Mecanismo de producción de los quistes artrósicos : estudio morfológico sobre 19 cabezas femorales artrósicas
19 osteoarthritic femoral heads obtained during total hip replacement procedure were studies. Photography, x-ray with mamograph and optical microscopy were then carried out. The authors analysed osteoarthritic cysts at different stages of development. By successive cuts they were able to demonstrate the communication of the cyst itself with the joint cavity. The authors believe that the filtration of synovial fluid in the subchondral bone might stimulate the proliferation of conjuntival cells.

50 patients with Dupuytren's Disease (76 affected hands) are reported. The authors studied personal history and the association to certain illnesses (alcoholism, epiIepsy, diabetes, etc.). Tissue specimens taken during surgery of 12 of the hands were studied under optic and electronic microscope respectively, showing stenosans microangiopathy. The authors believe that the secondary hypoxia stimulate the colagen production and subsequent fibrosis.
