[Idiopathic recurrent proximal tibiofibular dislocation in adults. 3 cases treated by an original surgical technic].

Three cases of recurrent dislocation of the proximal end of the fibula were seen and treated by an original technique combining a fibulo-tibial screw and the creation of a pseudarthrosis at the upper end of the fibula shaft. The results were satisfactory. The authors have made a review of the literature and found seventeen comparable cases, ten in children and seven in adults. The authors describe the complications which may follow a tibio fibular arthrodesis or resection of the proximal end of the fibula.

[Lumbrical plus syndrome].

A rare case of paradoxical extension of the medius finger - the so-called lumbrical plus finger syndrome-is described. At operation was found a fibrous adherence of the third lumbrical at the sheath of the flexor digitorum profundus. Some of pathological mechanisms are discussed. A satisfactory result was obtained after the resection of the tendon of the second lumbrical.

[Treatment of chronic post-traumatic infections of the locomotor apparatus with methyl-polymethacrylate pearls containing gentamicin].

A new efficient method is presented based on the surgical cure of the infectious focus and the introductions of strings of methyl-polimetacrylate beads containing gentamycin. The method was demonstrated to be far superior when compared with both general antibiotherapy, and local antibiotherapy with antibiotic powder or with instillations of antibiotic solutions. The failures of this new treatment represented only 24.5% of all cases. The presence of gentamycin-containing beads in the infection focus provides constant and prolonged delivery of the antibiotic in highly bactericidal concentration.

[Osseous desmoid fibroma (2 case reports)].

Bone dermoid fibroma, described by Jaffe in 1958 is a benign fibroblastic tumour characterized by a remarkable tendency to expansion and to local recidives, without metastasizing. Some 38 cases have been reported to the present in the specialized literature. Two new cases are reported now, the first in the Romanian medical literature, one with localization of the tumour in the superior tibioperoneal metaphysis, and another located in the inferior femoral metaphysis. The first case recidivated after 3 surgical exereses over a period of nearly two years, and had to be amputated. The second case was solved by resection-arthrodesis of the Juvara-Merle d'Aubigne type, and is currently followed-up.
