The infrequency of serious cartilage destruction in the joints of children makes it probable that the majority will recover with antibiotic and constitutional treatment alone, especially if a joint biopsy is performed. Synovectomy for children should therefore be reserved for those whose

Forty-five patients with fractures of the tibial spine were reviewed 3 to 10 years after injury in order to determine the degree of residual laxity of the cruciate or collateral ligaments. After fractures which had been partially or completely displaced, some anterior cruciate laxity was evident, even if patients were asymptomatic. It was also found that an anatomical reduction did not prevent either laxity or some loss of full extension of the
