[Personal experience with treatment of acetabular fractures].
The article presents a retrospective evaluation of a group of 119 patients treated for acetabular fractures between 1996 and 2002. ⋯ The treatment of displaced fractures of the acetabulum is on principle surgical. Satisfactory results are produced only by anatomical reconstruction of the weight-bearing area of the acetabulum. Surgical treatment is highly demanding and the long-term results not always correspond to the efforts made.

[Percutaneous osteosynthesis of scaphoid fractures: preliminary results].
To evaluate the results of percutaneous osteosynthesis of scaphoid fractures and to verify whether this approach is more effective than conservative treatment. ⋯ Our preliminary results show that, in indicated fractures types, the percutaneous osteosynthesis of a fractured scaphoid provides better functional outcomes than conservative treatment.

[Arthroscopic stabilization of a primary traumatic dislocation of the glenohumeral joint].
The authors present their experience with arthroscopic stabilization of a primary traumatic dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in young patients. ⋯ Arthroscopic stabilization of a primary traumatic dislocation of the glenohumeral joint in young patients (under 25 or maximally 30 years of age) is the method that allows us, invasively but with a good outcome, to reduce a high number of post-traumatic dislocations and to return sporting and/or manually working subjects to their previous way of life.

[Ewing's sarcoma in children--current surgical treatment options, evaluation of our patients].
Neoplastic diseases continue to arouse much concern in the general population. This also applies to bone tumors. Until recently, these neoplasms, most frequently occurring in children and adolescents, were considered to have the worst possible prognosis with a minimal opportunity for a successful outcome of treatment. This is a likely reason for the still deeply rooted belief that amputation of the affected limb is necessary and disease prognosis is uncertain, which also applies to Ewing's sarcoma. Only lately could these patients be offered a hope of successful treatment including limb salvage. ⋯ This study evaluated the current techniques of treating Ewing's sarcoma, with emphasis on reconstructive surgery leading to limb salvation and maintenance of its full function. The importance of this approach is obvious when we realize that the patients are mostly children and adolescents.

Case Reports[Treatment of patellar cartilage defects by solid chondral graft: first experience].
To present the results of a new method for treatment of cartilage defects of the patella, using a solid graft produced by chondrocytes on a three-dimensional matrix. ⋯ The aim of this paper was to define and check indications, to develop the surgical technique, to improve post-operative management and to evaluate mid-term results of the treatment of cartilage defects on the patella.
