[Should Volkmann's great triangle be screwed?].

The accurate reposition of the posterior tibia ridge is a technically exacting undertaking. On the basis of 22 screwed--all done ventrally--and 11 non-screwed Volkmann's triangles which are more than a third of the lateral extension of the distal tibia joint surface can be shown that a screwing in faulty position is worse than non-screwing. Consequently it is better to omit screwing or to do the reposition visually with the corresponding access.

[Kidney cysts in the computerized tomogram--incidence and therapeutic consequences].

In 2000 consecutive abdominal computertomograms it was 788 times possible to receive accurate evaluation of both kidneys. Incidence and shape of renal cysts were identified as well as subsequent urologic evaluation and therapy of these patients, which was done in a surprising small number of cases. The incidence of simple renal cysts is that high (5.6%), that diagnostic exploration of each renal cyst is not possible. This should be done only in those patients where the results of nonsurgical diagnosis is not possible or cannot definitely exclude renal tumor. If operative diagnosis is indicated it can be done without risk for the patient an the kidney, since our own experience show no kidney loss or mortality in 65 consecutive cases. However, the diagnosis renal cyst in those, not surgically explored, should be confirmed by ultrasound with cyst puncture and analysis.

[Computerized tomography measurement of humerus torsion].

The angle of humeral torsion may be determined in living subjects by computerised axial tomography, in conjunction with immobilisation of the arm on a rigid board. Transverse scans of each humerus through the proximal and distal ends were obtained in 28 control subjects. The mean angle of torsion was found to be 62.8 degrees with a range of 40 degrees (minimal value 42 degrees, maximal value 82 degrees). These figures were comparable to results obtained by other authors. The wide spread of the measured values allows the clinical application of the humeral torsions exclusively in relation with the contra-lateral side for preoperative planning.
