[Arthrolysis of the elbow--apropos of 70 cases].

This retrospective review covers 70 cases of elbow stiffness treated by arthrolysis. The average age was 27 years. Eighty percent had a posttraumatic origin; 53.6% were old dislocations. In 67.1% the range of movement was reduced for flexion and extension; 80% were severe to very severe cases. Physiotherapy was passive and active from the third postoperative day, except for the old dislocations, treated for 2 weeks by fixation of the radial condyle, because of instability. For 51.4% the range of movement was -30 degrees extension up to 130 degrees flexion, intra-operatively; for 21.4% it was a long-term result. The results were related to the damage to the joint space, the large number of old dislocations and insufficient rehabilitation.

[Idiopathic acro-osteolysis. Apropos of a case with carpal-tarsal onset].

This work reports an isolated case of idiopathic acro-osteolysis with a carpo-tarsian onset without associated nephropathy, diagnosed in a 16 year-old patient. It has raised problems of etiologic diagnosis, of classification and therapeutic behaviour in the presence of destructive lesions with an extensive and progressive evolution.

[Carpal perilunar dislocation. Clinical study (apropos of 39 cases)].

Carpal perilunar dislocations are hidden lesions with uncertain outcome and treatment which is not yet standardized. This retrospective study including 39 cases of carpal perilunar dislocations helps clarify these issues. For fresh dislocations, the diagnosis was established in 66%. Surgical treatment was performed in 26 cases. Anatomic results showed nonunion, necrosis and residual instability. Function was always decreased and was worse in open forms or after orthopedic treatment. Scaphoid screwing results were better than those from pinning. Lateral wrist x rays must always be ordered in cases of wrist trauma to avoid delayed diagnosis. Surgical treatment must systematically use a palmar incision; it permits precise repair of bones and ligamentous lesions and reduces the risk of arthritis.

[Primary hydatidosis of the peripheral muscles. 7 case reports].

The authors reviewed a series of 7 cases of isolated and primitive hydatid cyst in the peripheral muscles. The disease was mainly diagnosed in young (average age 29.3 years) women of rural origin (87.7%), who consulted for a soft tissue tumor, evolving over at least 6 months, without alteration of the general condition. In 5 of the 7 patients, the tumor was located in the thigh and in 3 cases in the adductors compartment. The diagnosis was highly suspect on sonography. The surgical treatment consisted in a complete resection of the hydatic cyst with surrounding muscle tissue in 6 of the 7 cases, and in a subtotal removal of the surrounding tissues in one case which had adhesions of the surrounding tissues with the femoral vessels. With a follow-up of 19 months, neither clinical nor serological examination showed any recurrence or new sites.

[Ewing's sarcoma of the hand: a case report].

Ewing's sarcoma of the hand is rare. This tumor was first described in 1921, since then, only a few cases with hand involvement have been reported. We report a case of Ewing's sarcoma of the left hand, presenting as a swelling of the hand gradually enlarging over six months. Plain radiographs showed marked osteolysis of the second, third and fourth metacarpals. Histological confirmation was made following biopsy. Despite amputation and post-operative chemotherapy, death occurred two months later due marrow aplasia.
