1. A series of 149 consecutive cases of flexor tendon grafting in the fingers and thumb is reviewed and the results are analysed. A description of the technique which has evolved from this experience is given. 2. Replacement of a divided flexor digitorum profundus in the presence of an intact sublimis

1. The descriptive anatomy of the tendinous component of the subclavius muscle is amplified. 2. The subclavius
We report 22 patients (19 women and three men) of mean age 20.8 years who had painful snapping sensations in the groin. Most were able to reproduce the click by extending the affected hip from a flexed, abducted and externally rotated position and most were tender in the adductor triangle. Plain radiographs and an arthrogram were normal. A clinical diagnosis of subluxation of the iliopsoas
Previous perfusion studies of the rotator cuff have demonstrated an area of hypovascularity in the distal part of the supraspinatus
Ochronosis, the musculoskeletal manifestation of alkaptonuria, is known to lead to degenerative changes of the spine and weight-bearing joints. Symptoms related to degeneration of

A lesion similar to that described by Bankart in recurrent dislocation of the shoulder was seen in seven patients with recurrent dislocation of the peroneal
1. Pain at the front of the radial side of the wrist may be caused by various lesions of the
The use of volar locking compression plates for the treatment of fractures of the distal radius is becoming increasingly popular because of the stable biomechanical construct, less soft-tissue disturbance and early mobilisation of the wrist. A few studies have reported complications such as rupture of flexor
We report four patients with a mean age of 17 years (14 to 22) with external rotation injuries of the knee in slight flexion. Radiographs showed a small fragment in the area of the lateral femoral condyle. At operation, the fragment, consisting of the femoral insertion of the popliteus, was anatomically reduced and fixed. At a mean follow-up of 35 months all the knees had an excellent function score. An isolated lesion of the popliteus often presents as a
We used demineralised bone matrix (DBM) to augment re-attachment of
We report ten cases of rupture of the distal part of the
Patella infera may occur after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), high tibial osteotomy and total knee replacement (TKR). Restriction of movement of the knee and pain may result. Our aim was to compare the incidence and to assess the effects of patella infera after TKR and unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR). We reviewed radiographs of the knees of 84 patients who had had either TKR or UKR as part of a randomised, controlled trial. The length of the patellar

In 14 rabbits we determined the origin of the cells effecting healing of the
We studied a cohort of 26 diabetic patients with chronic ulceration under the first metatarsal head treated by a modified Jones extensor hallucis longus and a flexor hallucis longus transfer. If the first metatarsal was still plantar flexed following these two transfers, a peroneus longus to the peroneus brevis
