Resection arthroplasty of the patella has been found to be a satisfactory procedure for the treatment of patellofemoral pain caused by osteoarthritis. In the present series 60% of the operated cases were pain-free on a 31-month average follow-up. The patients found it easier to climb stairs and to kneel and in most cases the
Transverse fractures of the sacrum with neurological complications have been studied in four patients illustrating the following features: diagnosis is often delayed, there are radiological difficulties in making the diagnosis, and the indications for surgery are not well defined. Specific

1. Two cases of Paget's disease of the calcaneum are reported; in both, the primary complaint was of pain in the heel. 2. In the first case there were no demonstrable lesions elsewhere, but in the second the typical
We report a case of systemic Penicillium marneffei infection in a Chinese woman who presented with multiple osteolytic lesions and
We report a case of late dissociation of a one-piece metal-backed acetabular component, associated with a prolific soft-tissue reaction to the polyethylene debris. The polyethylene liner was not visible on the radiographs. The metal-backed shell could not be removed because of bone ingrowth. We recommend that modular systems be utilised in cementless arthroplasty of the hip and that
1. A patient of sixty-eight suffering from enchondromatosis (Ollier's disease) is described. 2. A malignant tumour developed in the region of the lesser trochanter of the femur. Histological investigation established that it was an osteosarcoma. 3. Other features of interest are the
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the existing literature from 2005 to 2016 reporting on the efficacy of surgical management of patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) secondary to slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). The electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed were searched and screened in duplicate. Data such as patient demographics, surgical technique, surgical outcomes and complications were retrieved from eligible studies.Objectives
