The long-term functional result of exposed total knee arthroplasty, treated by flap cover, is presented and the results compared with those of a randomly selected control group. The wound was successfully covered and the prosthesis was preserved in 76% of cases, but the final functional score was not as good as in those with primary wound healing.

We have reviewed 106 patients after treatment for spontaneous rupture of the calcaneal tendon, and assessed the clinical results including the power of plantarflexion. In patients treated within 48 hours of injury the result was very similar in conservatively and in operatively treated patients. The incidence of major complications was higher after operation (17%) than in those treated conservatively (4%). Patients who were treated more than one week after injury, however, had an inferior result with respect to power of plantarflexion after conservative management. It is therefore recommended that calcaneal tendon rupture is treated conservatively with a plaster in full equinus when it is diagnosed within 48 hours of injury, and by operation when diagnosis has been delayed for more than one week.

Of a consecutive series of 144 Attenborough knee replacements, 107 were re-examined between two and six years after operation and revealed a high incidence of complications. Wound problems were common and led to deep infection in four knees. When a patellar implant was used fracture of the patella followed in 17.5% of knees, but when the patella was not resurfaced 16% of knees developed patellofemoral pain of sufficient severity to require a further operation. In 10% of knees, definite loosening of one or both of the major components occurred.

A review of 61 patients with dislocation of the lunate (some with and some without fracture of the scaphoid) showed that the majority had satisfactory results at an average follow-up of three and a half years. Most patients with a simple dislocation had a good or satisfactory result; radiological instability was noted in a quarter of the wrists but was not often associated with symptoms. Two-thirds of the patients with an associated fracture of the scaphoid had a good or satisfactory result. Immediate percutaneous wire fixation of the reduced scaphoid, whether it is fractured or not, is the best way of maintaining normal anatomical relationship while the ligaments and fracture heal; this may further improve the prognosis. In most cases extreme dorsiflexion of the wrist appeared to be the mechanism of injury.

Twenty knees, in which a total of 32 previous operations had been performed, were arthrodesed by the Charnley compression technique combined with intramedullary nailing. Patients with previous infection were excluded from the series, but three neuropathic knees were included. Bony union was evident after an average of six months in all but one patient who died three months after operation. One patient developed deep infection that resolved after removing the nail. The combined technique is simple and only limited bone resection is needed; it gives immediate stability and relief of pain with minimal morbidity.

In controlled clinical studies of adult diabetics a 42% incidence of signs of Dupuytren's disease was found. The incidence was highest in the older patients with a longer history of diabetes, but was not related to the severity of the diabetes. The features of Dupuytren's disease in the diabetics has a distinctive pattern, being more severe in men than women and, compared with controls, having a radial shift towards the middle finger. The disease was mild and of benign prognosis, rarely needing operation. In a further study, 13% of patients with Dupuytren's disease were found to have a raised blood glucose level. The question is posed as to whether the biochemical disturbance causes the Dupuytren's disease or whether the pattern of inheritance predisposes to both Dupuytren's disease and diabetes.

The relationship between meniscal tearing and degenerative joint disease was studied by macroscopic examination of 115 knees at necropsy. The incidence of meniscal pathology was 57 per cent. There was no overall difference in the severity and distribution of tibiofemoral degeneration, whether the meniscus was torn or normal. We found little evidence that degenerative meniscal tears cause osteoarthritis or vice versa.

Of 250 patients scheduled for meniscectomy 50 had symptoms which subsided and operation could be deferred; of the remaining 200 only 73 per cent were found to have a significant tear. It is shown that the risks of removing a normal meniscus far exceed those of leaving a tear in the posterior third. Statistical analysis of clinical features revealed no reliable diagnostic pattern.

Displaced fractures of the os calcis involving the subtalar joint frequently cause chronic disability due to subsequent osteoarthritis. Early posterior subtalar fusion may prevent this outcome. We have reviewed forty-seven fractures in forty-three patients at an average of seven years after operation. Over 90 per cent of patients had an excellent, good or satisfactory result.

The incidence of horizontal cleavage lesions of the menisci was studied in 100 random necropsy examinations. Sixty per cent of subjects had at least one such tear, the incidence being 29 per cent out of the 400 menisci. Eighty-five per cent of the subjects showed changes of osteoarthritis in the patello-femoral or tibio-femoral joint compartments. The coincidence of horizontal cleavage lesion and osteoarthritis was frequent. Horizontal cleavage lesions were commoner in medial or larger menisci and in males. Eighteen per cent of the menisci were calcified and this was twice as common in those menisci with a degenerate tear. Because the horizontal cleavage lesion was so common in the older knee, it must usually remain unrecognised clinically with other factors causing symptoms of night pain and tenderness.
