Patellar angle in Osgood-Schlatter disease.

A new patellar angle is described in lateral radiographs of the knee joint. One line is drawn along the articular surface of the patella and another from the end of the inferior articular cartilage to the patellar apex. The angle formed by these two lines averaged 33 degrees in 68 knees joints afflicted with Osgood-Schlatter disease and 47 degrees in 71 age-matched controls and 198 adult controls. The small angle in Osgood-Schlatter disease is proposed to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of the traction apophysitis.

Mycobacterium kansasii and osteoarticular lesions.

Four patients with an unusual type of bone lesion are reported. The histological diagnosis in two of them was non-specific chronic inflammation and one case was diagnosed as chronic eosinophilic granuloma. On subjecting the material to culture Mycobacterium Kansasii (a photochromogen) were isolated. It is suggested that M. Kansasii are capable of producing osteoarticular lesions with a rather vague clinical and radiological picture not typical of osteoarticular tuberculosis.
