Specificity of the Oxford knee status questionnaire. The effect of disease of the hip or lumbar spine on patients' perception of knee disability.

There is a need for the accurate measurement of the outcome after knee surgery. The Oxford Knee Score is being increasingly used since it is reported to be short, simple, inexpensive and validated. We sent the questionnaire to 346 patients awaiting surgery to the hip or lumbar spine. Only 11% of 141 patients with proximal pathology who denied knee problems gave a maximum score. Their mean score was substantially lower than expected at 28.7 (maximum 48), and was significantly lower than the score of 36.5 obtained from patients after total knee replacement. We therefore suggest that the frequent coexistence of hip or spinal pathology will significantly alter both the absolute score and any improvement to be expected after knee surgery. Although sensitive to disability originating from the knee the Oxford Knee Score is not sufficiently specific since it is heavily influenced by more proximal pathology.

Is surgical treatment of lipoblastoma always necessary?

Lipoblastoma is an uncommon, benign mesenchymal tumor with an excellent prognosis despite its potential to local invasion and rapid growth. However, in the literature, a spontaneous resolution has never been reported, and, consequently, the need for a complete surgical excision has never been questioned. The authors report a case of a 2-day-old boy with congenital diffuse lipoblastoma in the left thigh, which forced us to withhold from surgical treatment to avoid the risk of mutilation in a patient so young. The lesion was followed-up by imaging, and a complete spontaneous resolution of the diffuse lipoblastoma was shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1-year follow-up. In the literature, a complete surgical excision is recommended. The results of this case suggest that a "wait and see" approach is justified at least in infants with huge invasive lesions requiring a mutilating excision.
