The biomechanics of pelvic osteotomy according to the Chiari method.

The authors analyze the biomechanical effectiveness of pelvic osteotomy according to the Chiari method. This type of operation reduces joint loading and increases the joint support surface. The authors examined 18 patients aged an average of 31 years. This series shows that the effectiveness of pelvic osteotomy according to the Chiari method is particularly observed in cases in which joint morphology is best preserved.

[Osteitis condensans ilii: therapy and diagnostic problems. Presentation of a case study].

The authors describe 4 female patients with Osteitis Condensans Ilii (OCI): 3 of them were pluriparous, ranging 32-36 years of age; while the remaining was nulliparous and 20 years old, with a previous trauma suffered in the iliac bone. Due to the inefficacy of the medical and physical treatment, two patients underwent surgical resection of the osteitic bone; then followed by a 45 days cast immobilization and a 3-4 months with restricted load. The other 2 patients were successfully treated with Indomethacin (a 100 mg/day cycle for a month, followed by a maintainance cycle with 300 mg/day for 3 months). The diagnostic aspects are then discussed, pointing out that absence of any peripheric neurologic damage, normal bone scan, female sex and younger age are the relevant characteristics for the diagnosis of OCI.
