Post-traumatic heel deformity.

The authors describe an apophyseal injury of the calcaneus in a child that resulted in a compound deformity consisting of three separate exostoses. These deformities were corrected by resection of the plantar exostosis and a closing wedge osteotomy of the body of the calcaneus.

[Neurological changes in Giedion's syndrome (tricho-rhinophalagia type I)].

Seven cases of type I trichorhinophalangeal syndrome which reveal peculiar clinical and radiologic characteristics are presented. Related neurologic findings such as mental and motor retardation in four cases and seizures in three of them, are analyzed. With the exception of three cases in which there was a probable hypoxic-isquemic brain injury, no organic cause could be related to the former findings. Only one of the patients presented no neurologic disorders. Although occasional descriptions of psychomotor retardation and seizures related to Giedion syndrome can be found, until now the relative frequency of neurologic disorders in these patients had not been emphasized.

Valgus deformity of the ankle joint: pathogenesis of fibular shortening.

An abnormal shortening of the fibula, leading to a valgus deformity of the ankle joint, is a common finding in the paralytic ankle. This article analyzes 173 ankles in which shortened fibulae were present. Analysis of several factors that interfere with fibular growth showed that soleus strength and anatomical continuity of the fibula are important factors in the normal fibular growth. Any factor that interferes with the normal balance of forces at the distal fibula physis can cause an abnormal shortening of the fibula and lead to valgus deformity of the ankle.

Musculoskeletal applications of three-dimensional surface reconstructions.

We have applied computer programs originally developed for craniofacial surgical planning and evaluation to complex musculoskeletal problems. These computer programs reformat ordinary CT scans into black and white images of the three-dimensional osseous surfaces found in the scanned volume. These reformatted three-dimensional CT scan images increase the utility of CT scan examinations of complex osseous structures, such as the wrist, spine, hip, knee, and shoulder. The software, which operates on an unmodified commercially available CT scanner, can produce high-quality surface reconstructions from CT scan slices without operator intervention. No special knowledge of the principles used in the reconstruction methods is needed to successfully use the programs.
