Popliteal pterygium syndrome.
Popliteal pterygium syndrome is rare, with 50 cases described in the literature. Three additional cases are reported. The syndrome includes a popliteal web extending from the ischium to the heel associated with toenail dysplasia, eventual deformities of the foot and toes, and oral cavity abnormalities, such as cleft palate or lip pits. The main orthopedic problem is a severe flexion contracture of the knee and an equinus foot. Surgical treatment consists of resection of the web. A technical problem emerges on liberating or reconstructing the sciatic nerve or its branches, which are sometimes included within the contracted cord.

External fixation for fractures and pedicle flap immobilization: a convenient and inexpensive substitute.
A simple, inexpensive, broadly applicable, and quickly applied substitute for the Hoffman apparatus is demonstrated. The procedure uses materials commonly available in hospital operating rooms and provides an excellent immobilization of transosseous pins in pedicled flap surgery and various open and closed fractures of long bones.

Radical wedge resection for ingrown toenail: long-term results.
This paper describes an operation for ingrown toenail that is simple, has a low recurrence rate, leaves patients with an intact, pain-free, cosmetically acceptable nail-bearing toe, and permits the wearing of normal shoes within a short period of time. Among the numerous techniques devised for the treatment of ingrown toenail, no other operation fulfills all of these criteria. It is usual to sacrifice appearance in the hope of cure. During the last 20 years we have adopted a radical wedge resection that has the advantage of resulting in permanent healing and a good-looking toe. After a first series of 67 cases thus treated without a single recurrence, the technique was used in a further series of 339 cases reported here.

Prevertebral shadow in cervical trauma.
The width of the cervical prevertebral shadow was compared in two groups of patients--24 with definite traumatic lesions and 66 with no history of trauma. A statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups. Measurement of the prevertebral shadow is a good diagnostic procedure, particularly in patients with a doubtful organic traumatic lesion, such as those with a history of whiplash injury.
