Tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing.

A series of 132 patients with 139 tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing is presented. Nailing was performed either primarily or secondarily and reaming was performed in most cases. A rigid fixation was secured in most patients. At followup of 124 patients the results were good or fair in 96% (107 had good results, 12 had fair results). Only one patient had a lasting poor result, while 4 patients had uneventful healing and ultimately good result after renailing.

Primary purulent meningococcal pericarditis with tamponade.

A case of primary purulent meningococcal pericarditis, presenting with hemodynamic derangement due to tamponade, is reported. Treatment was successfully fulfilled with antibiotics and surgical drainage, using continuous percutaneous subxiphoidal catheter drainage with the Seldinger technique. Less than ten cases of this potentially lethal entity have been reported in the literature.

Popliteal aneurysms.

Four typical cases of popliteal aneurysms are reported and the recent literature is briefly reviewed. The aneurysm should be operated upon once the diagnosis is made, whether symptomatic or not. The treatment of choice is proximal and distal exclusion of the aneurysm and a vein bypass, using the medial approach.

Intestinal angina. Report on two operated cases.

In spite of the fact that the concept of intestinal angina is more than 70 years old, it is not generally accepted and only 400 cases of elective revascularization of the celiac/mesenteric arteries are reported in the literature. Two typical cases of intestinal angina treated with elective revascularization are presented and the pertinent literature is reviewed. An aggresive approach to the problem, followed by adequate reconstruction, is recommended.

Popliteal vessel injury.

Popliteal vessel injury still carries a high amputation rate despite the progresses which have been made in vascular surgery. Three patients with such injuries treated with vascular repair are reported and a review of the recent literature is given. Prognostic factors as early diagnosis, delay in treatment, associated injuries as fracture/dislocation and venous injury, soft tissue injuries, adequate vascular repair, and postoperative complications are discussed.
