Fifteen patients with radioscapholunate (RSL) fusion for traumatic lesions of the radiocarpal junction, whose short-term results have been previously reported, were reassessed after an average follow-up time of 8 years. Five patients had undergone wrist fusion because of non-union or early progressive arthritis. Of the ten wrists with retained mobility, eight continued to function satisfactorily. Two wrists were painful for reasons other than secondary midcarpal arthritis. Patient satisfaction was comparable in both groups with the wrist score better for wrists with residual motion. The survival of RSL partial wrist fusion corresponded inversely with the number of preceding operations and the range of motion before partial fusion. Secondary midcarpal arthritis, if present, arose early and was well tolerated. Failures were strongly linked to technical mistakes and complications.

The issue of strengthening the damaged linear reinforced concrete elements have been engaged since 2008. We focused on the analysis of resistance and the characteristics of limit states of serviceability in the damaged and subsequently strengthened elements at a short-term loading. In the introduction phase, the strengthening of the elements was carried out with the following procedures – installation of an overlayer on the coupling board or a combination of the board and use of glass – fiber fabric (GFRP). The strengthening was also affected by the type of contact (reinforced/non-reinforced) – the deformed element/coupling board and its effect on resistance, type of deformation and serviceability. In the non-reinforced contact, we applied some of the types of adjustments to the surface of the strengthened element. At the moment, we are dealing with the effects of time and repeated load on the strengthened elements. The results correspond to the reinforced contact. The values are compared with the short-term results of the strengthened beams and with the long-term results of the beams prepared for strengthening.

Conservative treatment of congenital clubfoot is generally accepted standard in the world orthopedic practice. There are many techniques that basically include functional methods and techniques of passive correction of the deformity. We analyzed 10 years of experience in the treatment of primary clubfoot according to three techniques - Zatsepin’s method, author’s method and Ponseti method. The evaluation of treatment results in the short and long terms was carried out. Analysis of long-term results showed a statistically significant advantage of Pontseti method over the other used techniques.

Initial Results

The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to results achieved in selected neurotic cases treated by short-term abreactive techniques in St. Clement's Hospital during recent months. Patients usually stay in for about two months; as yet it is too early to assess long-term results of this form of treatment, but it is felt that some of the initial results are extremely encouraging.

Abstract Biochemical remission after transsphenoidal surgery is still unsatisfied in acromegaly patients with macroadenomas, especially with invasive macroadenomas. Concerning the impact of preoperative somatostatin analogues (SSAs) on surgical outcomes, previous studies with limited cases reported conflicting results. To assess current evidence of preoperative medical treatment, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies. A literature search was conducted in Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Five randomized controlled trials (RCT) and seven non-RCT comparative studies were included. These studies mainly focused on pituitary macroadenomas though a small number of microadenoma cases were included. For safety, preoperative SSAs were not associated with elevated risks of postoperative complications. With respect to efficacy, the short-term cure rate was improved by preoperative SSAs, but the long-term cure rate showed no significant improvement. For invasive macroadenomas, the short-term cure rate was also improved, but the long-term results were not evaluable in clinical practice because adjuvant therapy was generally required. In conclusion, preoperative SSAs are safe in patients with acromegaly, and the favorable impact on surgical results is restricted to the short-term cure rate in macroadenomas and invasive macroadenomas. Further well-designed RCTs to examine long-term results are awaited to update the finding of this meta-analysis.
