[Surgical treatment of post-injection contracture of the hip in children].

Abduction contracture of the hip has been treated by two methods; the results of both have been compared. Modified Campbell's procedure has been performed in 5 children (6 hips). In 8 patients (9 hips) gluteal fascia and fibrotic scarring within the gluteal muscles has been transversely dissected. The mean follow-up was 26 months in either group. Dissection of the fascia and the scars resulted in doubled range of adduction and better cosmetic result compared to Campbell's method.

[Personal experience in the use of closed reduction and transcutaneous K-wire fixation for displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children].

The method of closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation has been used for treatment of 20 children with displaced supracondylar fracture of the humeral bone. No infection, vascular or neural complication has been observed. In all cases good clinical and radiological results have been achieved. The authors conclude the method presented above should be used as a treatment of choice for displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children.

[Percutaneous method for achilles tendon lengthening in treatment of spastic equinus deformity with progressive muscular dystrophy].

Surgical technique of percutaneous lengthening of Achilles tendon has been presented. Thirty-seven feet in 26 children have been operated on. There was no intraoperative inadvertent tenotomy or excessive lengthening, no complications occurred in the postoperative course. An average follow-up was of 18 months. The procedure resulted in 7 degrees of dorsal flexion on an average. The authors recommend this method in the treatment of the spastic pes equinus.
