[Fibrous dysplasia in children].

The authors report a series of 19 children (ten boys and nine girls) presenting fibrous dysplasia with an average follow-up of 7 years 10 months. Twenty five bones were involved. The average age at diagnosis was 9 years (range 3 years to 14 years). Fatigue fractures and pains were the main reasons for consultation. The most frequent anatomic sites were the femur, the tibia and the humerus. In six cases it was decided to simply watch the children without any treatment. The clinical results were good for 18 children. In two cases the initial radiological lytic aspect remained at the longest follow-up. Nine complications (among which two iterative fractures and three recurrences) occurred. None of the cases developed malignant transformation. The authors discuss the different possibilities of treatment with a review of the literature.

[Aneurysmal cyst of the bones in children].

The authors have analysed a series of aneurysmal bone cysts (A.B.C.) in children and adolescents which were reviewed at an average follow-up of 4 years 2 months (6 months-15 years). The average age at diagnosis was 8 years (3-19 years). Pathological fractures were the main reason for consultation, probably due to the predominance of central lesions. If conventional radiology remains indispensable to diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging is nevertheless the most important examination in determining the extent of the affection. The diagnosis remains anatomopathological, even if this may be difficult due to associated lesions (A.B.C. illness and A.B.C. symptoms). In long bones lesions, we observed recurrence after curettage in 3 out of 7 cases. For this reason the recommend simple resection or reconstructive resection rather than curettage whenever possible. 5 lesions in contact with growth plate were observed. In such cases we recommend its conservation by careful curettage, especially in young children. We feel that subsequent recurrence is easier to treat than an epiphysiodesis bridge. The surgical techniques employed to conserve the plate are described along with methods of bone reconstruction after surgery.

[Closed spinal dysraphism].

This retrospective review included 133 patients with one or several of the following defects: diastematomyelia, neurenteric cyst, dermal sinus or cyst, meningeal malformation, sacral agenesis, tethering of the spinal cord, and lumbosacral lipoma. Physical evaluation readily identified most lumbosacral lipomas, as well as most cases of diastematomyelia since hypertrichosis over the defect was common. Some patients developed life-threatening clinical manifestations, e.g., meningitis due to a dermal sinus. On the basis of this retrospective review and a review of the literature, the clinical and therapeutic aspects of each defect are discussed.

[Sequelae of osteoarthritis of the hip in growing children. Apropos of 72 cases].

The authors reviewed a series of 72 hips in 60 children with sequelae of septic arthritis of the hip to evaluate the long term evolution. The average follow up was 7 years 8 months (Range 1Y-17Y). 40 hips were operated and 32 were not. The results were analysed according to clinical and radiological criterions in an attempt to propose a guide for treatment. Sequelae might also occur after both initial treatment with open drainage or aspiration. The study of sequelae according to the factors of severity (organism, age when infected) showed that the evolution of these cases of arthritis cannot be forecast. The authors noticed that very severe roentgenographic lesions could be well tolerated clinically, at least on a medium term basis. They advise great care before operating on dislocated hips when they are clinically well tolerated. Finally the authors insist on 2 little known lesions: caput valgum and caput antetorsum.

[Hip-shelf procedure in children and adolescents].

Forty-six hips treated by a shelf operation in childhood and adolescence have been reviewed. The mean follow-up was 8 years 1 month (4Y-26Y) after operation. The indications were residual dysplasia of the acetabulum, neurologic hips and sequelae of osteochondritis. All patients were operated after the age of 8.5 years except 2. In poliomyelitis and sequelae of osteochondritis the results were good. In dysplasia we had two bad results in 18 cases (1 painful hip after operation and 1 ankylosing hip) and in cerebral palsy 4 bad results in 13 cases, due to difficulty of maintaining a correct reduction for a long period. After a review of the literature to compare the results of this intervention with pelvic osteotomies we conclude that the shelf procedure is beneficial in childhood and adolescence, due to the quality of acetabular cover, to its improvement in time and to ease of intervention.
