Salvage of bilateral knee arthroplasties with Pseudomonas infection. A case report.

The treatment of infection after knee arthroplasty presents difficult medical and technical problems. Adequate control of the infection by appropriate antibiotic treatment and arthrodesis is no longer the only alternative to surgical management of the infected implant. Successful reimplantation can be achieved, although the quality of arthroplasty is often inferior to that of noninfected per primam arthroplasty.

A method of repair of late quadriceps rupture.

Delayed treatment of a quadriceps rupture is an infrequent but difficult situation. The fibrous degeneration and muscle retraction and subsequent hiatus present a challenging technical problem. A 54-year-old laborer with a 7-week quadriceps rupture was treated by a method that seems not to have been previously reported. At surgery there was a 9-cm gap that could not be approximated by either a Bunnell suture, or Codvilla lengthening of Scuderi inverted triangle. Repair was successfully accomplished by transposing the inner one-third of the patellar tendon. The tendon was split longitudinally and separated from the medial and lateral aspects in a distal to proximal direction with an osteoperiosteal flap. This was proximally sutured across the gap in the quadriceps mechanism. Eighteen months postoperatively there was no extension lag with knee range of motion of 0 degrees-125 degrees and good power.

Posterior compartment syndrome resulting from a dissecting popliteal cyst. Case report.

Calf swelling, associated with an intra-articular effusion of the knee, should be considered a dissecting popliteal cyst until proven otherwise. The posterior compartment syndrome caused by an increase in pressure within the deep posterior compartment of the leg is usually secondary to trauma. This case history of a dissecting popliteal cyst reports another unusual cause of the posterior compartment syndrome. Popliteal cysts, especially dissecting ones, are typical of connective tissue diseases, and are not limited to rheumatoid arthritis.
