Traumatic hip dislocation in childhood is rare. Factors predisposing to abnormal results are delayed reduction and severe trauma. We experienced 8 year-old girl with traumatic posterior hip dislocation and treated with immediate closed reduction. At 30 months follow-up, our patient had good functional and good roentgenographic result with no posttraumatic arthritis or posttraumatic avascular necrosis. So we report this case with review of literature.
After distal radius fracture, delayed rupture of extensor pollicis longus is rare. It is known that delayed rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon result from undisplaced distal radius fracture. We have experienced a case of rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon after undisplaced distal radius fracture, and treated with palmaris longus tendon graft. the result were satisfactory without complications.

The comminuted iniercondyiar fractvre of the distal humeruf is rather uncommon injury. Because of anatomic complexity of the distal humerus, any incongrousness makes loss of function of the elbow joint. Hence, for the complete restoration of the articular surface and joint nlotion, wide exposure is necessary, while stable internal fixation and early post operative exercise should be conducted. With the frefuency of comminution and displacement, this intraarticular fracture is difficult to treat. But the fabrication of new implants and development of surgical approach method has increased the reliability of operative stabilization. The authors compared 36 patients of distal humeral fracture treated with transolecranon approach and Campbells posterior approach at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. College of Medicine, Soonchunhyang University from Dec. 1991 to Oct. 1994 and following results were obtained.
In transolecranon approach, the operation time was slightly longer with technical difficulties. However, we had excellent exposure of posterior aspect of lower end of the humerus and had a good range of motion, especially in flexion contracture compared with posterior approach. Also, we hardly observed complications of fracture of the olecranon in transolecranon approach.
