RESUMEN
40 patients with tibial plateau fractures were presented in this work. All these fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. The cases were followed up for an average period of one year and the results were assessed using a numerical score system. Excellent results were obtained in 27 cases [67.5%] of this series, good results in 9 cases [22.5%], fair in 2 cases [5%], and poor results in 2 cases [5%] of this series. Open reduction and internal fixation can be an ideal solve for tibial plateau fractures. Accurate anatomical reduction, stable internal fixation and early knee mobilization are achieved

Sixteen cases of congenital dislocation of hip joint with an age range between 9 months and 6 years at the time of presentation were operatively treated by open reduction combined with Salter pelvic osteotomy in one stage, to be followed 3 - 4 weeks later by varus derotation femoral osteotomy. The patients were followed up to 4 years after surgery and the results were all satisfactory. In all cases the joint was well reduced except in one case in which concentric reduction and perfect containment could not be achieved. No cases of avascular necrosis or head collapse were recorded. The range of movements was almost full in all directions apart from limitation of the last degrees of abduction and external rotation

Granulocytic sarcomas may develop during the course of, or as a presenting sign of, myelogenous leukemia. Rarely, however, an extramedullary neoplasm composed of poorly differentiated granulocytic cells occurs in patients without peripheral blood or bone marrow evidence of leukemia. We encountered two cases of granulocytic sarcoma [chloroma] of bone with negative blood and bone marrow finding. Before and after biopsy taking we were confused about the diagnosis and we had to review the literature. The aim of this work is to put this lesion in focus, so that orthopaedic surgeons may not be confused on facing such lesion
