[Results of tibial valgus osteotomy for internal femoro-tibial arthritis with an average 8-year follow-up].

One hundred and eighteen knees treated by valgus osteotomy for medial femorotibial osteoarthritis were reviewed with an average follow-up of 8 years (2-23 years). Seventy-four percent of the results were good and excellent after 5 years, 64% at 10 years and 61% after 10 years. The best results were observed in patients younger than 60 years, with femorotibial osteoarthritis not exceeding grade II of Ahlback's classification, and moderate femoropatellar osteoarthritis. The optimal final valgus observed was between 3 and 10 degrees. Four knees have been reoperated by arthroplasty.

[Dupuytren's disease. Review of 326 surgically treated patients].

The COC (Orthopedic Society of Charleroi) has presented an analysis of operated cases. We have taken 326 files into account. The pre-operative evaluation is based upon the classification by Tubiana, Michon and Thomine. The analysis pays special attention to the post-operative results in terms of several factors: the age, the stage of illness, the extent of illness and the improvement. For this final summing up, we put forward criteria which for us are better in the evaluation of the final result.

[Semilunar disease].

In a multicenter study involving the five Orthopaedic Services of the COC, 57 patients with Kienböck's disease were reviewed 90% were treated surgically. The most common operations were ulna lengthening (30 cases) and lunate resection (11 cases). The most frequent indications or surgery were pain and stiffness of the wrist. Radiological changes are classified according to Decoulx. For evaluating post-operative radiological changes, however, the authors use different criteria ulna lengthening and lunate resection improved pain and mobility in 75% of cases. This study shows that lunate resection is a valid operation in the treatment of Kienböck's disease.
