We have reviewed the notes and radiographs of 57 patients with fractures of the proximal humeral epiphysis and examined 30 of them at 2 to 8 years after
Simultaneous dislocation of the elbow and the proximal radio-ulnar joint is rare. Two children with this uncommon
In the necropsy material presented there were, among 100 spinal injuries occurring during the past eight years, twelve in juveniles up to eighteen years of age. In all cases, the growth zone of the cartilaginous end-plate of the spine was fractured. The special histological architecture of the growth zones with their loosened fibrous lamellae might play a decisive role in the localisation of the lesions. The clinical importance of this type of

1. This clinical investigation compares the results with varying periods of immobilisation after the primary repair of extensor tendons over the metacarpo-phalangeal joints of the fingers. 2. One hundred and thirty-seven Bantu mine workers with such
1. A five-year follow-up of forty-one patients who sustained Colles's fractures was made. 2. The objective results were not so satisfactory as the subjective, but overall there seems to be no reason to depart from the present methods of managing these
1. Transient synovitis is an acute, and at times exudative, condition of the synovial membrane. 2. There is no particular association with
1. Three cases of metaphysial fractures in infants are described. Obstetrical trauma was probably responsible in two cases, and in the third case direct
We have analysed 31 malunited ankle fractures treated by reconstructive osteotomies. In all cases the malunited fibula has been corrected; this has been combined with other osteotomies and with fixation of ununited fragments as indicated. Our results show that, unless function was severely impaired, reconstruction was always worth while, no matter how long ago the
Acquired flatfoot deformity after
To synthesise the literature and perform a meta-analysis detailing
the longitudinal recovery in the first two years following a distal
radius fracture (DRF) managed with volar plate fixation. Three databases were searched to identify relevant articles.
Following eligibility screening and quality assessment, data were
extracted and outcomes were assimilated at the post-operative time
points of interest. A state-of-the-art longitudinal mixed-effects
meta-analysis model was employed to analyse the data.Aims

Forty-five patients with fractures of the tibial spine were reviewed 3 to 10 years after
A study of 79 children with malunion of forearm fractures is presented. Age at the time of
A review is presented of the results of treatment in 126 patients over 50 years of age who had suffered a displaced fracture of the ankle. Operative fixation achieved better fracture positions than conservative management, but was associated with a very high complication rate in women. Examination of 86 of the patients more than two years after
Eighteen patients with marginal depressed or comminuted fractures of the head of the radius, nine of whom had an associated posterior dislocation of the elbow, had a Silastic replacement carried out shortly after
The stress-tenogram is a radiological technique for the investigation of

1. Six cases of malunited anterior Monteggia fracture have been treated, five of them successfully, by open reduction and reconstruction of the orbicular ligament by turning down a slip from the triceps tendon. 2. One relapse occurred after a slight
