Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the spine: case report.

A case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the spine is presented. It was referred to us after a history of 3 years' pain. The site of the anomaly is so exceptional that it invited comparison with the six other cases described in the literature. This comparison produced resemblances which differentiate this particular type of monostotic fibrous dysplasia form that located at other sites, both in its clinical aspects and its radiographic appearances.

[Radiographic pictures of foot localizations of Ewing's sarcoma].

Ewing's Sarcoma (ES) is the most frequent malignant bone tumor of the foot. The radiological picture is characterized, in 14 patients, by a pure osteolytic lesion (9 cases) or by a mixed one (5 cases); the interruption of the cortical bone and swelling of the soft tissues were always present; the periostal reaction was occasional. The radiological aspects cannot be considered typical of the ES and it is suggested that biopsies should always be performed in the presence of a structural alteration of the bone.

[Radiographic aspects of metastasis to the foot].

The authors present the radiographical features in 8 cases with metastatic tumors to the foot bones. Seven of them have been histologically confirmed. In 4 cases the tumor was monostotic and mainly osteolytic. In the other 4 the neoplasia, having osteolytic or osteoblastic appearance, involved multiple contiguous bones.

The results of the surgical treatment of breakage of the rotator cuff.

Sixteen patients affected with rotator cuff tears were treated by surgical repair and anterior acromioplasty, using superior of anteromedial approaches. The authors believe that acute and chronic massive ruptures causing significant functional failure must be surgically treated. Good results may be obtained if impingement signs of arthropathy are absent at surgery.

Syringomyelic arthropathy: a description of two cases and a review of the literature.

Neurogenous arthropatHy is a rare disease. Nonetheless, every orthopaedist will sooner or later be faced with the arthropathy before the neurologic disease has been diagnosed. The authors report their study on two cases of syringomyelic arthropathy, repropose its anatomopathological, clinical and radiographic features, and discuss the etiopathogenesis, differential diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

An evaluation of the "quoad vitam" prognosis in the elderly patient with medial fracture of the femoral neck.

The authors analyzed 425 consecutive cases of medial fracture of the femoral neck with the purpose of establishing a simple and practical system, and one which is easy to use, in order to evaluate this type of lesion and to compare different series of cases. Based on these criteria the death rate occurring intra-hospital and 6 months after trauma, the influence of the age factor, the type of anesthesia used and the type of treatment carried out, were evaluated. The results were as follows: The classification devised by the American Society of Anesthesiology continues to be an effective system for the evaluation of vital risk. The death rate was always directly related to age, and it was not influenced by either the type of anesthesia or the type of surgery used; however, it doubled when non-surgical treatment was used.

Chondrosarcoma of the hand and foot.

Among possible localizations of chondrosarcoma of the limbs, the hand and foot represent the rarest sites. Five-hundred six cases of chondrosarcoma have been observed at the Tumor Center of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute. Of these, 4 were localized in the hand and 10 in the foot. The authors compared their cases with those reported in the international literature. The authors emphasize the particular aspects of the tumor when localized in these sites which may be responsible for late diagnosis and difficulty in differential diagnosis involving synovial chondromatosis and, above all, chondroma, from which chondrosarcoma may originate.
