    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is one of the most challenging conditions in paediatric orthopaedics. The history of CPT treatment ischaracterised by repeatedly ineffective surgical interventions with the inevitable outcome of severe disability. Most procedures failed to account for the complexity of the problem. The past two decades have witnessed more experience having been gained with the Ilizarov technique. This method provides a comprehensive approach to all aspects of CPT problem, allowing the surgeon to simultaneously address the problems of union as well as those of deformity, length discrepancy joint function, ankle valgus and weight bearing. It appears that the goal to achieve stable fusion before the child begins school is attainable. In the pre-pseudoarthrotic stage, bracing should be preferred to surgery until the patient is in an older age group. This study reports on the results of 19 patients: 15 have finished treatment, and 14 of them with a stable fusion at follow-up. The results were highly encouraging in reaching the ultimate goal of avoiding amputation and achieving a well-functioning limb.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die kongenitale Tibiapseudarthrose gehört zu den schwierigsten Krankheitsbildern in der Kinderorthopädie. Anamenstisch findet sich bei diesen Patienten meist eine Vielzahl ineffektiver, operativer Eingriffe und letztendlich auch ein funktionell unbefriedigendes Ergebnis in Form einer den Patienten schwer behindernden Deformität. Bei den meisten dieser Behandlungsverfahren wird der Komplexität des Problems kongenitale Tibiapseudarthrose nicht entsprechend Beachtung geschenkt. In den letzten Jahren wurden deshalb Verfahren entwickelt, die eine erfolgreiche Behandlung ermöglichen. Es handelt sich dabei um den vaskularisierten Fibulatransfer und die Ilizarov-Technik. Letzterer muss unserer Meinung nach deshalb der Vorzug gegeben werden, da sie dem behandelnden Orthopäden die Möglichkeit gibt simultan sowohl Pseudarthrose, als auch Achsendeformität, Beinlängendifferenz, und Sprunggelenkvalgus zu behandeln. Weiter hat sich gezeigt, dass allzu frühe operative Eingriffe ungünstig sind und dass es sinnvoll ist, primär eine konsequente konservative Therapie durchzuführen, um im Alter von 3–6 Jahren operativ eine stabile Fusion der Pseudarthrose mit Korrektur der Begleitdeformität zu erreichen. Die vorliegende Arbeit berichtet über eigene Ergebnisse bei 19 Patienten, von denen bei 15 die Behandlung abgeschlossen wurde, wobei bei 14 Patienten eine stabile Fusion zum Zeitpunkt der Nachuntersuchung erzielt werden konnte. Die Ergebnisse waren sowohl klinisch als auch funktionell äußerst zufriedenstellend und lassen den Schluss zu, dass eine erfolgreiche Behandlung der Tibiapseudarthrose heute möglich ist und eine Amputation daher als obsolet angesehen werden muss.

    Notes: Summary 1.Unilateral habituation of the vestibuloocular reflex was produced in adult cats stimulated by repeated unidirectional velocity steps (vestibular training) or by a continuously moving visual surround (optokinetic training). — 2. Unidirectional vestibular training produced a strong asymmetry of vestibuloocular responses (VOR). Responses to velocity steps applied to the “trained” labyrinth were decreased both in gain and in time-constant. This effect generalized to responses to sinusoidal oscillations (0.03 Hz to 0.1 Hz), i.e. to a stimulus not used during training. — No spontaneous nystagmus was ever observed in spite of the dynamic VOR asymmetry. — 3. Unilateral vestibular habituation produced by vestibular training appeared to be a long-lasting phenomenon. It was still present 10 days after the end of training. — 4. Optokinetic responses were not affected by vestibular training. — 5. Unidirectional optokinetic training produced an increase in the slow phase velocity of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) by about 25% in both directions. This effect did not persist for more than a few minutes. A marked spontaneous nystagmus was recorded in the dark after each session of optokinetic training, with a slow phase in the direction opposite to the previous OKN. — 6. VOR in response to velocity steps and to sinusoidal oscillations were decreased unilaterally after optokinetic training. This effect was of short duration, however, and disappeared within the interval between training sessions. This lack of retention contrasted with the prolonged effect of vestibular training.

    Notes: Summary 1. A new description of vestibulo-ocular responses to angular velocity steps has been used to quantify vestibular compensation in right hemilabyrinthectomized cats. The amplitudes (VM and CM) and the times of occurrence (tM and to) from stimulus onset of the peaks of slow phase eye velocity and slow cumulative eye position were computed for velocity steps directed towards the lesioned side (clockwise, CW) and towards the intact side (counterclockwise, CCW). In addition, the values of these parameters were corrected from the effects of spontaneous nystagmus, when present. 2. In animals recovering in normal laboratory conditions, spontaneous nystagmus disappeared within 10 days after operation. In CCW responses, vm decreased by about 45% during the first 3 days and then remained stationary during the next 2 weeks. In CW responses VM showed a rapid increase during the first 3 days, and then remained stationary. After 2 weeks, VM increased in both CW and CCW responses. CM changes substantially reproduced those of VM. 3. In animals put in the dark immediately after operation, spontaneous nystagmus persisted until re-exposure to light (up to 31 days) and then disappeared rapidly. VM in both CW and CCW responses remained at a low value during the dark period and became more or less doubled after one week of exposure to light. CM also increased rapidly in CW and CCW responses, after re-exposure to light. 4. In the discussion these results are compared with those concerning activity of single vestibular neurons during compensation. It is concluded that vision is a primary factor conditioning disinhibition of vestibular nuclei spontaneous activity after the critical phase of compensation.
