Transverse fractures of the sacrum. A report of six cases.

The diagnosis of transverse sacral fracture was made in six patients. All patients initially had evidence of urinary retention, a decrease in anal sphincter tone, or both. Diagnostic confirmation was established by tomography in four patients and by cystometric examination in two. All patients who had transverse sacral fractures with displacement of the fragments had resolution of their neurological deficit following posterior sacral laminectomy and decompression.

Investigation of the loss of bone mineral in patients with spinal cord injury.

Thirty-six (36) spinal cord injury patients (22 tetraplegic and 14 paraplegic) had hand radiographs taken in association with bone density measurements. The cortical bone of the hand, the radius, and the ulna was found to be normal, but there was an obvious decrease in the amount of trabecular bone. There were three predominant radiographic patterns of osteopenia --generalised, juxta-articular, and cystic. The cause of this decrease in trabecular bone is not understood, although it may be related to alterations in blood flow.

Scrotal flap urethroplasty in the treatment of carcinoma of the penis.

Another use for the scrotal skin flap is described. It is an ideal method for dealing with carcinoma of the penis and prevents meatal stricture. It may be used to provide permanent urethrostomy in cases of chronic complicated urethral stricture where other types of operative treatment are unacceptable to the patient. It is recommended for use in situations where follow-up is difficult.

Urethral pressure measurement after division of the external sphincter.

The completeness and permanence of 'division of the external sphincter' is assessed in a group of 30 spinal injury patients. The urethral pressure profile technique is effective in estimating the completeness of the operation. Both in the short-term and the long-term (four month to 16 years) the results of the operation are excellent with no mortality.
