- The diagnosis and management of thoracolumbar spine fracture have been progressrd greatly, because CT and MRI increase the apprehension to thoracolumbar fracture.
Middle dolumn was known to be important factor in determining fracture stability, according to "Three column concept by Denis and McAfee." From Jan. 1990 to Jan. 1994 we have managed 63 cases of thoracolumbar compressive fracture and stable burst type thoracolumbar wpine fracture nonoperatively Clinical and radiologic results(kyphotic angle, wedging angle) were evaluated according to fracture pattern.
We obtained the following results; 1. The change of kyphotic angle in stable burst fracture is more severe than compressive fracture.
2. The change of wedging angle in stable burst fracture is more severe than compressive fracture.
3. Clinical results of stable bursting fracture was worse than compressive fracture.
We concBuded that stable bursting thoracolumbar fracture need more aggressive management.

- Fracture of the capitellum is intraarticular fractures that occured rarely about the elbow. It is usually caused by a fall on the outstretched upper extremity with the radial head impacting against the anterior portion of the lateral humeral condyle. We reviewed 4 patients with capitellum fracture of the humerus treated by open reduction and internal fixation from Aug. 1990 to Mar 1993. The isolated capitellum fractures were in 2 cases, associated radial head fracture in 1 rase, associated humeral lateral condyle fracture in 1 case. The case combined comminuted fracture of the humeral lateral condyle was fair, others were good result.
