摘要:

The role of computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of the gluteal region was assessed. Six cases of gluteal masses were studied preoperatively by CT; several were also studied with conventional radiographic methods, including barium enema, cystogram, and intravenous urogram. Our case material included an epithelioid sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, endodermal sinus tumor, cystic hygroma, neurofibromatosis, and a normal variant. The conventional radiologic studies were normal or demonstrated nonspecific soft tissue density mass effect. By comparison, CT, with its cross-sectional imaging capability, provided unique diagnostic information. CT depicted the presence and origin of a mass, provided tissue characterization, and showed the extent of the lesion, often demonstrating the gluteal mass as an extension of an intrapelvic lesion. CT was valuable in monitoring tumor response to therapy, detecting recurrences, and excluding normal variants as the cause for a gluteal mass. The information provided by CT was important in treatment planning.

摘要:

All too often, the labors of manipulation and anatomical reduction of a supracondylar humeral fracture of the elbow requiring, perhaps, an hour or two, are noticed to be lost once the patients' follow-up radiographs are seen. It is our feeling that the reduction is lost when the forearm is externally rotated for the lateral view of the elbow. To prevent this, we recommend placing the X-ray cassette in the axilla to obtain the true lateral view, thus preventing the unsupervised rotation of the fracture.

摘要:

A method is recommended that facilitates the postmortem assessment of early stages of congenital or experimental paralytic and postural limb deformities, which otherwise are difficult to demonstrate on small specimens. One of the early signs detectable is change in the range of passive movements in the limb, and for its fine and objective assessment it is recommended that limb weight and gravity be used. Any disturbance of the original in vivo shape and position of the extremity during fixation of the postmortem specimen is prevented by suspension and free floating in the fixation fluid.

摘要:

The highlight of this meeting was the merger of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Study Group and the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society. This marriage of the two organizations, with a combined membership of 230 orthopedists, has been in the planning stages for more than a year and a half and was consummated at this meeting.The members of the new Executive Board are President, John M. Roberts; President Elect, Hugh G. Watts; Secretary, Kaye E. Wilkins; Treasurer, Hamlet A. Peterson; Members at Large, Newton C. McCollough III and Colin F. Moseley; Past Presidents, E. William Schmitt and Eugene E. Bleck.
