RESUMO
Aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon tumor-like lesion of the bone containing distended vascular channels or cvities filled with blood. These cases, twenty-nine old female, eighteen years old male and female patients complained of pain and swelling in Rt. Medial aspect of proximal foot, Lt. proximal tibial portion and Rt. entire talar aspect of foot, respectively. Roentgenograms showed ballooned-out distensions and eccentric buldging of those lesions and soapbubble like multiple radiolucent cystic changes within interiors of the bones at talar neck, Proximal tibia and entire talus. Those cases were treated with radical curettage and autogenous iliac bone grafts and snugly fitted long leg casts in functional positions, respectively. On 2nd postoperative day, Cast windows were made and daily sterile dressings were carried out until complete wound healing. Pathological Examinations grossly and Microscopically revealed typical Aneruysmal bone cysts in all 3 cases. All-Patients had good therapeutic recovery within about seven weeks post-operatively.

Harrington Instrumentation and Spinal Fusion to treat the unstable fracture and fracture-dislocation of the thoraco-Iumbar spine is a very effective method. This method not only decompresses the spinal cord and nerve roots by anatomical reduction and preserves spinal stability, but also makes possible early rehabilitation and prevention of complications. A clinical study was made of twelve patients who were hospitalized and treated at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Chung-Nam National University Hospital from Oct. 1978 to J une 1980. The following results were obtained: 1. Of twelve patients, five(42%) had a flexion-compression fracture, four(33.3%) had a shear fracture-dislocation, two(16.7%) had a flexion-rotational fracture, and one(8.3%) had a bursting fracture. 2. Seven(58%) had a complete neural deficit and five (42%) had an Incomplete neural deficit. Two (28%) of the seven patients with complete neural deficit showed slight neurological recovery, but two patients(40%) with incomplete neural deficit gained complete recovery. 3. Correction of the kyphotic deformity was 16 degrees on the average, and the displacement was completely corrected in five of the six patients. 4. During the follow-up period, there was a final loss of about five degrees (range 3-16 degree) of kyphotic correction In our patients and there was no difference in loas of correction between laminectomy group and control group. 5. After an average of 18 postoperative days, ambulation was started, and acute hospital days were 77 days on the average. 6. There was no difference in spinal fusion rate between brace-wearing group (4 cases) and cast Immobilized group (8 cases). 7. Two cases (16.6%) of the twelve cases showed spontaneous interbody fusion.

Recently, the rates of various traffic accidents and industrial injuries accordlng to industrial progression were increased very much. In those injuries, open tibial shaft fractures were one of the most common ones of all long bones of the body. The authors have reviewed and analyzed 30 cases of the open tibial shaft fractures which were treated by pin and plaster method at our hospital from April 1976 to August 1979. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the fractures occurred in 20 and 30 age levels, average age was 34.4. Male 5 > female 1 in accident frequency. 2. The causes were traffic accident (67%), direct blow (17%), falling down from a height (13%), and mechanical trauma (3%) in order. 3. In location of fractures, Lt. 16 > Rt. 11 > both. 3; lower (47%), middle (33%), upper (20%), one thirds and comminuted (60%) > transvers (20%) > oblique (13%) > spiral (4%) > segmental fractures in frequency. 4. The associated injuries were fractures of fibulas (67%) > multiple skin damages (40%) > knee joint patella injuries... etc. Total of those injuries were 68.; One patient gained 2.26 kinds of those injuries simultaneously. 5. By classification of Ellis, minor severity (33%) > moderate one (40%) > major one fractures (27%). And according to results of pin and plaster treatment, bony union took roughly 11, 15, above 23 weeks respectively. 6. The summed contaminatlon and infection rate was below 20%, and cultured bacterias were E. Coli (50%) > staphylocci (33%) > pseudomonas (17%) and susceptabilities to penicillin were 60, 90, 25% respectively. 7. By classification of time interval from injury to apply pin and plaster method, early applied group (17 cases) showed bony union rate (7.6.4%), delayed one (11.7%), nonunion (5.8%), late group showed 50, 12.5, 6.3%, far late group showed 40, 40, 20% respectively. 8. Duration of the cast immobilization was 4–7 weeks and then it was changed by P. T. B. cast until about 4 monthes from injury, after it, vigorous P. T. was carried out. Good results were come in 80% (24 cases). 9. Pin and plaster method will be indicated in minor & moderate severity-fractures, but in major ones, it will be used as a preliminary stage operation.
