[Is conservative treatment justified in the case of advanced infantile tuberculosis of the hip? (author's transl)].

In the case of advanced children tuberculosis of the hip, the authors propose a more active treatment than Wilkinson's, which is less conservative. A local curetting is important, and if the acetabulum reveals a geodic aspect, this surgery may be done by pelvic approach. After an orthopedic traction, the surgical method is more efficient and permits better flexibility of the hip, only to be noticed under general anesthesia. After surgery, this traction must be prolonged for a several months and kinesitherapic mobilisation must be associated. The excellent result, both clinical and radiographic obtained by the authors seems to justify the use of the above mentioned method.

[Subacute symmetrical osteomyelitis].

An 11 year old girl who developed subacute osteomyelitis in both distal tibial metaphyses is reported. The diagnosis was difficult and the importance of a bone biopsy in the absence of positive findings is emphasised. Recovery followed prolonged antibiotic therapy. This case is compared with seven similar cases in the literature.

[Surgery of retrospinal disinsertion of the posterior cruciate ligament of the knee (author's transl)].

Thus in all cases of an isolated tear of the posterior cruciate ligament, with an interglenoid fragment, whe fixation by a screw or clip was carried out, we obtained good results by simple surgical treatment. In spite of the small size of this series, the results were in perfect harmony with those of other authors, which justifies surgery. In three other cases of a tear of the posterior cruciate ligament, orthopedic treatment was adopted for various reasons; comparison of the results was definitely in favour of surgery owing to the duration of plaster immobilisation and physiotherapy in the first group and the functional sequelae with chronic invaliding laxity in the cases treated conservatively.

[The small left colon syndrome. 3 cases].

In the light of three cases of neonatal obstruction related to a small calibre descending colon, the authors review the main clinical and radiological signs and compare them with the data in the literature. This functional disturbance is related to immaturity of the intrinsic innervation of the colon which is especially common in low birth weight neonates or of diabetic mothers. Diagnosis is dependent upon enema using diluted uroangiographic hydrosoluble iodine contrast medium, which shows a disparity in calibre at the left colic angle. The differential diagnosis lies with Hirschsprung's disease. Functional ileus in premature infants, meconium ileus and the "small left colon syndrome" are related to the same pathogenisis: functional immaturity of the colon.
