[The experience in employing reciprocal gait orthoses].

The paper presents the experience of the authors in employing reciprocal gait orthoses in a group of 23 patients age 3-25 years (mean age 7.8 years). The orthoses were indicated in patients with flaccid paresis (17 children with myelodysplasia and 3 patients with traumatic paraplegia) and with arthrogryposis (3 patients). The follow-up period was 6 months to 5 years (mean 2.4 years). The authors discuss the principles of construction and operation of reciprocal gait orthoses and types of patients in whom they are recommended. The principles of learning walking and using the orthosis are also presented.

[Treatment of benign chondroblastoma].

Six children have been operated on due to benign chondroblastoma at the mean age at first operation of 14.2 years (range 11-17 years). Mean follow-up was 4 years (2-7 years). Mean delay of the diagnosis was 12 months (6-24 months). One-stage surgery was successful in child with proximal fibula involvement, child with distal femoral epiphysis involvement (knee arthrodesis followed), two children with proximal tibia involvement. In 1 case of distal femoral epiphyseal involvement two revisions were necessary, 1 similar case is in the course of treatment. At the follow-up three children presented with the knee pain and restricted range of motion.

[Proximal hamstring release for knee flexion contracture treatment in children with childhood cerebral palsy].

A series of 24 children with cerebral palsy has been reviewed to asses proximal hamstrings release for treatment of flexion contracture of the knee. In 22 cases improvement of a various degree has been achieved, in 2 cases no improvement was gained. In 4 children hyperextension of the knee and lumbar hyper-lordosis was found. Observing exact indications for surgery and avoiding hyper-corrections allows for good results of treatment.

[Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis--personal experience].

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare entity with obscure etiology. A review of literature concerning clinical appearance, diagnostics and management of this condition is presented. Own material embraces a group of 7 children who have chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. Mean follow-up was 2.5 years. On the basis of results achieved the authors believe this condition is of good prognosis and should be differentiated with chronic osteomyelitis and neoplastic changes.
