    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les auteurs ont étudié, de façon rétrospective, 376 accidents de parapente en analysant le mécanisme des lésions, les associations traumatiques et les possibilités de prévention. La plupart des accidents surviennent à l'atterrisage ou au décollage. Ils atteignent aussi bien les débutants que les pilotes experts. Les lésions prédominent à la jambe et, de façon préoccupante, au niveau de la colonne vertébrale. Grâce à la législation allemande sur le port du casque, les traumatismes crânio-céphaliques sont très rares. On doit distinguer deux groupes principaux d'accidents: les uns dus à la maladresse et aux erreurs de jugement du pilote, les autres conséquence du temps et du terrain. L'amélioration des connaissances des instructeurs et de l'entraînement des pilotes, ainsi que le bon sens, auraient pu prévenir la plupart des accidents. L'analyse des principaux mécanismes lésionnels et des associations traumatiques facilite le diagnostic et permet une meilleure approche thérapeutique.
    Notes: Summary In a retrospective study, 376 paragliding accidents have been analysed. Leg injuries were most common, but a large number of spinal injuries also occurred. The causes were either misjudgement by the pilot or the influence of weather and terrain. Improvements in the instructor's knowledge and the pilot's training could have prevented most of the accidents. Analysis of the mechanisms of the crashes and the pattern of trauma help to produce an efficient approach to diagnosis and treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 127 mit ALG vom Pferd behandelten Patienten wurden die möglichen hämatologischen und klinischen Nebenwirkungen erfaßt, ihre prophylaktische Verhinderung und therapeutische Beherrschung geschildert. Durch Anwendung eines exakten Therapieschemas in Kombination mit Azathioprine und Corticosteroiden nach sorgfältiger Patientenauswahl und versuchter Erzeugung einer immunologischen Toleranz gegen Pferde-IgG, ließen sich Häufigkeit und Intensität von Nebenreaktionen signifikant verringern. Dies wird im Vergleich zweier Patientengruppen gezeigt. Die für die Auslösung der Nebenreaktionen verantwortlichen pathogenen Faktoren werden erörtert. Da prinzipiell unvermeidbare, lebensbedrohende Nebenwirkungen bisher nicht aufgetreten sind, wird die Frage nach der ärztlichen Verantwortbarkeit einer ALG-Therapie bejaht, jedoch sorgfältige klinische, klinisch-chemische und immunologische Überwachung gefordert.
    Notes: Summary In 127 patients treated with horse anti-human lymphocytic globulin (ALG) the possible haematological and clinical side effects, their prevention and treatment were recorded. Frequency and intensity of side reactions can be reduced significantly by the application of a strict therapy schedule in combination with azathioprine and corticosteroids, careful selection of patients and induction of immunological tolerance against horse-IgG. This is shown when comparing the two groups of patients. The pathogenic factors of the side-reactions are discussed. Because principally unavoidable, life-threatening side effects have not been observed, the answer to the question of the ethical justification of ALG therapy is positive. Careful clinical, biochemical and immunological controls are postulated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 16 Fälle von teilweise dramatischen Unverträglichkeitsreationen nach Humanalbumininfusionen wurden untersucht. Die Reaktionen manifestierten sich als Fieberanstiege, Schüttelfrost, urticarielle Exantheme und Blutdruckschwankungen bis zum Schock. Sie waren durch Prednisolon günstig zu beeinflussen und klangen nach Absetzen der Humanalbumininfusionen restlos ab. Im zeitlichen Auftreten ließ sich eine Früh- von einer Spätreaktion unterscheiden, wobei die Konzentration des verwendeten Humanalbumins eine Rolle zu spielen schien. Frühreaktionen wurden bevorzugt durch 20%iges, Spätreaktionen immer durch 5%iges Humanalbumin hervorgerufen. Als auslösender Faktor konnten Verunreinigungen der verwendeten Infusionslösungen ausgeschlossen werden. Die Ergebnisse von Intrakutantestungen, Antigeneliminationstechnik, sowie der Nachweis von präzipitierenden Antikörpern gegen Makroaggregate des Albumin-Ultrazentrifugats sprechen dafür, daß eine immunologische Reaktion pathogenetisch von Bedeutung sein könnte. Möglicherweise läßt sich durch Applikation eines desaggregierten Humanalbumins das Risiko von Unverträglichkeitsreaktionen auch bei Gabe großer Humanalbuminmengen an allergisch disponierte Patienten verringern.
