Arthroscopic fixation of the fractures of the intercondylar eminence via transquadricipital tendinous portal.

We describe a new technique for arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation of fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia. In this technique cannulated screws are placed through a new portal (transquadricipital tendinous) instead of anteromedial arthroscopic portal. Twelve patients who were treated with this technique for displaced types II and III fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia were reviewed after a mean of 49 months. At follow-up all patients had excellent or good results, without any case of nonunion of the fracture or related complications, such as functional instability. Placement of cannulated screws through transquadricipital tendinous portal achieves fragment reduction easily, provides rigid fixation while avoiding arthrotomy, allowing early mobilization and return to activity.

Repeated mandibular lengthening in Treacher Collins syndrome: a case report.

A patient with mandibular hypoplasia associated with Treacher Collins syndrome was treated by bilateral distraction osteogenesis. Since less than optimal length was provided by the first distraction, a second corticotomy was performed in the newly formed bone 6 months after the first distraction. Thus bone gained by distraction osteogenesis was subjected to distraction once again. New bone formation occurred after the second lengthening. This case illustrated that distraction osteogenesis may be applied to the mandible at the site of previous distraction.

Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma of the thigh in a newborn.

Congenital/infantile fibrosarcoma occurs frequently in the first year of life and differs from fibrosarcoma in adulthood. The clinical course of congenital/infantile fibrosarcoma is more favorable and metastatic spread is rare. While adult fibrosarcomas are common in the thigh, congenital/infantile fibrosarcomas affect chiefly the distal portions of the extremities. Standard treatment is primarily wide surgical excision. Chemotherapy may be given as neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment in order to avoid the morbidity associated with wide excision. In this case report we present our experience of a newborn affected by congenital/infantile fibrosarcoma of the left thigh.

Obstetrical brachial plexus palsy: an analysis of 105 cases.

Obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) remains a dramatic consequence after complicated childbirth. An increasing number of methods are being developed for the physical therapy and the early repair of the nerve lesions in OBPP, including neuroma excision and nerve grafting, neurolysis and neurotization. Secondary deformities of the shoulder, forearm, and hand can be reconstructed using soft tissue and skeletal procedures. In this article we analyze our approach to 105 patients to obtain optimal functional outcome in patients with OBPP.

Arthroscopic partial resection of the discoid meniscus in children.

Thirteen children with 14 lateral discoid menisci were reviewed at an average follow-up of 2.7 years. Their average age at the time of the operation was 12.8 years. Most of the children had vague and intermittent painful symptoms, and the classical "clunk" was demonstrable in nine of the 13 patients in clinical examinations. Thirteen children underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus, by performing partial resection. This procedure, modifying the discoid lateral meniscus to the normal semilunar shape, was indicated only when the capsular attachment was intact. The results were excellent both clinically and radiologically. Furthermore, rehabilitation time was considerably shorter than the time required after open procedures. Arthroscopic discoid meniscus surgery performed by experienced and skilled hands gives better results. According to the literature and our experiences, it is better to perform open techniques in patients with stiff knees. Additionally, it is technically feasible to use small joint instruments in the pediatric age group.
