[Neurological complication after total hip replacement].

The study was performed to evaluate neurological complication of 562 patients who had undergone primary total hip replacement. Lesions of sciatic, femoral and common peroneal nerve occurred in 18 patients (3.2%). Paresis of peroneal nerve was demonstrated in 15 patients. Within this group 7 patients had elongation of the extremity above 4 cm, and 8 patient had it in the range of 2-3 cm. Paresis of common peroneal nerve took place after direct compression of region of fibular head. Lesion of femoral nerve happened twice. In the group of 14 patients clinical symptoms of nerve paresis healed spontaneously in 6-12 month time. In the group of 4 patients (0.7%) constant lost of dorsal flexion of the foot was observed.

[Bone tissue harvesting after multiorgan procurements for preparation of preserved bone allografts].

Preserved bone allografts are widely used in orthopaedic and traumatology operations. Until now, bone tissue for the preparation of preserved allografts has been collected from cadaveric donors in forensic medicine departments. Increasing demand for preserved bone allografts and limited number of suitable donors led to a prolongation of the waiting time for this kind of allografts. In 1999 a group of orthopaedic surgeons from the Orthopaedics and Trauma Department of the Pomeranian University of Medical sciences started to retrieve bone tissue following vascularized organ procurements. The aim of this paper is to present the technical details and limitations of this enterprise. Between November 1999 and April 2001 bone tissue was received from 12 out of 20 multiorgan donors (60%).
