Camurati-Engelmann's syndrome is a rare congenital disease characterised by hyperostosis and sclerosis with a predilection for the long bones of the lower limbs. The authors report a case in an adult with a family history of the disease, and multiple localisations in the diaphyses of the long bones. The site of pain and greatest involvement of the disease was the right tibia and fibula. The aff...

Rotational deformity following intramedullary nailing may cause symptoms and require surgical correction by osteotomy. Reamed, locked intramedullary nailing may be performed, but concern about cortical blood supply and potential pulmonary dysfunction from reaming have led many surgeons to limit this and use smaller diameter nails. Slotted nails are commonly used but are less stiff in torsion th...

The paper describes a new CNC control unit for machining centres with learning ability and automatic intelligent generating of NC programs on the bases of a neural network, which is built-in into a CNC unit as special device. The device performs intelligent and completely automatically the NC part programs only on the bases of 2D, 2,5D or 3D computer model of prismatic part. Intervention of the...

Aseptic non-union is a major problem following complicated fracture tibia, which carries significant morbidity and prolonged course of treatment. Plate fixation and autogenous bone grafting has been established as a method of treatment. However the risk of infection, implant failure and donor site morbidity are high. We reviewed twelve consecutive cases of established non-union tibia treated by...
