[Surgical management of complete Tossy III acromioclavicular joint dislocation with the Bosworth screw or the Wolter plate. A critical evaluation].

The long-term results with an average of 4.3 years of 87 patients with an AC-dislocation grade III according to Tossy, treated operatively with a Bosworth screw or a Wolter plate are described and submitted to critical evaluation. Of the patients 16% had implant failures. Redislocation was seen in 25% of the patients, calcifications in 39% and arthritis in 41%. The end-result was good or excellent in 60% of the patients and fair or bad in 40%. The only factor, influencing the end result was the redislocation rate (p < 0.05). These moderate results surprised and disappointed us. They made us conclude that the grade III acromioclavicular dislocation is no absolute indication for surgical treatment, as is often suggested in literature. No significant differences could be revealed between both surgical techniques.

Microbiological monitoring of aortic aneurysm sac contents during abdominal aneurysmectomy: results in 176 patients and review of the literature.

To investigate the clinical significance of intraoperative cultures, aneurysmal thrombus was cultured in 176 patients with clinically non suspected infected abdominal aortic aneurysm. The incidence of positive cultures was 14.2% and 88% of the microorganisms were Gram-positive. Differences between elective and urgent reconstruction were not significant. During follow-up, there were no cases of graft infection in either group. Review of the literature shows a positive culture rate of 19% in a series of 1867 patients. 93% Of the microorganisms are Gram-positive and 78% are considered as contaminants. The incidence of graft infection is 1.99% in the group with positive culture and 0.7% in the series with negative culture (P = 0.06). It is concluded that the clinical significance of routine cultures in clinically non suspected infected aortic aneurysms is negligible.

Fibromuscular dysplasia of the superior mesenteric artery--case report and review of the literature.

Fibromuscular dysplasia is a multifactorial arteriopathy most commonly affecting the renal and carotid arteries. In this report we present a case of visceral artery involvement, causing occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and celiac trunk and resulting in visceral ischemia. Treatment consisted of superior mesenteric artery reimplantation. Visceral artery FMD can present as occlusive or aneurysmal disease and treatment depends on patient characteristics and symptoms.
