Computed tomography of the cruciate ligaments.

Computed tomography was used to delineate the cruciate ligaments of the knee joint in 31 patients. Optimal positioning for demonstrating the length and body of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments is described and the CT, arthrographic, surgical, and clinical findings are correlated. The potential and limitations of CT and its role in combination with double-contrast arthrography in the clinical setting are discussed.

Double contrast arthrographic evaluation of the anterior cruciate ligament.

A review of 100 surgically confirmed cases indicates that double contrast arthrography, performed and interpreted with the described criteria, can accurately demonstrate the status of the anterior cruciate ligament. Visualization of the posterior cruciate ligament, which is less commonly injured, assures that proper radiologic positioning has been attained. Joint distraction is used to increase the visualized length of the anterior cruciate ligament coated by contrast agent. Various types of anterior cruciate ligament abnormalities as well as the high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament in young athletes are emphasized.

Spinal injury at the level of the third and fourth cervical vertebrae from football.

Acute traumatic lesions of the spine at the third and fourth cervical levels without associated fracture are not common. The eight lesions in this report occurred as a result of injuries sustained during tackle football. They included acute intervertebral disc herniation, anterior subluxation of the third cervical vertebra on the fourth, unilateral dislocation of the joint between the articular processes, and bilateral dislocation of the joints between the articular processes. The mechanism of injury was the use of the top or crown of the helmet as the primary point of contact in a high-impact collision when blocking, tackling, or head-butting. To avoid a seemingly inevitable increase in the incidence of these lesions occurring from tackle football, coaches and officials will have to modify the current techniques of blocking tackling, and head-butting.

Manifestations of the battered-child syndrome.

Between 1965 and 1972, 231 patients were admitted to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia with the battered-child syndrome. The case records and reontgenograms of 217 patients were reviewed. About one-third of the patients repuired orthopaedic treatment. The purpose of this paper is to alert the orthopaedist to the existence and prevalence of the battered-child syndrome, to describe both the non-orthopaedic and the orthopaedic manifestations of this problem, and to delineate the orthopaedist's responsibility to the battered child and the child's family.
