secondary) renal tubular acidosis.
    Acidosis was corrected with Shohl's solution and depletion of kalium was supplemented with potassium gluconate. Coxa vara deformities were corrected by intertrochanteric valgus osteotomies, and now patient became ambulant without crutches.

    It has been postulated that anticonvulsant drugs affect calcium and bone metabolism. We measured bone mineral status by direct photon absorptiometry, microdensitometry and blood biochemical examination in institutionalized mentally or physically disturbed 56 child subjects.
    Low MCI and BMC levels were observed in 24 of 56 patients. Of 56 patients, low Ca, P, high ALP and low 25-(OH)D3 levels were observed in 19%, 26%, 14% and 20% (in 2 of 10 patients), respectively. But the levels of active metabolite of Vitamin D, i. e. 1, 25-(OH)2D3, were normal or high.
    We investigated the relationship between the bone mineral status and the dose or duration of anticonvulsant drugs. And it was suggested that bone mass was affected by dose of administration rather than duration.

    Three cases of vitamin D resistant rickets were reported. All cases showed normal serum Ca level, low serum P level and greatly increased alkaline phosphatase activity, X-ray examination revealed the characteristic cupped and irregular metaphysis of the the wrist. These cases were treated with large doses of Alfarol (1α-OH-D3).
    Serum alkaline phosphatase was depressed by the treatment while serum Ca and P were not elevated. The bone changes were disappeared by the treatment in all cases. The leg deformity was markedly improved after 2-3 years treatment but one month interruption of the treatment was followed by a relaps of the bone changes and increased leg deformity. It was suspected that the serum Mg level has to be examined when a large doses of 1α-OH-D3 is given.

    we have already reported that EHDP inhibited the calcification of growth cartilage, which got thicker.
    Now we give rats EHDP enough to stop the calcification of the growth plate, and follow the course of recovery with microangiography.
    60mg/kg of EHDP were given subcutaneously everyday for a week. Soon after the last administration of EHDP, the growth plate got thicker and the vascularity of metaphyseal vessels decreased. 2 weeks after the dose, capillary buds grew into the plate aborescently and got calcified. After 4 weeks the capillary developed into more functional metaphyseal vessels, and there was already new primary cancellous bone.

    Case 1: A seven year old proband girl experienced frequent pathologic fractures of her legs. An examination revealed that she was of short stature and had blue sclerae, varus deformities of the thighs, and a thin cortex and sparse trabeculation of cancellous bones. However, dentinogenesis imperfecta, otosclerosis, and arthrochalasis were not noted.
    Case 2: The thirty-nine year old father of the proband also had a history of very frequent pathologic fractures of his legs. An examination revealed a marked short stature, and deformed legs. However, other concomitant anomalies were not observed.
    A family study revealed no further cases, suggesting a mutant occurrence in Case 2, with a dominant inheritance to Case 1, and the possible future inheritance to the future female offsprings of Case 1.

    Sixteen normal hips in 8 persons and 29 osteoarthritic hips in 19 patients were examined by a computed tomography (CT), calculating CT value of the femoral head and acetabulum. Atrophy of muscles around the hip joints was also measured on CT by planimeter.
    The results obtained were as follows:
    1. The mean CT value of the normal femoral head was 238±8.6 (H. U.) and that of the acetabulum was 199±2.8.
    2. The mean CT value of the osteoarthritic femoral head increased in accordance with degenerative stage, reaching to the maximum value of 351±6.8 at the progressive stage, while it decreased to 285±21.3 at the late stage.
    3. The mean CT value of the acetabulum showed a high score of 285±21.3 already at the early stage and remained stationary.
    4. Atrophy of the gluteus medius muscle was observed at early stage; the gluteus maximus muscle at the progressive stage, and the tensor fasciae latae, gluteus minimus and iliopsoas muscle at the late stage.
