Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A comparison of 2 techniques.

This work compares the results of 2 different techniques of anterior cruciate reconstruction performed by 2 surgeons with the same rehabilitation program and same criteria of results evaluation. Forty-five patients were operated on using semitendinous tendon autograft, (average followup, 8 years 4 months), and 30 patients using bone patellar tendon bone autograft (average followup, 7 years 5 months). Functional results were evaluated using the Lysholm and Tegner rating systems, and clinical laxity or stability were evaluated using the Lachmann and Jerk tests. Articular stability and function were significantly better in the patients operated on using bone patellar tendon bone autograft.

The surgical treatment of hallux valgus using distal metatarsal osteotomy and stabilization with a hallux splint. Preliminary results.

The preliminary results of the surgical treatment of hallux valgus using subcapitate chevron-type osteotomy of the 1st metatarsal modified using a dynamic interfragmentary device are reported. The method satisfies the need to restore angular metatarsophalangeal and intermetatarsal values and improves metatarsal pain caused by hallux valgus correction, which influences the cosmetic results.

Multiple osteoid osteoma. A clinical case.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor occurring frequently during the growth years. It may be found in any of the skeletal segments, and it is often present as an isolated neoformation. In some rare cases it may involve more than one segment or it may be multicentric. The authors report their experience with a case of double localization of metachronous osteoid osteoma.

Gorham's disease: a rare case of multicentric localization.

Gorham's disease is described as a rare form of massive non-familiar idiopathic osteolysis with a self-limiting nature, where the simil-angiomatous tissue destroys the bone, that is substituted by fibrous tissue. One case of Gorham's disease is presented, that is interesting because of the sites in which the pathology is localized and because of its multicentricity. The authors reached a diagnosis by carefully studying clinical and laboratory evidence as well as imaging and anatomo-histopathological findings, confirmed by the data reported in the literature.

Meyer's dysplasia epiphysealis.

Meyer's femoral cephalic dysplasia (FCD) is a rare affection that is often confused with Perthes' disease from which it differs in terms of both treatment and prognosis. A constant feature is the absence of the nucleus of ossification that does not occur until 15-18 months of age; at times there are multiple nuclei of ossification, so that the epiphysis has a "morulated" aspect. Fusion of the various centers of ossification occurs at about 5 years of age. The epiphysis does not collapse and it preserves its density and its structure. Differential diagnosis involves Perthes' disease and other pathologies such as multiple dysplasia epiphysealis, hypothyroidism, dyschondroplasia.

Catterall versus Herring classification in Perthes' disease.

It is the purpose of this study to compare the prognostic value of the Herring classification (lateral pillar) with that of the Catterall classification. The material is constituted by 45 patients affected with Perthes' disease and reviewed an average of 24 years after onset. At follow-up the hips were divided into three classes based on joint congruency as suggested by Stulberg. The Catterall classification demonstrated overall a better predictive value for the Herring system. Instead, the most satisfactory reproducibility seems to be that of Herring: 80% as compared to 42% for the Catterall classification.
