Excision of the fractured os peroneum: a report on five patients and review of the literature.

Five patients sustained fractures of the os peroneum after supination and plantarflexion injuries. Two of the injuries involved the knee in hyperflexion and the foot under the buttock. Four of the five were treated with immobilization for 6 weeks. All five required operative excision of the fractured sesamoid 8 months to 8 years after the initial injury. Three fractures were bipartite and there were two multipartite fractures. At 12- to 28-month follow-up, all patients were pain-free over the lateral midfoot and four patients returned to preinjury activity levels.

Reaction of the urinary tract to polypropylene sutures.

Cystotomies were performed on 99 mature guinea pigs and closed with polypropylene sutures. The bladders were removed at intervals from day 4 through day 144 postoperatively. They were studied with both light and electron microscopy. A localized mild, acute, inflammatory reaction was noted transitorily; it subsided between the 7th and 14th day. Three calculi were formed, a result which compares favorably with studies of other sutures. Results indicate that the suture may have a place in urologic surgery, but further studies are necessary before clinical use.

Epithelialization after cystotomy.

Cystotomies were performed on mature guinea pigs using aseptic technique, and one layer closure with polypropylene sutures. It was found that epithelialization over the suture material was completed by 3 days and that epithelialization of the bladder mucosa itself after a mucosa-mucosa approximation was completed within 4 days. The main significance of this investigation is that the normal bladder mucosa was completely healed within 4 days.