    Notes: Summary 16 cases of clinical incompatibility reactions due to human serum albumin (HSA) were recorded. The reactions consisted in increases in body temperature, sometimes together with shivering, urticarial exanthema and blood pressure changes as far as shock. They responded well to prednisolone application and disappeared completely after discontinuing the albumin-therapy. Regarding the onset in time, “early” (1 hour) and “late” (3 days) reactions could be distinguished; early reactions were mostly caused by 20%, late reactions by 5% albumin solutions. Pollutions of the administered HSA-batches could be excluded as an etiologic factor. The results of skin tests, antigen-elimination technique as well as the demonstration of precipitating antibodies directed against the concentrated macroaggregates of the albumin ultracentrifugation sediment suggest a pathogenetic influence of immunological reactions. Ultracentrifugation of the albumin prior to the administration might possibly reduce the risk of incompatibility reactions after high dose application in hyperreactive patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Anhand der anamnestischen Daten von 50 Patienten mit chronischer posttraumatischer Osteomyelitis wird eine Punktebewertung zur Beurteilung des Schweregrades der Erkrankung entwickelt, die neben der Gesamtdauer der Erkrankung den prozentualen Anteil der stationären Behandlung sowie die Anzahl der chirurgischen Eingriffe berücksichtigt. Zur Objektivierung des klinischen Verlaufes wird eine zweite Skala („München-Murnau-Skala“) vorgestellt, welche die äußeren Wundverhältnisse, die röntgenologischen Befunde sowie die Blutkörperchensenkungsgeschwindigkeit erfaßt. Anhand einer Autovaccinetherapie bei 18 Patienten wird die Objektivierung des Therapieerfolges mit Hilfe dieser Skala gezeigt.
    Notes: Summary From the anamnestic data of 50 patients suffering from chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis a severity scoring system was developed, based on the duration of the disease, the time of hospitalization and the number of surgical interventions. The clinical course of 18 patients, undergoing an auto-vaccination treatment, was registered by another scoring system (“Munich-Murnau-Scale”) regarding wound morphology, bone radiology and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 60 Patienten mit Osteosarkomen wurde eine histologische Auswertung von + bis +++ für Zahl der Mitosen, Osteoidbildung, Anwesenheit von mehrkernigen Riesenzellen und Tumornekrosen durchgeführt. Eine Unterteilung in osteoblastische, chondroblastische und fibroblastische Typen des Osteosarkoms (nach Dahlin) und eine histologische Gradeinteilung von + bis +++ anhand des Grades der Zellatypie wurde ebenfalls angewandt. In unserem Untersuchungsgut ließen sich keine Beziehungen zwischen den 3 Typen des Osteosarkoms und der Überlebenschancen erkennen. Es fand sich jedoch eine signifikante Beziehung zwischen Grad der Atypie und Zahl der Mitosen. Die Beziehungen zwischen histologischem Tumor-grad und Häufigkeit der Metastasen oder Chance für eine 2jährige Überlebenszeit waren zwar nicht statistisch signifikant, es ergab sich jedoch, daß Patienten mit Grad-III-Osteosarkom im Verlauf der Krankheit nur selten frei von Metastasen blieben. Außerdem zeigten Patienten mit Grad-I- und Grad-II-Osteosarkome häufiger als Patienten mit Grad-III-Osteosarkome eine 2jährige Überlebenszeit. Eine zusätzliche Charakterisierung des Osteosarkoms, neben der Stadieneinteilung nach TNM, durch eine histologische Gradeinteilung von + his +++ anhand der Zellatypien einschließlich der Mitosezahl halten wir für angeraten. Diese histologische Gradeinteilung mit möglichen Hinweisen auf die Prognose scheint uns eher praktikabel als eine Subklassifizierung des Osteosarkoms in verschiedene histologische Typen, die in einer vorausgegangenen Studie von uns erprobt wurde (Konrad et al., im Druck).
