[Surgical treatment of pain of meniscal origin].

Meniscal blocking of the TMJ is encountered by first trying to reduce it manually, if necessary under general anesthesia and curarization. Otherwise surgery is indicated. Meniscectomy is not recommended because of the danger of arthrosis. An arthroplasty is performed, the fibrocartilage removed and the condyle remodeled. The fibrocartilage regenerated totally, as could be shown experimentally. This intervention eliminates painful blocking of the joint and clicking during the first half of opening movements.

Long term follow-up of the sagittal splitting technique for correction of mandibular prognathism.

In a study of 67 cases the authors have investigated clinically and radiologically the long term results (5 years and over) of the sagittal split technique (Obwegeser 1955, 1957). Although 95% of the patients are satisfied, 60% have some impairment of sensation in the lower lip. This however goes unnoticed in 40% of these cases. The temporo-mandibular joint does not appear to be affected. 73% of the patients have excellent or good occlusion, while 18% have an unsatisfactory anterior occlusion due to some degree of relapse. The remaining 9% have poor occlusion without sign of relapse. A statistical analysis of the teleradiographs reveals that relapse is due to a rotation of the body of the mandible. Since several changes in technique have meanwhile been adopted, this paper will be followed by an analysis of the more recent cases.

[The role of orthodontic surgery in mouth rehabilitation].

The surgical treatment of malformations of jaws offers actually many possibilities. Basic principles of this specialized surgery are exposed: an exact diagnosis, the problem of incisions which must be hidden, age upon operation and association with other specialties. In the oral rehabilitation, this type of surgery permits total correction of complex malformations, which are impossible to treat completely by other methods.

[Osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle. Case report (author's transl)].

A rare case of osteocartilaginous exostosis, also called osteochondroma, is described. The resection of the tumor through an extra-oral incision is the treatment of choice. The follow-up covers a period of 4 years. No relapse was observed and postoperatively the function of the temporomandibular joint was practically normal.

[Hypersomnia with periodic apnea in a patient with acquired micrognathism].

A case presenting association of sleep apnea with daytime hypersomnolence and retrognathia is described. Sleep laboratory evaluation showed severe discontinuous hypoxemia and a mean of 250 upper airway obstructions. The patient was treated successfully by surgical correction of the retrognathia.

[Osteoplastic hip buttress in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip].

The results of 40 acetabuloplasties of the hip for osteoarthritis have been studied over a follow-up period of 6 months to 7 years. 12 patients have been treated by shelf arthroplasty alone and 26 by the same operation combined with intertrochanteric osteotomy. These operations, which are suitable for use in patients too young for a total hip prosthesis, give very satisfactory results in 80% of the cases, but the patients must be carefully selected. The clinical and radiological criteria on which this choice is based, and the technical peculiarities of the operation, are described.
