Calf augmentation with supraperiostic solid prosthesis associated with fasciotomies.

This article describes, for the first time, the supraperiostic technique used for aesthetic purposes to remedy hemiatrophy, genu valgum, poliomyelitis sequela, and thin legs. For genu valgum and thin legs, a solid prosthesis was used, whereas for severe hemiatrophy a double light prosthesis was used as a tissue expansor, with excellent reports. The advantages of this technique are delineated further in this article.

Open reduction and internal fixation of fractures of the radial head.

Early reports of open reduction and internal fixation of fractures of the radial head were positive, perhaps because of the prevalence of isolated partial head fractures for which good results would be expected. Subsequent reports have found that complex fractures of the radial head are prone to early failure, nonunion, and poor forearm rotation after operative fixation. Combined with increased availability and use of metal radial head prosthesis for complex fractures of the radial head, the role of open reduction and inter-nal fixation is being redefined.

Supracondylar fractures of the elbow: open reduction, internal fixation.

This principle-based approach for fixing distal humerus fractures has many advantages. Complex fractures are able to be fixed with sufficient stability to permit immediate intensive rehabilitation. Some fractures believed to be unfixable have been fixed satisfactorily by applying the principles outlined in this article. More straightforward fractures are fixed easily using the same techniques. In the author's experience, the stability achieved with this approach is so much greater than that with traditional methods of fixing distal humerus fractures that bone graft has been required only rarely, despite the severity of injuries so typical of the tertiary referral nature of the author's practice. The key points are that the plates should be placed in parallel configuration medially and laterally and that the screws passing through these plates in the distal fragments should interdigitate and lock together.
