Trapezio-metacarpal arthrodesis today: why?
A ten-year follow-up on forty-two patients (a total of forty-three hands) operated on by arthrodesis of the trapeziometacarpal joint for degenerative arthritis shows relief of pain, maintenance of stability and mobility of the first ray and good function of the operated hands. Patients were pleased with the results. Arthrodesis is a safe and conservative method of treatment.

Palliative surgery in irreparable lesions of the peroneal nerve.
The operation of transposition of tibialis posterior into tibialis anterior is indicated in irreparable lesions of the peroneal nerve. The authors present a critical review of 16 cases submitted to this operation during the last 5 years using the Barr technique. This is described in detail. Evaluation of the overall results shows this to be an excellent procedure in such cases.
