Posterior interosseous nerve palsy. Report of three unusual cases.

Three unusual cases of posterior interosseous nerve palsy involving an entrapment mechanism are described. The findings in these three cases seem to support the view that PIN entrapment usually results from interaction of exogenous factors (occupation, pregnancy, compression during sleep, etc.) with anatomical anomalies at the level of the supinator brevis muscle.

High tibial osteotomy in osteoarthrosis of the knee (a long term clinical study of 187 knees).

This is a clinical research study of 415 cases of high tibial osteotomy in arthrosis of the knee, supported by radiographic and aetiopathogenetic data. It is the largest series with complete documentation so far reported in the literature. It is a critical study based on the clinical findings which marks the beginning of a work intended to evaluate the quality of the results during a period of 5-15 years following surgery (187 knees). The results so far confirm the value of the procedure and emphasize the importance of the fixed flexion factor in the probable pathogenesis of pain. It also shows that perfect axial reconstruction in the frontal plane is of lesser comparative importance.
