    Notes: Summary.  Yttrium has been used as the material of choice for synoviorthesis in our centre since 1984. An audit was carried out to determine the long-term results of this modality for treating elbow joints. An unacceptably high percentage of patients lost range-of-movements in the articulation treated. Good results were achieved with respect to a reduction in the bleeding incidences. It is suggested that another isotope be utilized and that other centres carry out an audit and publish their data.

    Synoviorthesis with radioactive Yttrium in haemophilia: Israel experience (2001)

    Notes: Radioactive Yttrium-90 (90Y) was injected into 163 joints. Of these patients 115 were persons with haemophilia and they suffered from recurrent haemarthroses. The median age at the time of the initial exposure to 90Y was between 11 and 15 years and the median follow-up period 11 years. Over 80% of the patients with haemophilia reported a decrease in the number of haemarthroses and 15% stopped bleeding altogether in the treated articulation. The safety of this modality of management has been reported and hence the patients age should not be regarded as a criteria.

    The epidemic of ankle fractures in the elderly – is surgical treatment warranted? (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Ankle fractures in the elderly are extremely common (up to 184 fractures per 100,000 persons per year, and of these approximately 20%–30% occur in the elderly). The medical literature contains no research that has investigated ankle fractures in the elderly. A prospective, randomised study was conducted of 84 patients with displaced ankle fractures, who were over the age of 65 years and were assigned to operative or conservative treatment after closed reduction. The results of treatment assessed according to the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Score showed a mean of 91.37 ± 8.96 in the non-operated group compared with 75.2 ± 14.38 (P = 0.001) in the operated group. The costs of treatment were accordingly higher. These results call for consideration of a non-operative approach to the treatment of well-reduced ankle fractures in the elderly. Increased efforts should be invested in the prevention of these common fractures.
