The use of modified A.O. reduction forceps in percutaneous fracture fixation.
A simple modification of standard A.O. reduction forceps is described. This instrument has greatly facilitated the management of fractures in the hand that require percutaneous wire fixation.

Instability of the ankle after injury to the lateral ligament.
Ligamentous instability of the ankle joint can be confirmed by radiographs taken in two planes. The place of the anteroposterior varus stress view is established, but the lateral view which shows anterior subluxation of the talus is frequently omitted. The anatomical significance of the two stress views has been determined by dividing different components of the lateral ligament of 20 cadaveric ankles and noting the subluxation that resulted from these procedures. A clinical assessment was then made of 54 ankles (46 patients) with radiological evidence of instability when subjected to varus and anterior stress. Anterior subluxation was found to be considerably more common than varus tilt, and it is therefore suggested that the lateral stress view should be an essential part of the investigation of the unstable ankle.

Tarsal hypermobility after ankle fusion--fact or fiction?
Thirty-seven patients have been reviewed after arthrodesis of the ankle in order to determine the reduction of dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the foot, the incidence of tarsal hypermobility and its relevance to the clinical results of this procedure. Radiological methods of measuring movements in the foot and tarsus are described and applied to patients who had a normal foot on the opposite side which could be used as a control. Our findings suggest that tarsal hypermobility is not as common as has hitherto been supposed and that a stiff foot with minor radiological degenerative changes in the tarsal joints is quite compatible with an excellent result.

Acute appendicitis in association with non-obstructive carcinoma of the caecum.
A case of carcinoma of the caecum is reported, which presented as acute appendicitis, although the carcinoma did not obstruct either the lumen of the appendix or the colon. The prognosis for caecal or proximal colonic neoplasm presenting as appendicitis is poor. This is in part due to the association being missed at the initial laparotomy. It is suggested that a more aggessive attitude should be taken in the pre- and post-operative management of any patient over 50 years of age who presents with appendicitis. The difficulties of identifying a small tumour at laparotomy even if the mucosa can be palpated are emphasized.

Pathological plicae of the knee mistaken for arthritis.
Synovial plicae are persistent embryological folds present in normal knee joints. Plicae may become pathological and give rise to symptoms. Two brothers with pathological medial plicae are described in whom the condition was mistaken for arthritis. The role of arthroscopy in diagnosis and treatment is discussed.
