[Intraarticular distal radius fractures--arthroscopic assessment of injuries].

Intraarticular distal radius fractures affect predominantly young people by contrary to "loco typico" fractures concerning old patients with osteoporosis. They are usually caused by high energy trauma and their treatment needs anatomic reposition. Between August and December 2004 there were performed 10 wrist arthroscopies in distal intraarticular radius fractures: 3 women and 7 men, age from 20 to 63 years, average 41. In all cases arthroscopy revealed larger displacement than assessed by standard radiographs and multiple associated soft tissue injuries were detected: lesions of TFCC in 5 patients, cartilage lesions of carpal bones in 6 and I degree SL interosseous ligament lesion in 4 patients. Arthroscopy in distal radius fractures allows detailed articular surface displacement assessment and reposition under "eye control". Additionally associated soft tissue injuries, which are not visible in standard X-ray examination are detected and treated.

[Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty].

From 1997 to 2002 in the Department of Traumatology there had been performed 488 total hip replacements: 334 in men and 454 in women at the age between 20 and 84 (average 63.6). The procedures were performed by 12 surgeons and postero-lateral approach was used. Dislocation was found in 22 patients (4.51%): 14 women and 8 men. Majority of dislocation occurred during first 8 weeks after an operation and 68% of them happened during first 6 weeks. The surgical treatment was necessary in 10 cases (45% of all dislocation): 3 patients had only a surgical reposition and 7 patients had a revision arthroplasty. There was found that most cases of dislocation took place at the age above 81 years. Dislocation occurred 5 times more frequently in patients operated on for a femoral neck fractures then for coxarthrosis. The prosthesis TT1 most often dislocated possibly due to its shape (low Head Neck Ratio). Based on our own experience we find dislocation is a multifactorial complication and precise description of causes is usually very difficult.

[Quadriceps and hamstring atrophy and weakness after knee trauma and treatment].

158 patients after the knee trauma and operational treatment were evaluated. Quadriceps and hamstring isometric strength and thigh circumference 10 cm above the patella were measured. Injured leg was compared to non-injured. PATIENT GROUPS: Group 1 - 43 patients with isolated ACL injury treated non-operatively. Group 2 - 29 patients after ACL reconstruction using Leeds-Keio prosthesis. Group 3 - 29 patients after subtotal arthroscopic meniscectomy. Group 4 - 13 patients with patellar fractures treated operatively and 6 weeks in long leg cast, Group 5 - 31 patients with proximal articular tibial fractures treated operatively and immobilized 6 weeks in long leg cast. Group 6 - 13 patients with distal femoral articular fractures treated operatively without immobilization. Group 7 - 10 patients with habitual dislocation of the patella after the Campbell-Goldwaith operation and 6 weeks in a long leg cast. CONCLUSIONS: 1) No significant correlation between the quadriceps and hamstring strength deficit and thigh atrophy was found. 2) Strength deficits concerns both quadriceps and hamstring muscles. 3) Strength deficits are higher in patients treated in the long leg casts than in non-immobilized.

[Bipolar radial head prosthesis--own design].

The authors describe its own design--bipolar radial head prosthesis. The value of this prosthesis is analyzed. The early results in 10 patients, age 20-69 (average 36 years), 7 male and 3 female have been reported. The results are excellent and good. The authors conclude that this prosthesis should be used as an alternative for radial head resection.

[Total elbow arthroplasty].

The authors describe indications and contraindications for total elbow arthroplasty. The brief characteristic of total elbow replacement is done. The authors describe its own case of clinical use of the Coonrad-Morrey implant.

[The value of laser Doppler examination of differential diagnosis of the Sudeck syndrome with local osteoporosis after tibia fracture].

The fractures of the shaft of the tibia were analyzed in 120 cases. The level of the osteoporosis in the radiological examination was assessed in comparison to the healthy limb. Osteoporosis was recorded in 60.6% of the cases. The clinical symptoms of the Sudeck syndrome was recorded in 11.25% of the cases. The Laser-Doppler examination was carried out in 120 cases. A standard 3 points measurement was employed: the apex of the toe, the flexion-dorsal part of the foot, and the medial part of the mid tibia length. The examination was done comparatively on both limbs. The pressure used in the occlusion, was 100 mm Hg higher than the pressure on the humeral artery. A faster and higher amplitude post-occlusion circulation reaction in the affected limb, among the patients with an early stage of the clinically diagnosed Sudeck syndrome had been recorded. The outcome is significant statistically. The Laser-Doppler measurement of the microcirculation is a new method and definite conclusions must be draw with caution. However, these results encourage further research.

[Internal fixation in the treatment of radial head fractures].

The authors give indications for internal fixation of the radial head fractures. The results in 20 patients, age 18-69 (average 38 years), 12 male and 8 female have been reported. The authors conclude that fixation is a better method of treatment than resection of the radial head. The authors suggest that good fixation is also possible in the case of comminuted fracture. Fracture-dislocation of the elbow joint is not an indication for ligaments repair if the elbow is stable after radial head osteosynthesis.

[Quadriceps and hamstring strength after anterior cruciate ligament rupture treated operatively with Leeds-Keio prosthesis and without surgery].

69 patients with the ACL rupture: 40 non-operated, without functional knee instability, and 29 after the ACL reconstruction using Leeds-Keio prosthesis due to knee instability have been evaluated. Isometric dynamometric examination of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles was performed. The mean strength deficit in non-operated group was: quadriceps--18.48%, hamstring--7.19%, in operated group was: quadriceps--11.87%, hamstring--10.30%. The higher strength deficit of the quadriceps and lower of the hamstring in non-operated patients may be the sign of an adaptational mechanism to the ACL deficiency. No statistical correlation between the strength deficit and the deficit of the thigh circumference 10 cm above the patella was found.
