[Measuring the cartilage thickness in the patellar gliding articulation with ultrasound--method and value].
An ultrasonographic method for standardized measurement of cartilage thickness in the patellar gilding articulation is presented. A total of 778 kneejoints was investigated. The measurements from 438 healthy kneejoints were analysed with regard to their correlation with sex, age, height and weight, and norm values wer calculated. These were compared with the measurements from 130 kneejoints with "retropatellar pain syndrome". It could be demonstrated that the cartilaginous covering of the patellar facies in "retropatellar pain syndrome" is significantly thinner on the whole (but in particular at the medial facet) than in the healthy kneejoint; after intra-articular chondroprotective treatment, this difference could no longer be demonstrated in 71 kneejoints which were followed up sonographically. The precision and the reliability of the measurement could be verified statistically, so that it is feasible to make a contribution not only to noninvasive diagnosis of retropatellar symptoms, but possible also to better appraisal of the efficiency of therapy measures.
[From the sports medicine practice: experiences with lateral clavicular resection].
Posttraumatic arthroses of the clavicle in sportsmen are relatively frequent causes of persistent and refractory pain. If the broad palette of conservative treatment possibilities is exhausted, an effective alternative would be the surgical resection of the lateral pole of the clavicle. This will not only ensure a large measure of freedom from pain but will also fully restore the patients ability to again become an active participant in sport.
[Safety assessment: no special danger of AIDS infection in sports].
If the usual hygiene precautions are observed, sports--including competitive sports between two contestants--will not entail any concrete HIV infection risk, according to the present state of knowledge.
