Abductor deficiency in native hip joint may cause severe limping and pain. It is more serious situation in case of arthroplasty due to instability and recurrent dislocation. Well-known causes of abductor deficiency are repeated surgery, chronic trochanteric bursitis, superior gluteal nerve injury, failure of repair of abductor tendon insertion to the greater trochanter. Author had experienced p...

We report eight cases of fracture of the cuboid in seven children under four years of age, collected during a two-year period. There was no history of trauma in five of the patients.

Primary subacute osteomyelitis is difficult to diagnose, because of its insidious onset, mild symptoms, lack of a systemic reaction, and similarity with tumoral conditions. This condition is seen mostly in the epiphysis or metaphysis of tibia. Although it has been reported at various bones, its occurrence in the greater trochanter is rare. We describe two patients, 4 and 14 years old, with mild...

Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip is characterized by pain, limping and a progressive restriction in the range of motion of the hip.

The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis might be more easily understood and the efficacy of therapeutic measures might be more accurately assessed if a convenient animal replica of this disease were available for laboratory study. Intraperitoneal injection of homogenates of inflamed synovium taken at operation from patients with rheumatoid arthritis produces inflammatory swelling and deformity...
