[A study of a regional lymph node metastasis in a well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma].

Forty-eight patients with a well-differentiated thyroid cancer that occupied unilateral lobe were given, a modified radical neck dissection (unilateral or bilateral). After an examination of their lymph nodes, a retrospective analysis showed that the metastasis extended to the lateral cervical lymph node on the ipsilateral neck in 43.8% of all cases, and to at least the paratracheal lymph node on the contralateral neck in 27.2% of all cases. Therefore a bilateral modified radical neck dissection is needed surgical treatment for such patients.

[Floating knee fracture (ipsilateral fracture of the femur and tibia)--treatment by closed Ender nailing].

Fourteen cases of ipsilateral fractures of the femur and tibia (floating knee fracture) were reviewed and patients were graded according to the type of fracture and the method of treatment. Using the criteria for assessment described by Karlström and Olerud, patients were graded as excellent, good, fair and poor. Excellent results were achieved in five patients, good in three and fair in six. When the fracture extended into the knee, it caused knee problem in three out of five. In ten cases the femoral shaft fractures were nailed and in five both bones were nailed. Nailing of both femur and tibia gave good or excellent result in all five cases. As the comminution is often severe in the cases of floating knee fracture, intramedullary nailing by Küntscher may be difficult. We have introduced a closed Ender nailing for femoral and tibial shaft fractures and we have found that this method is also useful for the floating knee fracture. It is advantageous for this type of fracture, because it is technically simple, it has wide indications and it results in rapid bone union without knee disturbance.

[Innominate osteotomy (Salter) related to the correction of the acetabular abnormality and the prediction of the acetabular angle after operation (author's transl)].

The purpose of this paper is to know how to correct the maldirection of the acetabulum. The author devised a new system for the measurement of the degree of the forward rotation of the acetabulum. The acetabular improvement after the osteotomy is classified into two types, namely the primary and secondary improvement. The primary improvement is seen immediately after the osteotomy and the secondary improvement follows gradually. The effective factors for each of them were analyzed. The primary improvement is influenced mostly by the lateral inclination of the distal fragment. The secondary improvement was intimately correlated to the forward rotation of the acetabulum at the operation. The development of the acetabulum after operation can therefore be predicted from the post-operative X-ray film. In the case of the residual subluxation of the hip, there is about 10 degrees of acetabular elevation (frontalization), so the acetabulum should be rotated forward by more than 10 degrees in this operation.

[Indication for the surgical correction of severe spondylolisthesis and modification of incorrect lumbar posture].

In the last few years, the operative treatment of severe spondylolisthesis has aimed to reduce the gliding movement between the vertebral bodies proceeding then to a spondylodesis. So far, various questions have remained open. When, with which techniques and with which patients should the reduction of the vertebral gliding be performed? How do these results compare with the spondylolisthesis fused operatively "in situ" without any correction at the same time? In order to answer the various questions raised, we examined patients operatively treated with spondylolisthesis of more than 50%, both clinically and radiologically. 20 patients with a ventral spondylodesis and reposition were compared with 98 patients having had a dorsal fusion without reposition. In most cases of progressive vertebral gliding, it is possible to effect alignment of the lumbar curvature even with complex procedures e.g. Halo-Pelvic Traction or usage of Harrington Instruments. The reposition of the spondyloptosis has a positive influence on the Pelvic Tilt.
