[Surgical treatment of fractures of the distal end of the femur].

After considering the anatomoclinical aspects of fractures of the distal third of the femur, the Authors analyse the classification of these fractures. Different types of fractures were reviewed and they discussed the best orthopaedic or surgical treatment needed. Surgical methods were studied regarding sopracondylar and intracondylar fractures, which present difficult problems of reduction, contention and consolidation. The 23 cases operated on in the last 2 years were discussed by the Authors.

Femoral Fractures↗

Bone grafting in the reconstruction of the phalanges of the hand.

In severe traumatic lesions of the fingers with loss of bone in the phalanges it is possible to avoid amputation and restore a useful finger, using skin replacement followed by bone grafting and, where necessary, tendon and nerve grafting. The technique of bone grafting in the phalanges is described. This is the most important step in restoring the length and stability of the digital ray.

Bone Transplantation↗

Metacarpal loss treated by metatarsal substitution.

In the hand severe trauma and tumours are the most frequent causes of loss of bone substance in the metacarpals. To save the function of the complete digital ray repair by bone grafting is essential. A technique is described for transferring all or part of a metatarsal bone as a hemiarticular graft for substituting metacarpal bone loss.
