[Subperiosteal (juxtacortical) chondroma of the hand. Apropos of 4 cases].

The subperiosteal type of chondroma of hand is reputedly rare. Four such cases are reported two in adolescents, one in a child and one in an adult. The chondroma being localized to the phalanges, its most frequent development site. In one patient multiple chondromata were present. The relevant literature and typical characters of these subperiosteal chondromata are reviewed. Radiological images show clearly outlined tumors due to peripheral calcification. Treatment is surgical by block excision through healthy bone, this avoiding recurrence.

[Chiari's pelvic osteotomy in adults. 35 cases (author's transl)].

Between 1968 and 1978 the authors have performed 35 Chiari's pelvic osteotomies in adults ; 25 cases reviewed after a more than one year follow-up. The operation is a relatively major one, and complications are not uncommon. Carried out in adults for sequelae of hip dislocation in childhood, with or without arthrosis, it relieves pain remarkably well and improves walking distances but has little effect on hip mobility. Pelvic osteotomy may also give satisfactory results in some advanced forms of arthrosis, provided hip mobility remains sufficient (70 degrees flexion or more).

[Ambulatory treatment of congenital dislocation using a harness to maintain the hip in hyperflexion (author's transl)].

Eighteen children aged between zero and seven months have been treated by a method using Scott's harness to maintain the hips in hyperflexion. Twenty one hips were subluxated. In two cases, the method was inadequate and the hips had to be treated by progressive traction. In one case osteochondritis developed. In other cases the treatment was successful. The technical details of this technique are given.

The Lefevre ulnar nail.

The Lefevre nail applies the principles of locked intramedullary nailing in the treatment of fractures of the ulna. It is made up of two segments which slide telescopically, so that assembly may be in compression, distraction or neutral. Fixation at the two ends of the ulna is guaranteed by two transverse screws. It may be used in pseudarthrosis and osteotomies for lengthening and shortening, as well as in simple or complex fractures. The cases presented provide an overview of the use of the nail at the Brest Center, where the nail was invented and developed, and at the Rizzoli Institute. The study includes 22 fractures, 1 pseudarthrosis and 1 osteotomy. Consolidation was obtained in all of the cases after an average of 2.5 months. Immobilization in plaster was required only in cases with associated lesion of radius. The functional results obtained were satisfactory.

[Latarjet's operation in recurrent antero-internal luxation of the shoulder].

Latarjet's operations as single therapy was performed in 52 patients admitted since 1976 with recurrent antero-internal dislocation of shoulder. There were no recurrences but three patients (6%) complained of residual instability. Effectiveness of results depends on use of a perfect technique : the bony ridge playing both an active and passive role should be level with the antero-internal border of the glenoid.