    Notes: Summary With 60 cases of osteosarcomas a histological evaluation from + to +++ was carried out for mitoses, osteoid formation, presence of multinucleated giant cells, and tumor necrosis. A subclassification in osteoblastic, chondroblastic, and fibroblastic type of osteosarcoma (according to Dahlin) and a histological grading from + to +++ based on degree of cellular atypism was also done. In our material no relations between these three types of osteosarcoma and chance for survival became evident. There was, however, a significant correlation between grade of atypism and rate of mitoses. Grading of osteosarcomas from + to +++ showed that cases with grade III osteosarcoma remained only seldomly without metastases during the course of the disease. Grade I osteosarcomas and also grade II tumors showed a higher number of patients with 2-year survival. However, neither correlation between tumor grade and incidence of metastases, nor with chances for survival were statistically significant. Nevertheless, characterization of osteosarcomas, by a histological grading from + to +++ based on cellular atypism and mitotic count is advisable, in addition to the TNM stages. This histological grading appeared to be more practicable than subclassifications of osteosarcoma by type which had been tested by us in a previous study (Konrad et al., in press).

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Posttraumatic osteitis is still the most important complication of bone surgery. In the last 30 years we have learned that antibiotics do not solve the problem. For 13 years Taurolin-Gel 4% has been used as a local bactericidal agent. Over 500 patients with acute or chronic osteitis have been treated. The overall results of the different studies show that in 86% infection free consolidation could be achieved.
    Notes: Résumé L'ostéite post-traumatique constitue une importante complication de la chirurgie orthopédique. Une expérience de 30 ans nous apprend que l'antibiothérapie seule est inefficace. Depuis 13 ans, nous utilisons le gel de taurolidine en tant qu'agent local bactéricide. Plus de 500 patients présentant une infection osseuse ont été traités. La revue des cas au dernier contrôle a montré un pourcentage de 86 % de guérisons de l'infection.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary An objective functional evaluation after acute repair of unilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture was performed in a homogeneous group of 37 patients at a mean of 44.4 months after trauma. A patient questionnaire, standardized clinical testing, instrumented laxity testing and concentric isokinetic muscle torque evaluation were included. Instrumented laxity testing proved to be closely correlated with the pivot shift test (r=0.54, p〈0.001) and the Lachman test (r=0.73, p〈0.001), but offered a far better resolution. The degree of anterior instability as measured could be shown to correlate negatively with the isokinetic flexor muscle torque (r=−0.61, p〈0.001) and the hamstring/quadriceps ratio (r=−0.44, p〈0.05). The intraindividual differences of instrumented laxity testing revealed that a significant degree of instability (〉2 mm) was present in 49% of the patients contrasting with the good result in the Lysholm score (mean=84.5 pts.) and a 74% rate of satisfied patients. Instrumented laxity testing makes a significant contribution to objective evaluation of functional results after ACL repair.
    Notes: Résumé Une évaluation fonctionnelle objective a été effectuée après réparation unilatérale de rupture du ligament croisé antéro-externe (LCAE) dans une série homogène de 37 patients, avec un recul moyen de 44,4 mois par rapport au traumatisme. Un questionnaire, un contrôle clinique standardisé, des tests instrumentaux de laxité ligamentaire ainsi qu'une évaluation du moment de torsion musculaire isokinétique concentrique furent utilisés. Le contrôle instrumental de la laxité ligamentaire peut être considéré comme très proche du test d'instabilité du pivot (r = 0,54, p 〈 0,001) et le signe de Lachman (r = 0,73, p 〈 0,001) mais est plus rapidement décisif. Le degré d'instabilité antérieure mesuré pourrait être considéré comme corrélé négativement avec le moment de torsion musculaire isokinétique concentrique (r = 0,61, p 〈 0,001) et le rapport ischio-jambiers/quadriceps (r = 0,44, p 〈 0,005). Les différences entre les sujets des tests instrumentaux de laxité ligamentaire révèlèrent qu'un degré significatif d'instabilité (〉 2 mm) existait chez 49 % des patients, ce qui contraste avec les bons résultats au score de Lysholm (moyenne : 84,5 points) et une proportion de 74 % de patients satisfaits. Ainsi le test instrumental de laxité ligamentaire apporte-t-il une contribution importante à l'évaluation fonctionnelle post-opératoire des ligamentoplasties du LCAE.