[Surgical treatment of Smith and Barton type fractures].

The method and the results of surgical treatment of Smith and Barton fracture of the distal radial epiphysis has been presented in 10 patients. Dislocation of fragments is reduced after exposure of the palmar side of the distal radial bone. Stabilization is secured by a metal plate, which supports the epiphysis and is fixed to the proximal fragment by screws. It prevents from redislocation of fragments and helps to recover full activity of the hand, which was obtained in 8 patients. Delayed reduction or stabilization of fragments by Kirschner wires in 2 persons has failed.

[Partial patellectomy in treatment of fresh fractures of the patella].

The late results of partial patellectomy in treatment of fracture of the apex or the 1/3 of the peripheral patella have been presented. Fourteen patients were evaluated. Attention was paid to the dependence of the result on the correct surgical technique. Full painless range of movements in the operated on knee was achieved in 7 persons. In the other 7 patients, extension of the knee was full but flexion was moderately limited. Periodical pain occurs in 3 persons.

[Resection of the patella and plasty of the knee by the de la Caffiniere method].

The surgical technique of patellectomy with preservation of continuity of the extension apparatus of the knee by the de la Caffinière method and the early results of treatment in 8 operated on patients have been presented. The indications for surgery were: posttraumatic stiffness of the knee in extension in 4 patients, patello-femoral arthrosis with preserved wide range of movement in 3 patients, fresh multi-fragmented fracture of the patella without rupture of the extension apparatus in one patient. The good treatment result was obtained in 6 patients (3 treated for patello-femoral arthrosis, 1 for fresh fracture of the patella, and 2 for stiffness of the knee in extension). The poor results in the other 2 patients operated on or stiffness of the knee in extension were due to large damage of the cartilaginous surface of the condyles and extensive intra- and periarticular adhesions.
