摘要:

During the period 1965–1976 44 patients at our institution underwent open repair of ruptured or lacerated Achilles tendons. Patients were evaluated as to delay to surgery, type of repair, wound complications, incidence of rerupture, symptoms, and postoperative range of motion, mobility, and strength. Average followup was 3 years. Functional results were generally good. Rerupture (2.8%) and wound complications (6.8%) were infrequent. We conclude that the benefits of surgical repair appear to outweigh the potential complications, when compared with the reported incidence of rerupture and loss of strength and endurance following conservative management of these injuries.

摘要:

A case with 1-cm distraction elongation of a child's thumb metacarpal 7 years after initial injury is presented. The thumb to long finger pinch was improved by this procedure. The metacarpal elongation has been maintained for 3 years. The mechanism of this repair appears to be ossification of connective tissue. Immobilization until bony union is complete is recommended to avoid loss of length gained.

摘要:

Biliary pleural fistula is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication of hepatic trauma. We report successful surgical management of such a problem in a 13-year-old along with a review of the literature, the importance of the demonstration of bile in a pleural effusion after thoracentesis in the diagnosis, and of an aggressive approach in management of biliary pleural fistulas.

摘要:

A patient who fell on his right leg from a scaffold presented with fever of unknown etiology. Complete workup to rule out infectious causes for his fever was nonrevealing. Because of a history of transient episodes of dyspnea, lung scan was performed which was compatible with pulmonary emboli. Response to heparin therapy was dramatic. Thus, in patients with history of trauma and are bedridden for a long period of time who present with fever one should have a high index of suspicion for pulmonary emboli.

摘要:

Direct and indirect trauma can cause injury to various portions of the pectoralis major muscle in varying degrees. Sprains and partial tears of the pectoralis major muscle are not uncommon. Surgical repair in acute injuries can often produce excellent results in selected patients. Complete injuries of the muscle tendon itself (Type HID) are best treated with surgical repair in otherwise healthy patients. Delayed diagnosis and delayed repair may prevent excellent results. A functional classification as presented here can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of these injuries.
