The morphological changes in bone and articular cartilage destruction have been described in sixteen consecutive cases of rheumatoid arthritis in which biopsy material was obtained during synovectomy of the
Arthrodesis after the removal of a knee prosthesis is often hampered by the small area of contact of the bony surfaces and by pre-existing infection. Conventional systems of external fixation and compression frequently fail to achieve stability but the addition of the Wagner leg-lengthening apparatus applied anteriorly and adjusted to give compression ensures rigid external fixation. Four
We re-examined clinically and radiologically 88 patients with a fracture of the lower leg at a mean follow-up of 15 years. Forty-three fractures (49%) had healed with malalignment of at least 5°. More arthritis was found in the
