1. Six thousand consecutive newborn babies were personally examined by the author for congenital dislocation of the hip. Twenty-four cases were diagnosed and twenty-three treated.

2. Twenty-two of the twenty-three treated cases had excellent results after treatment in the von Rosen splint.

3. The baby should be five days old before a final decision is made as to whether treatment is necessary.

4. A further twenty-seven babies were found to have unstable hips. Eighteen of these were followed up and all were found to have developed normally without treatment.

5. The technique of examination is simple and quick but it is desirable that it should be carried out in each maternity unit by only one or two doctors.

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 injuries by manipulation and immobilisation in plaster.

3. Colles's belief that in time the patient would regain full painless function irrespective of how the fracture was treated seems to be vindicated.
