Aims
Patients and Methods
Injury to the popliteal artery is reported in two patients with closed ligament injuries of the knee, and no fracture or dislocation. The importance of careful assessment of the circulation in this type of patient is emphasised.
Eight slipped upper femoral epiphyses in patients who had had radiotherapy are described. These cases involved five patients in an "at risk" population of 48. This increased incidence is highly significant.
