    Notes: Abstract Positive ulnar variance due to inadequate correction of radial length is a common disorder after radial corrective osteotomy. To avoid this complication we performed a combination of ulnar-shortening osteotomy and radial corrective osteotomy in 6 of 22 radial corrections. The indication for the combined procedure was a relative ulnar length of minimally 6 mm. The functional outcome was fair in 1 and good in 5 cases with combined osteotomy. Overall, the functional results were good in 17 cases, and pain in the distal radioulnar joint was observed in 3 of 22 patients. Positive ulnar variance was the reason for pain in only 1 patient. Eventually, 2 hemiresections of the ulnar head (Bower's arthroplasty) were performed. It appears that a combination of ulnar shortening and radial osteotomy is a reliable technique, which can reduce symptoms and need for secondary operations on the ulnar side of the wrist.

    Notes: Summary The ulnar impingement syndrome due to a relatively long ulna is one of the complications of a fracture of the distal radius. We performed ten ulnar-shortening osteotomies to restore distal radioulnar joint congruity. The mean relative ulna length was 4–5 mm. In-sufficient bone healing was encountered in four osteotomies. Replating and cancellous bone grafting was necessary in two cases because of nonunion. The functional outcomes were good in six, fair in two, and poor in two cases. Nonunion and poor functional outcome were related to a malunion of the radius with a volar radiocarpal angle of 20° or 25°. It appeared that incongruity of the distal radioulnar joint favored nonunion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Externe Fixation mit dem Wagnerapparat kann, dank seiner mechanischen Eigenschaften, für vorübergehende Immobilisierung des Kniegelenkes verwendet werden. Diese Methode ist vor allem geeignet für Patienten, bei denen Gipsimmobilisierung problematisch oder nachteilig ist. Der Wagnerapparat kann bei den folgenden Kategorien von Patienten angewendet werden: (1) Patienten mit Verletzungen von Knochen oder Bändern des Knies mit begleitenden Blutgefäß- oder Nervenverletzungen; (2) Patienten mit multiples Verletzungen des Beines (wie Frakturen von Tibia und Femur) und begleitenden intraartikulären Knieverletzungen; (3) Patienten mit septischer Arthritis des Kniegelenkes.
    Notes: Summary External fixation with Wagner's apparatus can, because of its mechanical properties, be employed for temporary immobilization of the knee joint. This method is especially suitable for patients for whom immobilization in plaster is problematic or disadvantageous. It can be applied to the following categories of patients: (1) Patients with injuries to the bones or ligaments of the knee which are associated with wounds or injuries of the blood vessels or nerves; (2) Patients with multiple injuries of the leg (e.g., fractures of the tibia and femur) and concomitant intra-articular knee injuries; (3) Patients with a septic arthritis of the knee joint.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Wahl der Behandlung von komplett dislozierten Frakturen der intercondylären Eminentia im Kindesalter ist kontrovers. Kürzlich schlugen Zifko und Gaudernak [14] eine neue Einteilung vor, in der sie zwei verschiedene Arten von intercondylären Frakturen unterschieden: Typ A: isolierte Avulsion des vorderen Kreuzbandes; Typ B: Frakturen unter Einbeziehung der intercondylären Eminentia. Um zu verifizieren, ob diese neue Art der Einteilung zu einer besseren Auswahl von Patienten, die einer chirurgischen Behandlung bedürfen, führen könne, wurden 19 Kinder zwei bis sechzehn Jahre nach erlittener Fraktur der intercondylären Eminentia wieder untersucht. Alle Patienten mit unvollständig dislozierten Fragmenten hatten ein gutes bis ausgezeichnetes endgültiges Resultat, und zwar dies unabhängig von der Art der Erstbehandlung. 11 Patienten hatten eine komplett dislozierte Fraktur. Bei zwei von diesen war ein mäßiges Ergebnis festzustellen. Beide waren Patienten, die bei einer isolierten Avulsion des vorderen Kreuzbandes konservativ behandelt worden waren. Alle konservativ behandelten Typ-B-Frakturen jedoch hatten ein gutes bis ausgezeichnetes Ergebnis. Es wird daraus geschlossen, daß komplett dislozierte Typ-A-Frakturen einer chirurgischen Behandlung mit offener Reduktion und Fixierung des ausgerissenen Fragments bedürfen.
    Notes: Summary The treatment of choice of completely dislocated fractures of the intercondylar eminence is controversial. Recently, Zifko and Gaudernak [14] introduced a new classification in which they distinguish between two different types of intercondylar fractures: Type A: isolated avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament Type B: fractures includingthe intercondylar eminence In order to assess whether this new classification could lead to a better selection of patients requiring open reduction, 19 children were reviewed 2–16 years after they had sustained a fracture of the intercondylar eminence. All patients with incompletely displaced fragments had an excellent or good ultimate result, independent of the kind of initial treatment received. Eleven patients sustained a complete displaced fracture. Of these, two had a poor result. Both had been treated conservatively for isolated avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament. All conservatively treated type-B fractures had an excellent or good result. It is concluded that completely displaced type-A fractures require operative treatment by open reduction and fixation of the avulsed fragment.

    Notes: Summary Bacterial translocation (BT) and release of endotoxin from the gut may contribute to septic complications in severely burned patients. In earlier experiments, it was shown in a burn model that BT exceeded the role of wound dissemination when burn wounds were colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Burn wound colonization with Pseudomonas aeruginosa also enhanced BT. It was concluded that endotoxin from gram-negative micro-organisms colonizing the burn wound appeared to play a role in the increased BT. In this study, the contribution of burn wound colonization with the gram-positive micro-organisms S. aureus and Str. pyogenes to BT and endotoxemia has been examined in Escherichia coli monoassociated mice with a 30% scald. The animals were sacrificed two days post-burn. The peritoneal cavity, the heart, one lung, the liver, the spleen and the cecum were cultured. Endotoxin in plasma was determined by means of the Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay. It appeared that dissemination of E. coli from the gut played a more important role than S. aureus or Str. pyogenes dissemination from the burn wound in this model. In only one of the 15 surviving Str. pyogenes contaminated animals dissemination had taken place from the burn wound. Dissemination of S. aureus was not seen in the S. aureus contaminated group. The incidence of E. coli translocation two days postburn, to the spleen (p〈0.05) and liver (p〈0.01) was enhanced in the Str. pyogenes group compares to the control group. Wound colonization by S. aureus did not increase the incidence of E. coli translocation. Endotoxemia was found in three of the 15 Str. pyogenes and in none of the S. aureus contaminated animals. In one of the 15 control animals, endotoxin was detected in plasma. These differences are not significant. The cause of the enhanced BT to the spleen and the liver in the Str. pyogenes contaminated group remains as yet unclear.
