Ultrasonically driven tools.

Ultrasonically driven tools have been employed extensively in revision hip surgery during the last 2 years at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre. In combination with hand revision instruments, the removal of cement, in particular the removal of the distal cement plug, has been made safer. One significant complication that has occurred with this device is reported and advice on its prevention offered.

Hallux interphalangeus extensus.

We report four cases of symptomatic extension deformity of the interphalangeal joint of the hallux. Patients without pathology in the joint were effectively treated by osteotomy of the proximal phalanx. For older patients, or those with joint pathology, interphalangeal fusion is recommended. The condition has not been previously reported.
