RESUMEN
In the field of cervical spondylosis, cervicobrachialgia caused by uncovertebral joint arthritis has been well defined and classified, as it is seen quite commonly in clinical practice. Non-operative treatment relieves the symptoms in most cases. Operative treatment is used when the neurovascular structures are involved and the patient does not respond to conservative treatment. The authors present the surgical technique they employed on 38 patients with neck and arm pain due to uncovertebral joint arthritis, and they report the long-term results.

The authors show two cases of dissecting osteochondritis of elbow, confirming the frequent absence of a clinical symptomatology in the initial stages of such disease and the benignancy of its course. From a careful study of the casuistries present in literature, what emerges is the rareness of this location, together with a prudent therapeutical trend with periodic clinical and radiographical checkings, reserving the surgical solution to the cases of articular free body with episodes of block.

The authors performed 20 double contrast arthrographits in syntomatic patients after meniscectomy. The results demonstrate that the lesions occur more frequently in partially excised menisc compared with totally existed ones. In some cases no meniscal regeneration has been found for menisci excised 2 to 4 years before.

In the present work a case of alcaptonuric arthropathy is described. The rareness of such type of pathology has suggested us a re-examination of the ptrtaining literature; after a necessary introduction concerning the etiopathogenetic and anatomo-pathological part, we detailedly explain the clinico-diagnostical aspect. We subsequently document the case we had the opportunity to observe. Due to the seriousness of the articular involvement, we subjected it to radical surgical treatment, from which it enjoyed a real advantage.

The authors showed a method of treatment of the fractures of femur-neck under head, being persuaded of its validity, for the good remote results in the 38 cases shown, the lighter trauma caused to this type of patients, and the lower risk and operative care required.

The authors illustrated the principles of dynamic osteosynthesis applied to olecranon, showed the good results obtained in 40 cases, and pointed out the importance of the early mobilization on a stabilized fracture focus.

The authors showed 32 cases of resection of radial capital, inspected 2 years after operation, the results of which, as compared with those obtained through other methods, revealed a good remote validity. This is true in cases where no other important lesions, especially in the periarticular soft parts, were present.

The authors report the clinico-functional results observed in 109 patients subjected to removal of a total hip replacement. After remarking the progressive increase in the aseptic mobilizations recorded during the last years, and after shortly stating the criteria whereby the prosthesized patients are controlled along with the time, they detailedly set forth the results. In conclusion, the results recorded are generally satisfactory, although the operation for removal of the replacement is an expedient badly fitting subjects in young or, anyhow, working age.

The Authors report on treatment of patients with total prosthesis of the hip, in whom mobilisation of the prosthesis or one or both its components has occurred. In particular, stress is put on the results of the operation of removal of the prosthesis, which finds its major indications in cases of acute or remote, deep sepsis, and in case of aseptic mobilisation when the theoretical presuppositions allowing its substitution do not exist.
