Neuropathic ankle joint in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease after triple arthrodesis of the foot.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease results in pes cavus or equinocavovarus deformity. An accepted surgical correction is triple arthrodesis of the foot. In a retrospective study of 45 Charcot-Marie-Tooth patients, two cases developed neuropathic ankle joint after triple arthrodesis. This procedure prevents mobility of the tarsal joint and consequently increases stress on the ankle joint. If coupled with decreased joint sensation, it may predispose the ankle to neuroarthropathy. This paper emphasizes joint position sense as an important consideration before triple arthrodesis or any other surgical procedure.

[Experiences with cryoextraction of the lens from the vitreous body in 123 cases].

In 123 cases of lens luxation the lens was removed from the vitreous by cryoextraction. It was a success in 119 cases, always intracapsular, and in the majority of cases without or only with a minimal loss of vitreous. A vitrectomy or vitreous suction was never necessary. Evaluating these results, one would advise to employ this procedure early before an advanced vitreous destruction may occur.

[Cryogenic therapy device for use in gynecology].

A device and its required furnishings for cryosurgery is demonstrated; during 3 years of clinical use, it has proved its worth when attending to benign and malignant diseases of vulva, vagina, and cervix. On the base of open processes, liquid nitrogen serves as cooling agent. Both "spray" and "contact-freezing" may be applied after a short starting period of the device under temperature control. In order to avoid freezings of the tunica vaginalis, tubes of Teflon and Polyurethane foam have been tested successfully.
