The author has seen one case of complete fracture dislocation between the 8th and 9th thoracic vertebrae without paraplegia. An analysis of the lesion was made by tomodensitometry. It is concluded that the absence of a lesion of the spinal cord was due to an associated fracture of half of the posterior arch of the 8th thoracic vertebra. The treatment was based on conservative reduction and fixation by a halo cast. A review of the literature has shown only one similar case.

We have excised six cases of osteoid osteoma in children, by using intra-operative accurate radioactive localization. The value of this technique is considerable and allows a better localization of the lesion. Exact detection and elective excision are the two advantages of this technique. We are reporting these case and describing the equipment being used.

We have excised four osteoid osteomas in four children, aided by intraoperative radioactive localization. Here we report these cases and describe the equipment used. Exact detection and elective excision are the two advantages of this technique.
