[Granular cell myoblastoma (apropos of a case with bilateral localization in the thigh)].

Granulo-cellular myoblastoma (MGC) is a rare disease, the nature of which is still discussed and uncertain. The authors describe a particular case with bilateral location at thigh in a patient suffering also from pigmental villonodular tenosynovitis (TSVNP) at the right thumb. This observation confirms the absolute benignancy, and supports the theory of the non-neoplastic histogenesis of MGC.

[The treatment of medical fractures of the femoral neck].

It is first stressed that medial fractures of the femur neck pose therapeutic and prognostic problems linked above all to biological factors. After reference to the criteria of classification adopted by Linton and Pauwels, the need to adopt fixed parameters in establishing the surgical indication is then asserted. These parameters are the patient's age, understood not only as number of years but also as general and psychic state, and the obliquity of the fracture line or its degree of decomposition. The Authors conclude by establishing four theorectical groups of patients and indicating the treatment they adopted for each group.

[Limits of prosthetic restoration of the hip joint and possibilities of recovery in failures].

The Authors report on treatment of patients with total prosthesis of the hip, in whom mobilisation of the prosthesis or one or both its components has occurred. In particular, stress is put on the results of the operation of removal of the prosthesis, which finds its major indications in cases of acute or remote, deep sepsis, and in case of aseptic mobilisation when the theoretical presuppositions allowing its substitution do not exist.

Aged

[Treatment of supracondyloid fractures of the femur with Judet's bone plate and screws].

Severe fractures of the distal end of the femur, which have become increasingly numerous as a result of the multiplication of road accidents, frequently require surgical treatment. The Authors, updating to 1979 the cases of the "G. Pini" Orthopedic Institute in the field of Judet's screw-plate, document the validity of this means of synthesis as confirmed by the quality of the results.
