Meniscectomy in children. Evaluation of results after growth has ceased.

The results of 28 total meniscectomies in children were reviewed after the end of the growth period. From a purely clinical point of view these were satisfactory in 26 cases and in the remaining 2 cases the poor results were due to faulty initial diagnosis. From the radiographic survey, 50% of cases showed early signs of degenerative arthritis in the femorotibial joint, but there was no evidence of the patellar syndrome. In meniscal lesions in children, the surgical approach should therefore be as conservative as possible.

Two cases of cuneiform subcapitate osteotomy in the outcome of severe epiphysiolysis of the hip.

The authors describe two cases of subacute epiphysiolysis with severe slipping submitted to corrective subcapitate osteotomy of the femur with an anterior approach. The patients were followed-up after approximately 7 years, and satisfactory results were observed: movement in flexo-extension was preserved with mild limitation of intrarotation. The accuracy of the osteotomy during surgery is emphasized in order to avoid necrosis of the femoral head, and hypercorrection in valgus to avoid shortening.

Lumbosacral monolateral dislocation.

The authors describe a case of traumatic monolateral dislocation of L5 on S1. It is a very rare lesion which involves serious diagnostic and therapeutic problems. Surgical treatment constituted by reduction and stabilization alone can obtain stable correction of the deformity and complete functional recovery.
