Abductor pollicis longus tendon arthroplasty of the trapezio-metacarpal joint: surgical technique and results.

Tendon interposition resection arthroplasty of the trapezium is a valuable tool in treating osteoarthrosis of the first carpometacarpal joint. A previously unreported modification of such an operation is described in which a part of the abductor pollicis longus tendon is used as an interposition material. This technique was employed in a series of thirty-nine thumbs. After a minimal follow-up period of 2 years, the results of the operation are graded excellent in 48% of the patients, good in 35%, and average in the rest. Grip strength, as well as pinch strength, is about three quarters of the normal average. No patient needed a further operation.

Unusual fracture dislocation of the elbow joint.

A rare case of posterior dislocation of the elbow joint with an avulsion fracture of the medial humeral epicondyle and fracture of the capitulum humeri is presented. Closed reduction was insufficient. Excision of the comminuted segments of the fractured capitulum was imperative to allow an optimal return of elbow function.

Study of a family with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis. No HLA linkage, but an informative recombination between HLA-B and Bf.

A large family with three children affected with the autosomal recessive disease of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) was studied for class I (HLA-A,B,C) and class II antigens (HLA-DR,D,SB), properdin factor B and glyoxalase. The extensive typing revealed an informative cross-over between HLA-B and Bf, indicating that Bf is located centromeric to the HLA-B locus and segregated in this family with HLA-D/DR. The parents in this family were first cousins and their parents were also first cousins. Three of their four haplotypes share B14, BfS, DR1, Dx and SB4 and may be identical by descent. The three affected children carried among them all four parental haplotypes, indicating that close linkage of the CTX locus to HLA is unlikely.

Sacrococcygeal dysgenesis.

Congenital sacrococcygeal dysplasia is an uncommon though important cause of neuropathic bladder disease leading to progressive renal damage. In 2 cases described herein and featuring long-standing incontinence and recurrent infections, the concomittant musculoskeletal abnormalities had been treated for years, while the urinary tract condition had been largely neglected until urinary diversion or unilateral nephrectomy were required.
