[Retrocaval ureter in a 10-year-old boy].

Retrocaval ureter is an uncommon abnormality of the inferior vena cava, which is rarely detected in the child due to its non-specific symptomatology. Despite a varying state of severity, chronic ureteral obstruction generally leads to the deterioration of renal function during adulthood. Treatment depends on the symptomatology in question, and surgical management should be as conservative as possible.

Intrinsic fasciotomy. When and why?

Major trauma to the upper extremity may lead to ischemic contracture of various muscle groups, sometimes including the intrinsic muscles of the hand. The clinical consequence of such necrotic fibrosis of the intrinsics is clawing of the digits with marked stiffness. After a short anatomical review of the fascias of the intrinsics, indications and operative techniques are discussed, in parallel with clinical cases. Intrinsic fasciotomy thus appears to be a major step in the prevention of digital clawing, when associated with early physiotherapy.

[Current treatment of fresh lesions of the flexor tendons].

Different aspects of primary treatment of flexor tendon lesions are reviewed. Of outstanding importance are: adequate setting and instruments plus meticulous repair with fine material, avoidance of traumatic manipulation of structures and anatomical repair, use of dynamic mobilisation of reconstructed tendons within a team of well informed and motivated therapists.

[Current emergency treatment of lesions of the flexor tendons: anatomical, biomechanical and cicatricial aspects].

Emergency treatment of flexor tendon lesion in 1988: anatomic biomechanical and healing characteristics. Flexor tendon surgery in 1988 must take into account detailed anatomic knowledge as well as healing and biomechanical properties of flexor tendons. Application of standardised surgical technics allows reliable treatment when the surgeon is familiar with these technics and the basic knowledge they suppose. The authors detail the technics and certain details with practical goals.
