RESUMO
The authors report the results obtained from a study of 41 cases of calcaneal fractures. Surgical treatment, when possible, is to be applied because it allows a satisfactory reconstruction of the subtalar and calcaneocuboid joint. The choice of various surgical methods is facilitated by computerised tomography which allows a precise assessment of the calcaneum. The quality and the stability of the reduction determine in a significant way the functional result.

The authors describe etiopathogenetic and anatomopathological characteristics of the carpal tunnel syndrome in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. In light of clinical experience early surgical treatment, which resolves the syndrome, is recommended.

The authors present a detailed study on the rectum-adductor syndrome, describing etiopathogenesis, physiotherapy, medical clinical and surgical treatment. They point out the importance of a wide knowledge of this syndrome commonly occurring to football players but occasionally found in players of other sports.

Based on personal experience gained in a parachuting centre (Pescara Aero-club) from 1975 up to 1988, the authors report their evaluation on chronic and acute osteoarticular lesions. The review of the cases was not based on the incidence of the lesions nor on their characteristics, normally found in common traumatology, but it was related to the dynamics of the trauma during the landing and to painful syndromes following a prolonged parachuting activity.

The authors present the results obtained on 28 tibial bifocal fractures surgically treated with Kuntschers' intramedullary nailing and P.T.B. functional plastering. Among these cases, 21 occurred at the orthopaedic and traumatologic Clinic of Siena University, while the remaining 7 patients were treated at Chieti University. The authors point out the validity of this method comparing in with other different techniques (Grosse-Kempf method, intramedullary fixation obtained with Ender nails, both associated with functional treatment).

The authors report their own experience on eleven cases of solitary chondroma of the hand, that occurred at the orthopaedic and traumatologic clinic of Chieti University. The patients were treated with curettage and spongy-cortical autoplastic bone-grafting or with injection of calcitonin and spongostan. No case had relapsing symptoms and the results obtained showed satisfactory improvements, even though with short-medium follow-up.
