Clavicle malunion.
The clavicle fracture that has united with deformity or shortening may have an adverse effect on normal shoulder girdle function. We report on 4 patients in whom a malunited fracture of the clavicle was believed to be a contributing factor to shoulder girdle dysfunction. In each patient, the functional status of the involved limb was improved after corrective osteotomy at the site of deformity, realignment, and plate fixation.
[Use of the AO plate as external fixation].
There are severe bony lesions in trauma and orthopedic surgery which are difficult to stabilize with all the well known methods. The use of a ASIF-plate applied as an external fixation can be a good alternative in exceptional situations. Those cases are discussed.
Dislocation of the peroneal tendons.
It is our opinion that acute luxation of the peroneal tendons must be operated to prevent future disability. Chronic luxations of the peroneal tendons may be treated with a modified Kelly procedure, with anticipated excellent results. The diagnosis of acute luxations of the peroneal tendons continues to be difficult, and we hope that the guidelines listed in this paper will enable the clinician to be aware of this injury.
The effectiveness of infiltration anesthesia in the mandibular primary molar region.
The purposes of the present study were to determine the effectiveness of infiltration anesthesia in the mandibular primary molars, and how patient age, tooth location, and anesthetic type relate to the quality of anesthesia. Data were derived from 66 subjects, 42-72 months old, requiring restorative treatment in mandibular primary molars. Infiltration anesthesia was provided with mepivacaine hydrochloride 2%, prilocaine hydrochloride 4%, and articaine hydrochloride 4%. After 10 min, probing, rubber dam placement, and drilling were initiated. Procedures were videotaped and ratings of comfort and behaviors were made using the SEM scale and the Frankl Behavioral Scale. The conclusions were: 1) sixty-five per cent of the subjects experienced little or no pain; 2) children who demonstrated little or no pain during injection were likely to be comfortable during successive procedures; 3) there was a high relationship between children behaving cooperatively and comfort during procedures; and 4) the quality of anesthesia was not significantly related to tooth location, age, or type of anesthetic agent.
