Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, known as Marie-Bamberger's Disease, is characterized by bone and joint changes and clubbing of the fingers and toes. It is well known to occur after longstanding disease of the thorax and intestines. The authors have tried to find patients with hypertrophic osteo-arthropathy in cases with pure silicosis and silscosis complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis. but failed. Recently, the authors discovered 3 cases of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy among some patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. All had had a long history of pulmonary tuberculosis, at least over 1 year duration.

The authors did clinical analysis of 34 cases of suppurative athritis of hip for period of three years from Jan. 1973 to Jan. 1976 at Dept. of Orthopedics, Catholic Medical Center. Through this study following results were obtained. 1. Most of the patients were under the age of 6 years including twenty-six males and eight females. 2. Lag period to treatment in 10 cases was within 3 days, 14 cases within a week: most of these series were treated within a week. 3. Frequent clinical symptom and signs were pain on hip 34 cases, fever 30 cases, limited motion of hip 24 cases and flexion contracture 8 cases. 4. Causative micro-organism was isolated in the cases of diseased hip: Staphylococcus aureus in. 24 cases, β-hemolytic streptococcus in 8, pneumococcus 1, and Gram positive bacillus 1 cases. 5. The laboratory findings included leucocytosis over 15,000 per mm in 31 cases, increased erythrocyte-sedimentation rate 15mm per hour in 33 cases. All the cases were leucocytosis with increased ESR but. 5 were only increased ESR. 6. In authors experience early incision and drainage with specific antibiotics were a choice of treatment in the acute supprative arthritis of hip 7. Result become progressibly less satisfactory in proportion in the length of time after onset at which treatment is started. a) When sufficient time has elapsed for adhesion to develop the pocket to the head thus can not be drained properly by the active movements. Indeed, it is possible, that may be actually harmful in promoting absorption from such pocket. b) In case of long standing erosion of cartilage with denuded bone areas hinder or prevent efficient active movements. c) In case of long duration, blood stream infection is an ever present danger, as well as a aggrevation of existing organic disease by the infective process.

Supracondylar fracture is the most frequent injury of the elbow and frequently accompanies complications in children. Seventy two cases of supracondylar fractures have been treated and managed at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Catholic Medical College during the period from Jan. 1969 to Dec. 1972. The evaluation of fracture was done according to the classification of Holmberg and Hoyer. Among 72 cases of the supracondylar fracture, the most common type is 29 cases of Grade 2: (40.2%). Most cases were treated conservatively, and various method of treatment were adopted according to the condition of fracture. Residual angular deformities after successful manipulative reductiion can be accurately evaluated roentgenographically by the Baumanns method. Good results were obtained in 62.6%, fair results in 33.3%, and poor results in 4.1%. The incidence of cubitus varus deformity is 37.5%. There were no instance of ischemic contracture and no permanent neurological deficit in fracture cases.

Three cases of Dupuytrens contracture which developed in hands were reported along with review of literatures. Partial fasciectomy was done as the choice of treatment for them to improve impairment of function of the hands. No attributable causes for the developement of the disease were found.

The authors did a clincal analysis of 95 cases of the osteomyelitis. Among them 72 were hematogenous in origin: 12 were secondary to open fracture: 6 were direct extension from adjascent soft tissue infection: 5 were complicated after open reduction of fracture, who were treated at Dept. of Orthopedics of Catholic Medical College for past 3 years from 1968 to 1971. Through this study following result were obtained: 1. Most of the patient were under age of 16 Years, In acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, over 80% of patient were under age of 12 years. Males were more frequently affected than females. 2. Generally, femur, tibia and humerus were most frequently affected than the others. In acute osteomyelitis, distal femur and proximal tibia were the most frequent site of involvement. 3. In acute osteomyelitis, early decompression, like drilling or fenestration operation gave more satisfactory result than the simple soft tissue drainage. Immediate surgical intervention with massive antibiotics administration is stressed without hesitation when diagnosis is made. The group treated within a week after onset gave relatively good result in this series. 4. Primary closure of the wound in acute osteomoelitis were considered not to be the good method which is usually adopted as procedure in the chronic type. 5. In the chronic osteomyelitis, continuous tube irrigation after saucerization was adopted when the bony defect is large. Primary closure of the wound were adopted in the case when surgical defect is small in size less than 4cm in diameter. 6. Treatment of the osteomyelitis complicated after open reduction of the fracture were generally treated with focal curettage and removal of fixative device when clinical union is evident, also fixative devices were out even in the group which were not united clinically but redisplacement is expected not to take place. In this group external support was given until fracture healing. Bony window was also made for drainage when cavitary change develped around the tip of nail.

The authors did clinical analysis for 37 cases, ranging from 5 to 13 year old of age and following result obtained. 1. In group I partial involved type had brightful prognosis even in the neglected the cases. 2. Ischeal brace did not give any help to group II & III but in group I, it gave some help to the prognosis. 3. In untreated cases of old age group developed early arthritic changes. 4. The inital radiological bony changes in early L-C-P. cases was the demineralization of the subchondral area and subsequently subohondral vaccum phenomena followed.
