[Treatment of post-traumatic dislocation of the patella. Critical study of 29 cases (author's transl)].

The treatment of post-traumatic dislocation of the patella depends on careful examination. One should propose surgery in most cases, for not only one may leave a foreign body within the joint, but above all correction of the extensor apparatus is necessary in more than 50 p. cent of cases, to avoid a recurrence. The quality of the results depends on the preoperative analysis of the knee. Our study of 29 cases confirmed this.

Superior vena caval thrombosis and recurrent pericarditis caused by a bronchogenic cyst.

A 49-year-old man with a past history of multiple episodes of acute pericarditis was admitted with a recurrence of symptoms combined with the superior vena caval syndrome. A bronchogenic cyst, located beneath the carina, was discovered. At operation, the cyst was partially resected, and superior vena caval flow was restored by a Gore-Tex prosthesis. Ten months later the superior vena caval syndrome reappeared. Angiography demonstrated subtotal stenosis of the graft, which was considered to be thrombotic due to the discontinuance of oral anticoagulants. Reoperation, however, showed no thrombosis, but kinking of the graft. The folded portion of the prosthesis was resected, since when the patient has done well.
