1. The results of fourteen intertrochanteric osteotomies in thirteen patients with painful arthrosis of the hip with Paget's disease of the related bones have been analysed.

2. The findings suggest that osteotomy carried out in this condition before the femoral head collapses has much the same prognosis as osteotomy carried out at a similar stage of idiopathic osteoarthrosis.

1. A case of femoral artery occlusion after fracture of the femur occurring several days after internal fixation with a medullary nail is described.

2. Arterial reconstruction was undertaken seventeen days after the internal fixation, twenty-seven days after the injury, with restoration of flow and recovery of the limb.
