1. Six patients are reported in whom ischaemic muscle contractures followed prolonged external pressure.

2. Systemic hypoxaemia may be a predisposing factor in patients with overdoses of central nervous system depressants.

3. If treatment is to be successful, early diagnosis is required, and the most important factor is an awareness of the condition.

4. The treatment of the late case is discussed.

1. Thirty-nine displaced fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in children are reported. In one-third of the children the injury was accompanied by postero-lateral dislocation of the elbow. In some cases there was evidence that dislocation had occurred even when there was little persistent displacement of the condylar fragment.

2. All the fractures were treated by internal fixation with a specially designed screw. Thirtyfive children attended for review.

3. lt is concluded that all displaced fractures should be treated by internal fixation and that the method described is simple and reliable. Undisplaced fractures, or those with little displacement, may be treated conservatively when there is no evidence of associated dislocation of the elbow.

1. Methods of correcting flexion contractures of the knee following poliomyelitis fail if posterior subluxation of the tibia is allowed to occur.

2. Careful serial manipulations will give straight, congruous joints in younger patients. Posterior capsulotomy does not facilitate correction.

3. Supracondylar femoral osteotomy is indicated in children over fifteen and in adults, although sometimes arthrodesis of the knee is necessary.

1. A family study of sixty-one children with infantile idiopathic scoliosis to determine the relationship of other developmental anomalies to the behaviour of the curve is reported.

2. Of the thirty-nine children with resolving curves only one had another defect.

3. Twelve out of twenty-two children with non-resolving curves had at least one other developmental anomaly.

4. The presence of such defects may indicate that the curve is likely to progress.
