Nonunion following subcapital (neck) fractures of the proximal phalanx of the thumb in children.

Six cases of nonunion of subcapital (neck) fractures of the proximal phalanx of the thumb in children were seen over a period of 5 years. Ages at the time of injury ranged between 2 and 3 years. Entrapment of the thumb in a closing door was the mechanism of injury in all cases. All fractures were closed and were significantly displaced. Immediate management was by closed reduction and splinting in four cases, closed reduction and K-wire fixation in one case and no treatment in one case, which was later treated by delayed open reduction and K-wire fixation. Only two of the six ununited fractures were eventually treated with bone grafts and both fractures united resulting in a stable thumb but with a limited range of flexion of the interphalangeal joint. Factors that may increase the risk of nonunion of these fractures in children are discussed.

A recessively inherited non-lethal form of popliteal pterygium syndrome.

Two siblings, a 10-year-old boy and a 6-month-old girl, born in a Palestinian family, with manifestations of popliteal pterygium syndrome are presented. This rare form of syndrome is usually assumed to be autosomal dominant. Parental consanguinity and lack of phenotype manifestation in the ancestry of the present family favoured an interpretation of determination by an autosomal recessive trait.

Congenital palmar nail syndrome.

A rare case of congenital palmar nail syndrome is described. Nomenclature of this rare form of ectopic nail is discussed and a classification of the palmar nail deformity is offered.

Mentolabial sulcus: a histologic study.

This study deals with the structure of the lower lip in the region of the mentolabial sulcus with particular emphasis on the morphologic factors responsible for producing and maintaining the sulcus. The results of this study provide information about the anatomic framework as it pertains to reconstructive and aesthetic procedures on the lower face deformed by injuries.

Postburn deformity of lip-chin complex: a method to restore the mentolabial sulcus.

An extensive postburn deformity of the lower lip presents a difficult reconstructive problem. Efforts to reconstruct the resultant defect by conventional methods were found unsatisfactory. In a deformed lower lip, restoration of the contour of the lip with a well-defined mentolabial sulcus should be the aim of any reconstructive effort to bring aesthetic balance to the face. We describe a simple and effective method of restoring the function and form of the lip-chin complex.

Facial clefts in Saudi Arabia: an epidemiologic analysis in 179 patients.

One hundred and seventy-nine consecutive cases of facial clefts that were treated at the King Khalid University Hospital, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were analyzed for an epidemiologic study. Isolated cleft lip was present in 38 percent, cleft of lip and palate in 37.4 percent, and cleft of the posterior palate in only 22.4 percent. There was a male preponderance in all types. In cases of cleft lip with or without cleft palate, the more commonly affected side was the left, followed by bilateral cases. Associated malformations were present in 13.4 percent. A positive family history was found in 26.8 percent of cases. A significant number of patients (7.8 percent) were first seen at more than 10 years of age. The incidence of facial clefts at this hospital was 0.3 per 1000 live births, computed over a period of 6 years. This incidence is significantly lower than that reported from European and Far Eastern countries.
