[Construction principles, strength investigation and early clinical results of the Integracja osteosynthesis system: a preliminary report].

The aim of this paper was to present the construction principles and strength investigation of the Integracja osteosynthesis system. Preliminary results of fracture treatment in 6 patients with hip and knee prosthesis are presented. Inc all cases bony union was obtained. Integracja can be successfully used in femur fractures near the tip of the prosthesis shaft.

[Traumatic hip dislocation complicated by soft tissue interposition--a case report and review of the literature].

Traumatic hip dislocation is by far less common in children than in adults. It occurs 4 times more frequently in boys than in girls. The force of the trauma leading to hip dislocation can be surprisingly small. Incomplete reduction is mainly caused by soft-tissue interposition or fragments of cartilage from the acetabulum. In such cases an X-ray examination will reveal a lateral protrusion of the femoral head. CT scans and MRI investigation play an important role in further diagnostics of the patient. The paper presents the case of a 5 year old boy with traumatic hip dislocation complicated by soft-tissue interposition. After an unsuccessful attempt of closed reduction, the hip was reduced surgically. The interposing element was removed--part of the cartilagenous insertion (size: 3 x 3 mm) of the femoral head ligament. During a follow-up examination 10 months post-op no signs of necrosis nor loss of ROM were noted.

[Possibilities of surgical treatment of knee joint in rheumatoid arthritis patients].

The aim of this work was to present contemporary opinions on the treatment of the knee joint in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Indications for synovectomies, osteotomies, contracture releases and some aspects of the knee alloplasty was presented. Special attention was paid on necessary of accuracy of patients qualification for different types of the surgery.

[Remarks on Gamma nail use in the treatment of trochanteric fracture of the femur].

Results of Gamma nail use in treatment for trochanteric fracture of the femur in 25 patients (15 females, 10 males) aged 45-91 years are presented. There were 12 type I, 9 type II, 3 type III and 1 type IV fracture according to Boyd-Griffin classification. Fracture healed 10-12 weeks after surgery in 24 cases; one patient died because of pulmonary embolism.

[Conservative treatment of trochanteric fractures in the elderly].

Treatment of trochanteric fractures, especially in patients who are advanced in age, presents numerous difficulties; the results of treatment are not always satisfactory. The aim of the study was to analyse the results of conservative treatment of trochanteric fractures in 50 patients (31 females and 19 males, 65-94 years of age), who were not qualified for surgery because of sclerosis, cerebral haemorrhage in the past, labile diabetes, senile dementia, an advanced neoplastic disease, circulatory and respiratory insufficiency, or refusal of agreement to the surgery. An adhesion of fracture was obtained in 43 cases (86%). 28 patients (56%) could move with no difficulties and did not suffer from any pain. 7 patients (14%) died (including 2 cases of neoplasm).

[Use of bone grafts in acetabular wall deficit reconstruction during total hip replacement].

Results of cemented and noncemented total hip replacement with the use of bone grafts are presented. Forty-nine hips in 43 patients were operated. Mean age of the patient at the operation was 53 years (range 38-64). The follow-up ranged from 2 to 4 years. It has been concluded, that acetabular bottom and wall deficits should be filled with bone grafts, preferably corticocancellous ones.

[Results of surgical treatment for Dupuytren contracture].

Early and late results of surgical treatment for Dupuytren contracture within 53 hands in 47 patients aged 19-72 (mean 58) are presented. Early results depended on magnitude of deformity and late ones (3-7 years after surgery) depended on recurrence of the contracture. In patients who had rheumatoid arthritis or the results were slightly worse; pathological changes within the hand were to blame and not the recurrence of contracture itself. No difference in histopathology of this condition was observed between rheumatoid arthritis-group- and ankylosing spondylitis patients.

Adult↗

[Treatment of the infected pseudoarthrosis of the tibia by the Harmon method].

The principles of treatment of tibial pseudoarthroses complicated by skin and soft tissue loss with the use of cancellous bone grafts from posterolateral approach to the tibia by Harmon method were discussed. The detailed surgical technique was presented. Management of 3 patients that resulted in bone union was described.

[Effect of age on the activity of hepatic mixed function oxidases in female rats].

Female Wistar rats aged 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 and 540 days were tested. The rough and smooth microsomes fraction of the liver were tested for protein, cytochromes P-450 and b5 contents as well as for NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase and two monooxygenases activity. Cytochrome P-450 and b5 contents and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase activity were increasing up to the age of 60 but aniline hydroxylase--up to the age of 15 days. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity exhibited a gradual decreasing trend with age. In senescent animals (540 days) the contents of cytochromes and monooxygenases activity were lower but NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity was higher, as compared to young rats.
