From 1988 to 1990, eighty operations on eighty knees of seventy-nine patients with a clinical diagnosis of meniscal tear was entered into a prospective study. The clinical diagnosis was correct in 76% of patients. Excellent or good results were achieved in 90% of knees which had only meniscal lesions but dropped to 70.5% when other intraarticular pathologies coexisted with the meniscal lesions....

We reviewed a series of 79 distal radial fractures with volar displacement which had been fixed internally using a buttress plate. The fractures were classified using the Frykman and AO systems; 59% were intraarticular. Complications occurred in 40.5% of cases; malunion was most frequent (28%). Functional recovery in patients with malunion was significantly worse than in those with good anatomi...

Dynamic compressive osteosynthesis using elaborated special device was performed in 182 patients with peri- and intraarticular fractures of various localisation. The biomechanical background that presented on the models fractures. Dosed compression provides gentle fragmets taking into account biological resorption site fragments contact till time fracture healing. Fixation stability allows to c...
