Documented experience of treatment of digital nerve lesions with the termino-lateral (end-to-side) nerve suture is limited. Our clinical experience of this technique is detailed here alongside a systematic review of the previous literature. We performed, from 2002 to 2008, seven termino-lateral sutures with epineural window opening for digital nerve lesions. Functional outcome was analysed using the two-point discrimination test and the Semmes–Weinstein monofilament test. The results showed a sensory recovery of S3+ in six cases and S3 in one case. The mean distance found in the two-point discrimination test was 12.7 mm (range 8–18 mm). After a review of the literature, we were able to obtain homogeneous data from 17 additional patients operated by termino-lateral coaptation. The overall number of cases included in our review was 24. A sensory recovery was observed in 23 out of 24 patients. The functional results were S0 in one case, S3 in one case, S3+ in twenty cases and S4 in two cases. Excluding the one unfavourable case, the mean distance in the two-point discrimination test was 9.7 mm (range 3–18 mm). It can thus be concluded that the treatment of digital nerve lesions with termino-lateral suture showed encouraging results. Based on the results obtained in this current study we believe that in case of loss of substance, end-to-side nerve coaptation may be an alternative to biological and synthetic tubulisation when a digital nerve reconstruction by means of nerve autograft is declined by the patient.

Specialists from Children Orthopedic Clinic (CITO) and Institute of Medical Technology elaborated therapeutically active implants on the base of N-vinilpirrolidone and methylmethacrylate with different additives. Those implants were successfully applied in clinical practice. Experimental study on rabbits showed the possibility of implants to stimulate osteogenesis. Various types and shapes of implants were elaborated using different combinations of additives. Minimum invasive surgical intervention and indications to implants' application were worked out. From 1987 to 2001 one hundred thirteen patients with various pathology (obstetrical paresis, clubfoot, juvenile femur head ephiphysiolysis, congenital hip dislocation, funnel-shaped deformity of thorax, dystrophic varus deformity of femur head, osteochondropathy of lower limbs) were treated surgically using new implants. At 3-5 years follow up good and excellent anatomic and functional results were noted in 89% of cases.

We described clinical cases of scleral lenses fitting in patients with induced ametropia and have shown the efficiency of this optical correction. High functional results and comfortable use make scleral lenses the main optical correction method for patients with irregular corneas after refractive surgery procedures.