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les auteurs décrivent une nouvelle prothèse fémorale modulaire associant une prothèse conventionnelle et un clou centro-médullaire. La prothèse est constituée d’une pièce céphalique et d’une partie diaphysaire fixées ensemble par un cône morse. Chaque pièce est modulaire selon les besoins en longueur et en diamètre. L’antéversion de la pièce céphalique est libre. Les pièces diaphysaires ont une courbure sagittale anatomique et sont creuses, permettant l’utilisation d’un guide centro-médullaire. Les pièces diaphysaires longues peuvent être verrouillées. Les pièces céphalique et diaphysaire sont en alliage de titane et la pièce diaphysaire a une surface grenaillée dans sa partie proximale. Le cône morse a été optimisé par l’adjonction d’une rainure qui a diminué l’usure par abrasion lors des tests de fatigue. Aucun démontage de la jonction intraprothétique et aucune fracture dé tige n’a été rencontrée lors de c es tests. La technique opératoire n’offre aucune particularité. Cent vingtquatre prothèses ont été implantées depuis 1990, principalement pour des fractures du col fémoral et des changements de prothèses totales de hanche. Les résultats cliniques sont en cours d’investigation. D’autres indications plus rares ont été choisies : pseudarthrose per-trochantérienne, fracture sur coxarthrose, chirurgie métastatique. Cette prothèse permet un ancrage diaphysaire stable dans les pertes de substance de l’extrémité supérieure du fémur, et autorise ainsi la repousse osseuse dans cette zone, spontanée ou après greffe osseuse, et la fixation proximale secondaire. L’optimisation du cône morse a permis de diminuer de façon considérable l’usure par abrasion. La modularité de la prothèse permet de s’adapter à toutes les morphologies et toutes les situations cliniques.
    Notes: Summary The development and clinical indications of a new modular femoral endoprosthesis consisting of a head and shaft component is discribed. Components are available in different lengths and diameters and therefore can be joined individually depending on the patients anatomy and surgery required. Both parts are joined by a unique optimized taper socket with a groove, avoiding fretting and corosion. Fatigue tests showed no loosening of the tapered connection and no prosthesis fracture. The advantage of this new modular prosthesis is diaphyseal stabilization, if necessairy by two distal interlocking screwes. Indications are revisions, pertrochanteric femoral and neoplastic fractures if cementless bridging of boney defects in the calcar region must be achieved. Further indications are femoral neck fraktures and coxarthrosis if stable diaphyseal fixation is required. The material and surface structure as well as the philosophie of the distal fixation are discussed.

    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).

    Notes: Summary Modern concepts of treating thoracic and lumbar spinal trauma are based on posterior transpedicular fixation techniques which confer angular stability and instrument only a few levels of the spine. In addition, to prevent secondary losses in postoperative reduction of kyphotic deformities, transpedicular resection of torn dises, and inter-and intracorporeal bone grafting are included in the repair procedures for the entire damaged motion segment. However, due to the small size of the pedicles, a transpedicular approach to the injured vertebral body is not possible in the upper thoracic spine. Patients whose thoracic spine trauma is not serious enough to require ventral instrumentation through open thoracotomy, but who present with an unstable vertebral fracture, may profit from additional ventral bone grafting to stabilize the fracture. The present study examined the feasibility of thoracoscopic ventral bone grafting in seven patients with unstable fractures of the upper thoracic spine. For primary repair, we stabilized the fracture by using posterior transpedicular screw systems (rods or plates). Simultaneously, spongiosa was harvested from the posterior iliac crest and deepfrozen. Repair was completed a few days later via a ventral thoracoscopic approach. The main location of the ventral osseous defect was identified by intraoperative radiology. After mechanical removal of destroyed connective tissue and disc material, fusion was performed using the previously harvested spongiosa, which was placed into the intervertebral disc space and the anterior osseous defect. Our results show thoracoscopic bone grafting to be technically possible and associated with low morbidity, with a potential of yielding satisfactory long-term results.
