Content and synthesis of nucleic acids in the cartilage in chondromalacia patellae.

The content and the synthesis of nucleic acids in chondromalacian, osteoarthritis and normal cartilage was compared. The chondromalacian cartilage differed from osteoarthritis in that the content of nucleic acids was less. Also, the cell density was less in chondromalacian than in normal cartilage as opposed to previous findings in osteoarthritis. The synthesis of DNA was greater in chondromalacian than in normal cartilage but less than in osteoarthritis. With regard to the RNA synthesis, however, the chondromalacian cartilage showed a higher rate than both normal and osteoarthritic cartilage.

Lateral dislocation of the patella following Marmor and Guepar arthroplasty of the knee.

The follow-up of 50 knees treated with the modular Marmor prosthesis and 50 with the Guepar hinge joint included tangential radiography of the femoro-patellar joint. After Marmor arthroplasty lateral patellar dislocation was found in seven knees, in six causing pain. After Guepar arthroplasty lateral patellar dislocation was found in 32 knees, but pain was present in only three. There was only a questionable correlation between pre-existing valgus deformity and postoperative lateral patellar dislocation, and an external rotation deformity of the lower leg was found in only five cases after Guepar arthroplasty. Thus, neither phenomenon could explain the high incidence of lateral patellar dislocation in the Guepar series. These dislocations must be assumed to be due to the unphysiological strain on the extensor apparatus inherent in this type of prosthesis.

Increasing incidence of tibia condyle and patella fractures.

The age and sex specific incidence of tibial condyle fractures and patellar fractures were compared between 1950-55 and 1980-83 in the urban population of Malmö. In elderly women there was an increased incidence over these 30 years for both fracture types.
