Chronic pain sufferers with vertebral osteochondrosis (altogether 80 patients) have been examined. The course of the pain syndrome and its intensity were studied with a modified McGill's pain questionnaire. The latter proved able to provide a reliable reflection of the pain qualitative and quantitative characteristics allowing objective evaluation of pelotherapeutic analgetic potential. A course of pelotherapy resulted in pain relief and improved values of its basic components under study. Introduction of the analgetic coefficient promoted gradation of pelotherapy-induced analgetic effect.

X-ray examinations of the bone and joint system in psoriasis patients with pain syndromes in the limb joints have revealed spinal involvement in many cases. The authors have distinguished and described x-ray semeiotics of the inflammatory (spondylitis, spondyloarthritis, sacroiliitis), degenerative dystrophic (intervertebral osteochondrosis, spondylarthrosis deformans, spondylosis), and mixed or combined (inflammatory + degenerative dystrophic) involvements of the spine in psoriasis.

A prospective survey of the outcome of lumbar surgery was carried out under conditions where all intervention was according to routine procedures. Of a consecutive series of patients 132 cases (92%) could be evaluated. The aim was to investigate possible predictive factors among self-reported data and clinical data readily available under routine circumstances. Follow-up was for six months post-operatively. Surgical findings were: herniated disc (62%), osteochondrosis (21%), other pathology (7%), and negative findings (10%). Unsatisfactory outcome was either relapse, operation before follow-up (9%) or persisting pain (30%). The surgical finding of a disc herniation predicted a significantly better outcome than any other finding. Cases previously operated upon (20%) fared equal with those operated upon for the first time irrespective of surgical findings. Self-reported weighting of preoperative pain and its location showed that predominant sciatica was significantly associated with the finding of a disc herniation, but also with satisfactory outcome irrespective of the operative finding. Factors without predictive value included sex, age, number of prior back surgeries, duration and impact of symptoms, and clinical findings. The social consequences were associated with the duration of low back disease.

Thirty one intervertebral space calcifications (I.S.C.) were studied in 21 children (12 boys, 9 girls), with mean age of 7 years; 25 calcifications had been followed for an average of 71.5 months. The main symptom was pain (Crisis) which relieved in a delay of 1 month in 70 per cent of cases. "Crisis" and radiographic fragmentation of the calcification are both criteria of going out of 18 calcifications, in a delay ranged from 28 days to 6 months. The calcification appears as a sign which disclose a general disease of spine, interesting vertebral body, growth plate, and disc; therefore we have observed 15 lesions due to growth disorders in 16 cervical I.S.C., at dorsal level we have described 4 cases of intrasomatic cavitation containing calcified material, opened in the intervertebral space. This growth disturbance has been noted either on first radiograph, or has appeared later, after disappearance of the I.S.C.; we found more over absence of listel and lesion of multiple plates distant from the calcification. This disease is identified to vertebral osteochondrosis where residual deformities are more worrying than the benign calcification; they have concluded management of I.S.C. as early as possible to avoid great deformities of vertebral bodies.

The article deals with thermography data collected for 94 patients with different clinical signs of lumbar osteochondrosis (reflex, radicular, vascular, radiculo-spinal). The features of thermograms were described as depending on the leading clinical syndrome of the disease. A lack of direct correlation between the severity of the pain syndrome and thermoasymmetry was registered. The data suggest wider use of the diagnostic capacities of IR-imaging techniques in patients with vertebrogenic pathology.

The study performed by the authors into the effect of low-frequency magnetic field on coronary heart disease, cervical and thoracic osteochondrosis arising in senile and presenile patients showed the treatment to promote improvement of the heart autonomic regulation and attenuation of ischemic and vertebrogenic pain, to augment response to antiarrhythmic treatment in coronary patients with extrasystoles, to compensate for negatively inotropic effect of propranolol hydrochloride, to increase exercise tolerance.

The treatment results relating to 57 patients with neurological signs of osteochondrosis secondary to sustained tuberculous spondylitis with the pain syndrome prevailing in the clinical picture were studied. The majority of the patients (50) had limited affections of 1 or 2-3 adjoining vertebrae and 7 patients had extended processes (4-6 adjoining vertebrae). The treatment procedure was based on manual therapy: hand strength applied to the vertebral column, joints and muscles for eliminating pain and other neurological signs of the disease. The treatment should be complex and differential in regard to the clinical signs, the disease process and stage, the degree of functional disorders and of the pain syndrome. The manual therapy was the most efficient in patients with osteochondrosis secondary to sustained tuberculous spondylitis or the muscular tonic syndrome and moderate deformations of the vertebral column, as well as in those operated on for the main disease at the early stages.

A white male, age 5, was seen on December 29, 1960, with Kohler's osteochondrosis. His limping and pain were promptly relieved by built-up shoes, with subsequent restoration of normal bony architecture. This clinical and roentgenographic result has been maintained over twenty-eight years despite a life of arduous activity.

A case is presented of arthralgia of the left knee associated with osteochondrosis of the tibial tuberosity (Osgood-Schlatter's disease). Orthopedic findings included normal active ranges of knee flexion and extension, but pain with passive flexion and extension movements. Radiographic findings included the presence of slight prominence of the soft tissue overlying the tibial tuberosity. Initially, management of this case consisted of conservative therapy to alleviate pain, inflammation and swelling. Subsequent treatments were designed to result in complete recovery from any discomfort in the knee joint/muscle/ligaments complex.

Using radiothermometry, a new noninvasive method based on recording the thermoradiation of tissues, the authors studied the in-depth temperature of tissues in 106 patients with lumbar osteochondrosis. A radiothermometer adjusted to a wave length of 30 cm was utilized. The accuracy of measurements was +/- 0.1 degree C. The findings showed an elevation of the in-depth temperature of lumbar tissues by 0.3 degree C as compared with the temperature of the mid-thoracic portion of the vertebral column. The elevation was maximal at the site of the involved intervertebral disc imaging. In the tissue of the leg on the side of pain the in depth temperature was 0.4-0.6 degrees C lower. The authors consider that temperature elevation in the lumbar tissue of the vertebral column is a manifestation of the attendant reactive inflammatory process while a decrease in the temperature of tissue on the side of pain is due to the neurodystrophic process with thermal disturbances. Decimetric radiothemometry may be used for the preoperative localization of intervertebral disk hernias.
