[Acetabuloplasty by pedicled transfer of the iliac crest apophysis in the dog].

Appositional incremental acetabuloplasty using a self growing iliac crest graft pedicle on its epipyseal vessels was performed in 54 puppies 3 months old. Remodeling an adaptation to the shape of the acetabulum is excellent in most of the cases, issuing into a spherical composite cavity. Persistance of a hyaline cartilage is noted until the end of the first years, but long term morphological transmission electronmicroscopy studies demonstrate a progressive transformation into fibrocartilage. This experimental study demonstrates the possibility to use remodeling and growth properties of a pedicled iliac crest, transplanted as an iland flap on the extraarticular acetabular roof. This new surgical technique can be proposed for the care of difficult dysplastic hips in children.

Skin elastic fiber pathology and idiopathic scoliosis.

An antomic study of skin elastic fibers coupled with a histochemical and ultrastructural study of one peripheral muscle sample was performed in 34 patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Twenty-eight of them had an elastopathy resulting in rupture or disparity between the dermis elastic fibers. The muscle histoenzymologic study showed that 17 of the patients also had an abnormal predominance of type I muscle fibers. These data led to our discussion of the role of elastic tissue abnormalities in the genesis of early or severe idiopathic scolioses.
