Juxtascapularly-situated "elastofibroma dorsi".

Observation and histological study of a typical case of elastofibroma situated juxtascapularly, in a young man of 20, provides the Authors with an opportunity to review the as yet still sparse information on the nature and histogenesis of this relatively rare neoplasia benign, tumoral or, more probably pseudotumoral. Italian orthopaedic literature has nothing to say on the subject. Elastofibroma deserves to be better known both by Anatomists, Pathologists and Surgeons, so that we can be sure to distinguish it from other pathological disorders.

[Osteoarticular lesions from parachuting].

Based on personal experience gained in a parachuting centre (Pescara Aero-club) from 1975 up to 1988, the authors report their evaluation on chronic and acute osteoarticular lesions. The review of the cases was not based on the incidence of the lesions nor on their characteristics, normally found in common traumatology, but it was related to the dynamics of the trauma during the landing and to painful syndromes following a prolonged parachuting activity.

[The distal pedicle fasciocutaneous flaps of the leg. Analysis of 21 cases of lower limb reconstruction].

The fascio-cutaneous flaps with distal pedicle, with the new discoveries on fascial and septal circulation of the lower limbs, are a valid reconstructing method for the loss of substance localized on the third inferior of the leg and in the heel's region. In 21 patients, 18 men and 3 women, fascio-cutaneous flaps were employed for the traumatic loss of substance, just in two cases consequentially to removal of maligns lesions, all of them were omolaterals except in three cases in which cross-leg were used. The results are satisfying if we remember that just in two cases we had partial necrosis and in other two cases we had to reinstate the flap which had survived just in his deep position. The advantages of using this technique are supported by his good results and simple execution, realising anyhow that complicated or contaminated trumas need more complex plastic reconstruction.
