Electron microscopic study of synovial lining cells in the developmental process.

In order to decide whether or not the two types of synovial lining cells originate from the same precursor cells, the developmental process of knee joint of rat fetus was studied electron microscopically and the following results were obtained. 1. Both type A and type B cells are derived from the same precursor cells that are synovioblasts. 2. The type B cells originate directly from synovioblasts. 3. There are intermediate type cells in the course of development of type A cells.

Three epiphyseal fractures (distal radius and ulna and proximal radius) and a diaphyseal ulnar fracture in a seven-year-old child's forearm.

SUMMARY: The authors report a rare case of fracture separations at both ends of the radius combined with an epiphyseal and diaphyseal fracture of the ipsilateral ulna. A seven-year-old girl fell one story and sustained a closed injury of her forearm. A closed reduction was unsuccessful, and an open reduction was performed with three of the four fractures being secured with Kirschner wires. These wires were removed one month later, and range-of-motion exercises were started. Thirty months after surgery, both forearms were equal in length, although the proximal radial epiphyseal line appeared partially closed. Joint motions, including forearm rotation, were normal. Radiologically, the ulnar diaphysis and the radial neck were posteriorly convex 20 degrees and 18 degrees, respectively.
