[Minimal invasive treatment of massively dislocated radial neck fractures in children by percutaneous joystick reposition and Prevot nailing].

Undisplaced fractures of the proximal radius can generally be treated conservatively with good results. In children, spontaneous correction of some angular deformities can be expected during growth. Nevertheless, more severely displaced fracture types may require reduction in children, too.

[Trendy inline skating sports. Pattern of injuries and groups at risk].

One hundred and eighty-two patients presented with 200 inline-skating injuries over a 30-month period. Of these, 14% were admitted to hospital, 10% required operative treatment. Fractures (49%), contusions/lacerations (27%) and capsular/ligamentuous injuries (16%) were the most prevalent types of injury.

[Behavior of artificially-induced epiphyseal groove defects. 3: Transplantation of autologous and homologous rib cartilage in Göttingen minipigs. Findings after a 16 week interval].

Drillholes of 8 mm diameter were made through the epiphyseal cartilage of the distal femora in 20 6-week-old Göttingen minipigs. The defects were filled with autologous or with homologous cartilage. This was intended to prevent epi-metaphyseal osseous bridge formation.
