Relationships among defensive styles, cognitive styles, processing styles, and attentional styles of normal adolescents.

Cognitive and psychodynamic theorists agree that an individual's personality and behavior are determined by both cognitive and dynamic processes. This study examined the relationship among three cognitive approaches--cognitive style, attentional style, and processing style--and examined their relations to defensive style. Adolescents from Grades 11 and 12 (146 boys, 164 girls) were examined in groups for cognitive style (Group Embedded Figures Test), attentional style (Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style), processing style (a sequential/simultaneous processing test battery), and defensive style (Defense Mechanism Inventory). Least squares completely randomized two-way analyses of variance (or analyses of covariance where applicable) were employed to assess the relations among the three cognitive measures and/or between the cognitive measures and defensive style. While most comparisons were nonsignificant, a significant relationship was observed between sequential processing and field-dependence and between simultaneous processing and field-independence. Also, a trend was noted between field-independence and ideational defenses and between field-dependence and repression-based defenses.

The use of an ankle joint distractor in ankle arthroscopy.

Joint distraction, whether manual or mechanical, is a common practice in orthopedic surgery for knee and shoulder arthroscopy and can be extrapolated to include ankle joint arthroscopy. Manual joint distraction involves manipulation of the ankle joint by gravity or manual traction applied by an assistant. Mechanical distraction can be achieved by joint infiltration with solution or a joint distractor. Although the use of a joint distractor in arthroscopy of the ankle is not a new technique, podiatric literature has rarely reported on its use to allow for easier access and implementation of arthroscopic instruments. The ankle joint distractor allows the surgeon to take advantage of pathologic ligamentous laxity, thus increasing the joint space from an average 3.4 to 7.8 mm.

Melorheostosis: a case report and literature review.

Melorheostosis is a rare form of cortical hyperostosis that resembles wax dripping down the side of a candle. This disease usually affects the long and short bones of an extremity. Literature review and a case report will be discussed with respect to incidence, clinical presentation, radiographic appearance, and treatment.

Implant failure with particulate silicone synovitis (detritic synovitis).

The authors present a case of particulate synovitis due to a silicone hemi-implant. Other names for this condition are silastic detritic synovitis and silastic foreign body synovitis. Small, free pieces of silastic cause inflammation of the synovial tissues. A literature review also is presented.

Os peroneum fracture with sural nerve entrapment neuritis.

The os peroneum is a sesamoid bone contained in the peroneus longus tendon. When present, it usually is located at the plantar lateral aspect of the cuboid. The author presents a case of os peroneum fracture causing sural nerve entrapment. A review of literature is also presented.

Traumatic classifications of the foot and ankle.

Many authors have presented classification systems for traumatic injuries to the foot and ankle. These systems of classification have been based on many factors (e.g., mechanism of injury, fracture pattern, fracture position and location). The most commonly used traumatic classification systems of the foot and ankle are reviewed. The staging, mechanism of injury, radiologic appearance, diagrammatic and radiologic examples are discussed.

Unicameral bone cyst of the first metatarsal.

An unusual case of a unicameral bone cyst located in the head of the first metatarsal is presented with a review of the literature. This benign bone tumor is rarely found in the metatarsal bones. Pathologic, clinical, and radiographic findings, as well as a differential diagnosis will be discussed.

Osteochondromatosis (diaphyseal aclasis): a case report and literature review.

An unusual case of osteochondromatosis is presented with a review of the literature. Osteochondromatosis, also known as hereditary multiple exostoses or diaphyseal aclasis, are inherited, benign, cartilaginous neoplasms that consist of a pedicle of normal bone covered with proliferating cartilage cells. Pathologic, clinical, and radiographic findings will be discussed.

Enchondroma: a case report and literature review.

An unusual case of enchondroma located in the distal phalanx of the left third toe is presented with a review of literature. An enchondroma is a benign tumor centrally located in a bone. This osseous dysplasia is characterized by an excess of mature hypertrophic hyaline cartilage that has not resorbed or ossified in the normal fashion. Pathologic, clinical, and radiographic findings will be discussed.

Talipes equinovarus: two case reports and literature review.

Clubfoot, or talipes equinovarus, was introduced into the medical literature by Hippocrates in 400 B.C. The clubfoot deformity is a pathologic condition consisting of inversion and adduction of the forefoot, equinus of the ankle, and inversion of the heel. The condition has also been described as a congenital subluxation of the talocalcaneonavicular joints. This manuscript will review the literature with respect to history, incidence, etiology, anatomy, classification, radiology, and treatment. Two case reports are also presented.
