Operative correction of congenital vertical talus in nine feet in six patients is described. The operation consists of the comprehensive lengthening of the tendons in the foot and full peritalar release without excision of the navicular; it is performed through a dorsal transverse incision

A case of bilateral myositis ossificans in the biceps femoris muscles causing a sciatic nerve palsy on the left side is described. Complete recovery of the sciatic nerve followed excision of the mass of ectopic bone. It is postulated that the patient's hobby of weight-lifting caused the ossification

1. Thirty-three cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle are presented. 2. The lesions all occurred in the right clavicle and are thought to be due to abnormal intrauterine development rather than non-union of birth fractures. 3. Methods of treatment are reviewed. Excision and bone grafting is favoured

The problems of diagnosis and treatment of osteoclastoma are considered. The importance of full investigation, and the advantages of drill biopsy in confirming the diagnosis, are discussed. Treatment by radiation is believed to be better than treatment by surgical measures. Curettage and excision are unnecessary. Amputation for benign osteoclastoma is unjustifiable

We describe a surgical procedure used to achieve glenothoracic fusion after one-stage radical, near total scapulectomy for primary or secondary malignant lesions in six patients. The aim was complete excision of the lesion and preservation of the glenoid to provide a fulcrum for movement of the arm. Post-operative assessment involved determination of the range of movement and the application of the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society score and the Constant score to evaluate function. The results showed that a functional range of movement was attainable despite such radical surgery, although there was a considerable reduction in power and ability to lift

1. A case of dysphagia caused by a large cervical osteophyte is presented. 2. The literature from 1960 is reviewed, with special reference to the cases in which operation was done, and etiological factors are considered. 3. Excision of the osteophyte should in most cases be combined with fusion

An unusual bone tumour complicating Paget's disease of the mandible is described. At the time of local excision the histological appearances were those of a malignant osteoclastoma, but the tumour rapidly recurred as a chondrosarcoma, which spread locally and by metastasis, and caused death within six months

We report a patient who developed an aortic pseudoaneurysm in the L3–L4 disc space after lumbar disc surgery. The diagnosis was made by MRI and aortography, and repair using a prosthetic graft and anterior fusion was successful. We discuss the predisposing factors, the clinical picture and management of vascular injuries during disc excision

Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia to chondrosarcoma is rare. We report a case in which malignancy developed in an area of fibrous dysplasia in the ilium. We believe this to be the second reported case at this site. Treatment was by excision of the hemipelvis including the ala of the sacrum. A review of the literature is presented

1. Arthrodesis of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint combined with excision of those lesser metatarsal heads with fixed subluxation and painful callosities is an excellent treatment for painful hallux valgus with metatarsalgia. 2. A series of thirty feet in twenty-five patients is reported in which this combined operation was done

Seven patients with osteoid osteoma of the proximal femur were treated by percutaneous excision of the nidus. The combination of preoperative localisation by tomography and intraoperative localisation by image intensifier resulted in a curative procedure with minimal bone resection in all cases, although a second operation was required in one patient

The usual causes of pain after total knee replacement are well known, but there are a small number of patients in whom its aetiology is obscure. We report three patients with a specific pain syndrome caused by hypertrophic fibrous tissue in the intercondylar notch. Excision of this tissue relieved the symptoms completely

A case of duplication of the patella in the coronal plane is reported. Previously reported cases of double patella have shown sagittal or vertical duplication, and some have been associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. In our case, excision of one patella and realignment of the extensor mechanism relieved symptoms of giving-way

A case of bilateral congenital pseudarthrosis of the olecranon is described. The clinical features, radiological appearance and prognosis are distinct from the type of congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm reported previously. The lesion appeared to be a localised failure of ossification within the proximal ulnar metaphysis. Excision, stabilisation and bone grafting led to rapid fusion

We describe five patients with cervical spondylosis and large anterior osteophytes causing pharyngeal compression. All had dysphagia, two had obstructive sleep apnoea and another two had dyspnoea and stridor on inspiration. One, with perforation of the pharynx, required emergency tracheostomy. Only three had pain in the neck or arm. Compression of the retroglottic space was confirmed in all patients by pharyngoscopy and in all the symptoms were relieved by excision of the osteophytes. Three also underwent intervertebral fusion. One had some persistent sleep apnoea
