We performed 52 cemented ankle arthroplasties for painful osteoarthritis (OA) (25) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (27) using an ankle prosthesis with a near-anatomical design.

We assessed the patients radiologically and clinically for up to 14 years using an ankle scoring system. The preoperative median scores were 29 for the OA group and 25 for the RA group and at ten years were 93.5 and 83, respectively. Six ankles in the OA group and five in the RA group required revision or arthrodesis.

Survivorship analysis of the two groups showed no significant differences with 72.7% survival for the OA group and 75.5% for the RA group at 14 years.

We report 12 patients with infiltrating muscular lipomas of the lower limbs all treated by wide resection. During follow-up averaging seven years, the tumour recurred in five patients. Our results and those reported by others suggest that, in order to avoid recurrence, this tumour, although benign, should be treated by total excision of the muscle or by compartmental resection. Hormonal imbalance was suspected in 9 of the patients but an oestrogen receptor analysis of the histological samples proved negative.

We compared goniometric assessment of passive ankle movement with radiographic measurements in 100 normal ankles. Significant differences were recorded in both dorsiflexion and plantarflexion; clinical measurements overestimated the range of movement. For scientific documentation of tibiotalar mobility, radiographic measurements should be used.

A consecutive series of 31 displaced fractures of the proximal humerus were randomly selected for treatment either by closed manipulation or by transcutaneous reduction and external fixation. Follow-up assessed the quality of reduction and healing as well as the functional outcome. The external fixation method gave better reduction, safer healing and superior function.

A new technique for the treatment of displaced fractures of the proximal humerus is described. Twelve fractures in 11 patients were managed by transcutaneous reduction using a Steinmann pin, and external fixation with a Hoffmann-type neutralising bar connected to two half-pins in the humeral head and three half-pins in the shaft. The pins were removed after four weeks. Two patients sustained redisplacement after a further injury, but in the others reduction was maintained. Two cases of pin-track infection resolved after antibiotics, but delayed union resulted. There were no neurovascular injuries and at follow-up of 6 to 12 months no refractures had been seen. The early functional results were excellent or satisfactory in nine cases.
