    Notes: Summary A new technique for the stabilization of metastatic cervical instability of the axis and/or neighboring vertebrae at lower levels is described. By a combination of the transarticular screw fixation C1/2 (Magerl) with the hook plate technique (Magerl) (or facultatively with a 1/3 tubular or 3.5 mm dynamic compression plate) from a posterior approach, the risks and stresses on the patient of a transoral or a combined extended technique are avoided, creating a proven biomechanically stable situation. The new technique is particularly helpful in those patients with a rapid progression of their malignant disease in whom local tumor growth is not expected to compress the spinal cord, and palliative stabilization of the unstable upper cervical spine can avoid neurological deficits or alleviate pain syndromes at a minimized morbidity due to surgery. The new technique has been successfully applied in a limited clinical series of four patients with metastasis of the cervical spine, resulting in substantial improvement of the general condition and cervical pain syndrome and stability of the assemblage during the observation period (4–9 months).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Taurolin-Gel ist ein resorbierbares Chemotherapeuticum, dessen Wirksubstanz Taurolidin (4%) uber 8–10 h nach der Applikation eine breite Baktericidie entfaltet. Zwischen 1980 and 1984 wurde die Substanz bei 51 Patienten mit akuter Osteitis zur lokalen Infektbekämpfung eingesetzt. Bei 45 Patienten konnte Infektfreiheit erreicht werden (32 Falle ein Eingriff, 13 Patienten mehrere Eingriffe). Bei 6 Patienten mit offenen Frakturen ging die akute Osteitis in ein chronisches Stadium uber. Die hohe Rate der infektfreien Patienten, die fehlende Resistenzentwicklung, geringer Aufwand and geringe Kosten erlauben den SchluB, daß Taurolin-Gel bei der Behandlung der akuten Osteitis eine gute Alternative zur Spülsaugdrainage and PMMA-Gentamycin-Ketten darstellt.
    Notes: Summary Taurolin gel contains the new broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic agent, taurolidine (4%), which is bound to denatured collagen and PVP. A strong bactericidal activity is seen 8–10 h after implantation. Between 1980 and 1984 this substance was used in the treatment of acute osteitis in 51 patients. A follow-up at least 6 months after operation showed: in 45 patients local and general signs of infection disappeared (32 patients, 1 operation; 13 patients, several operations). Six patients with open fractures developed a persistent fistula and required further surgical treatment. The high rate with which the osteitis is “healed”, the absence of bacterial resistance, complete resorption, and the possibility of reimplantation via drains are the advantages of Taurolin gel in the treatment of acute osteitis.

    Notes: Osteotomies of distal femur were fixed by intraosseous self-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid (SR-PLLA) plates in 29 adult rabbits. The follow-up times were from 3 to 24 weeks. After sacrifice, radiological, histological, microradiographic, and oxytetracycline fluorescence studies were performed. Although radiographically no redisplacements were found, in 12 weeks two fixations were broken and a fibrotic nonunion was observed in one case. At 24 weeks full bone consolidation was seen in all except one osteotomy. No foreign-body reactions were observed. The present article is the first report on successful application of absorbable plates for intraosseous fixation of weight-bearing bone osteotomies. The present investigation demonstrated that the SR-PLLA plates were suitable for the fixation of cancellous bone osteotomies in rabbits.
