Resection arthroplasty of the patella.

Resection arthroplasty of the patella has been found to be a satisfactory procedure for the treatment of patellofemoral pain caused by osteoarthritis. In the present series 60% of the operated cases were pain-free on a 31-month average follow-up. The patients found it easier to climb stairs and to kneel and in most cases the radiographic joint space was good.

The open palm and digit technique in the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture.

The authors have used the open palm and digit technique for Dupuytren's contracture in fifty-four patients since May, 1973. The procedure consists in making transverse skin incisions on the palm and fingers leaving the wounds open after limited fasciectomy. The results have been surprisingly good due to the elimination of haematoma formation and finger oedema, and the excellent quality of the final scar.

Treatment of Kienböck's disease using a silicone rubber implant.

Ten patients with Kienböck's disease treated by resection and replacement with a silicone rubber implant through a volar approach were reviewed after follow-up ranging from twenty-four to thirty months. The results were good in seven and unsatisfactory in three: two patients had volar dislocation of the implant and one, median-nerve paresthesias of unexplained origin.

The normal and pathological mobility of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint.

The pathological mobility of the metacarpo-phalangeal joints of 100 patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis was studied, and the results were analysed and compared with the results obtained in a control non-rheumatoid group. This report seems to suggest that rheumatoid metacarpo-phalangeal joints become more lax the longer the rheumatoid disease has been present. However, when there is marked local involvement of the joint this hyperlaxity cannot be proven because of pain and/or mechanical blockage.
