[Recent ligament lesions of the knee].

In every case knee injury, it is imperative not to miss a possible lesion of the ligaments and, when such a lesion is present, to evaluate its severity. The practitioner who examines the injured knee in an emergency therefore plays a crucial role in taking a definite attitude when faced with lesions. Before any treatment is envisaged the lesion must be precisely diagnosed. This requires a very strict examination based on the patient's history and on clinical tests that are often simple. At the slightest suspicion of severe lesion of the ligaments, a specialist must be called in to complete the investigation, if necessary by testing under general anaesthesia and/or by performing an arthroscopy.

[Role of surgical resection in the treatment of vertebral hemangioma].

Resection (total or subtotal excision of vertebra) of vertebral hemangiomas appears to be the logical course when there are neurological signs. This is a rather complicated surgery with the aim of reduction of recurrence rate. We report two such cases with surgical technique and results at 2 and 4 years post-operatively.
