Critical review of infantile fibrous dysplasia: surgical treatment.

A critical review of the surgical treatment of 65 patients with infantile fibrous dysplasia demonstrated that "circumscribed" types of the disease generally do not require surgical treatment, while "extended" types, as well as Albright's syndrome, require early surgical treatment aimed at preventing development of skeletal deformities which are difficult to correct later. Prophylactic intramedullary nailing with nails of suitable caliber is most effective.

[The Guyon's tunnel syndrome (author's transl)].

The Authors present two cases of compression of the ulnar nerve at the level of the Guyon's tunnel with a peculiar etiology. In fact, in the first patient the compression was caused by dilatation of veins accompaning the nerve and in the second case by the hypertrophic "piso hamata" ligament. The Authors also take the opportunity of making some pathogenetic and someiotic considerations this syndrome.

Post-traumatic reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the ankle and foot: a study of 32 cases.

The etiopathogenesis of reflex sympathetic dystrophy is still undefined, and diagnosis and treatment are difficult. It is the purpose of this study to propose precise diagnostic and therapeutic criteria for post-traumatic reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the ankle and foot. Diagnosis is pre-eminently clinical. Clinical progression of the disease occurs in three stages: acute, dystrophic, chronic. Radiographic examination cannot be used to classify the stage of the syndrome. Bone scan with Tc 99M methylendiphosphonate aids diagnosis, and helps establish the prognosis of the disease. Clinical symptoms and instrumental tests (x-ray, bone scan, CT scan, MRI) are discussed in relation to differential diagnosis with other pathologies of the ankle and foot. Furthermore, the effective use of drugs, physiokinesitherapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy is discussed. The authors present a study of 32 patients, paying close attention to early clinical signs of the disease. X-ray examination and bone scan were routinely carried out in established diagnostic protocols.

[Fibrous dysplasia of bone].

At hand of 5 clinical and pathological observations, the Authors report on the main features of fibrous Bone Dysplasia. Roentgenological and histological appearances are illustred. In some polyostotic and roentgenologically atypical forms the diagnosis must be histologically confirmed. As for the surgical treatment the Authors state that the result depends considerably on the patient's age.
