[Soft tissue covers in chronic osteitis].

The treatment of chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis with soft tissue damage requires debridement followed by plastic surgical soft tissue replacement. 47 patients were treated between the period of 1983 through to 1985 with a combination of extensive sequestrectomy followed by flap cover. In 15 cases a free muscle flap (M. latissimus dorsi) and in 32 cases a pedicled muscle flap (M. gastrocnemius, M. soleus) were employed. A successful outcome was achieved in 40 of the 47 patients.

[Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by a rare tendon variation].

The cause of carpal tunnel syndrome in a 51 year-old female patient was the attachement of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon to the palmar aponeurosis. Variations of the musculature in the hand are not only of anatomic interest, but are also of clinical significance in so far as they may present a source of diagnostic and therapeutic errors.
