Abstract
James Platt White, MD (1811-1881), one of the founders and leading figures of the Buffalo Medical College and a pioneer in American obstetrics and gynecology, suffered an interesting and remarkable accident to his neck at the age of 26 while traveling in a stagecoach in Western New York. He was confined to bed until after 45 days, a piece of bone was discharged into his pharynx and then expectorated. The segment of bone proved to be the anterior arch of his atlas (C1) vertebra. He recovered completely from this injury except for permanent loss of rotation of his head and neck. However, he was without functional disability until his death, 44 years later, at the age of 70. This case documents the clinical result during a 44-year period after traumatic loss of the anterior arch of C1. Such cases have been reported only rarely in the literature. Only limited information is available regarding the long-term clinical significance of a Jefferson fracture with exfoliation of the anterior arch of C1. My analysis suggests that White suffered an open Jefferson's fracture that became infected. The anterior arch of C1 became a sequestrum and was discharged spontaneously into his pharynx and then expectorated. This case report with decades of followup should be of interest to all who care for patients with cervical spine injuries and those who are interested in the history of medicine in Western New York.

Abstract
Forensic dentistry's role in solving homicide cases is not limited to victim and other human identifications. This science also can apply to perpetrators, human as well as animal, and can clarify historical incidents that occurred many years ago. In two cases more than 90 years apart, three African lions were jointly responsible for the killing of 141 humans for food, replacing their normal animal prey. A thorough dental analysis identified pathologies that may have forced the cats to select slower and less troublesome prey (humans) over their traditional food sources. The uncanny ability of these lions to avoid traps, ambushes, and gunfire while they continued to prey on so many well-armed and forewarned men remains unexplained.

Abstract
This article focuses on the differential diagnosis of pathologic lesions recorded on the limbs and crania of 17 subadults from two pre-European burial mounds in Tonga, western Polynesia. All affected subadults were between the ages of 6 months and 3 years at death. The lesions described consist primarily of subperiosteal new bone deposition on the limbs and endocranial surface. However, the presence of cribra orbitalia in a number of individuals indicates concurrent iron-deficiency anaemia. A differential diagnosis of haematogenous osteomyelitis, congenital syphilis, yaws, scurvy, hypervitaminosis A, trauma, Caffey's disease, and iron-deficiency anaemia is discussed. It was concluded that the most likely cause for the lesions observed is a synergistic relation between infection (weanling diarrhoea, yaws) and metabolic disease (scurvy and possibly hypervitaminosis A). Trauma is not ruled out as contributing to the development of some pathologic lesions. It is concluded that, in the Pacific Islands at least, multiple causes for skeletal pathology in subadults should be considered rather than a single aetiology.

Abstract
The National Museum of Health and Medicine was founded as the Army Medical Museum during the American Civil War to document the effects of war wounds and disease on the human body. Since then, the Museum has created a collection of documented pathologic specimens that can be used to study the gross and microscopic appearance of disease conditions. The Museum's collections are a vital link to the past and the future of medical research and form a unique national medical repository that is used continuously for research, education, and exhibit purposes. Today, the Museum in association with its parent institution, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, provides access to over 130 years of documented medical specimens. These specimens allow the unique opportunity to re-examine historical classification systems and disease diagnoses. The case of subacute chronic osteomyelitis with cortical sequestration of Private J. Potter from the Civil War is presented here.

Abstract
Chronic osteomyelitis is characterized by cicatrization of the focus of infection with deteriorating vascularization, which makes the disease increasingly difficult to treat. The treatment in chronic osteomyelitis consists primarily in surgical debridement of the scarified focus of infection; stabilization with external fixation allows better treatment. Following debridement, local antibiotic treatment is possible with gentamicin containing cement beads, if necessary combined with systemic antibiotic treatment. If the infection heals well, a reconstruction may, if necessary, be carried out: bone defects frequently necessitate bone transplantation, bone segment shifting (Ilizarov method) or free muscle flap grafts. In the future, resistant bacteria will make healing harder. There will be more possibility to use resorbable antibiotic vehicles and bone-replacing biomaterials.

Abstract
Contrary to contemporary opinion, the principles of muscle flap preparation and the use of muscle flaps for, among other conditions, chronic osteomyelitis were described in Europe in the 19th century. This article introduces significant works from the turn of the century which would have greatly contributed to today's knowledge had they not fallen into obscurity.

Abstract
Congenital syphilis has been diagnosed very seldom in ancient populations. The case that we examined comes from San Jeronimo's Church (17th and 18th centuries AD; Mexico City). Coffin 43 contained an incomplete skeleton of an approximately 2-year-old infant. The pathological lesions of this skeleton include bilateral osteochondritis, diaphyseal osteomyelitis, and osteitis and/or periostitis on the long bones. The radiographic appearance depicts symmetrical osteomyelitic foci, particularly at the proximal extremity of both tibiae (Wimberger's sign). The skull exhibits hydrocephaly and periosteal changes on the vault, and the unerupted upper incisors evince dental hypoplasia and other pathological alterations reminiscent of Hutchinson's incisors. All these features strongly suggest a case of early congenital syphilis.

Abstract
Analysis of mandibular roentgenograms of 286 patients with odontogenic osteomyelitis has lead the authors to a conclusion on the predominance of diffuse forms of the condition with marked sequestration in the 30's and 40's. Currently hyperplastic osteomyelitis occurs in 12% of cases.

Abstract
At La Neuveville (Switzerland) close to the Blanche Eglise a separately buried amputated leg from the 19th century was discovered. The pathological lesions of the knee joints are most likely due to a nonspecific infection (Osteomyelitis). However, postmortal defects made an exact diagnosis difficult. Two foot-amputated male burials were discovered on St. Petersinsel (Switzerland) in the monastery cemetery of the 11th to 15th century. The possible causes of these amputations are being discussed within the historical context.

Abstract
In 1893, C. Garrè published an article dealing with the manifestations of acute osteomyelitis. Since then, his name has been associated with diseases such as Garrè's osteomyelitis, chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis, and periostitis ossificans, among others. Scrutiny of a translated version of the original article reveals that Garrè was not responsible for the description of the disease that now bears his name.
