Idiopathic carpotarsal osteolysis with Bartter's syndrome. A case report and review of the literature.

Idiopathic carpotarsal osteolysis is 1 of the rare types of disappearing bone diseases characterized by painful limitation of movement and deformity of the wrist and tarsal joints, and associated with frequent episodes of joint inflammation and a radiographic appearance of osteolysis. Reported here is an 8-year-old girl with idiopathic carpotarsal osteolysis and Bartter's syndrome with significantly decreased re-absorption of chloride at distal renal tubules, low level of serum potassium, a metabolic alkalosis, and high levels of aldosterone and renin. Bartter's syndrome associated with idiopathic carpotarsal osteolysis has not been published previously. The typical plantar nodule in this patient confirmed the presence of fibromatosis with aggressive histologic signs in light and electron microscopic examination.

Partial destruction of the distal femoral epiphysis as a consequence of osteomyelitis: regeneration after transplantation of a bone graft.

As a consequence of osteomyelitis in a newborn, a defect developed on the medial part of the distal bony epiphysis and metaphysis of the right femur, resulting in a 30 degree varus deformity. The iliac wing, with its attached apophysis, was transplanted to the defect in the medial condyle. This favorably influenced the ossification and growth disturbance and corrected the varus deformity.

Limb lengthening operations.

Limb lengthening operations were first used at the beginning of this century, they were, however, performed more frequently only in the fifties. The various, continuously elongating devices have made possible a substantially greater lengthening than earlier. Wide-range investigations were begun with the various distraction devices and the results were examined in regard to the site of lengthening, the injury of the periosteal and endosteal vascular supply during the operation and the extent and rate of the lengthening. Detailed results of 224 lengthening operations performed in 191 patients are presented in Tables 1 to 8. Attention is called to the fact that the operation should be performed strictly individually, and the patients should be well prepared to the operation and followed carefully. The number of complications increases in direct ratio with the measure of lengthening, the end result is, however, influenced only by a minor part of the complications.
