[Calcaneal spur].

The clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment of calcaneal spurs are described on the basis of 190 cases (102 females and 88 males whose ages ranged from 38 to 79 years). All were treated by local administration of various steroid hormones. A good immediate result was produced by a single administration of the hormone in 90% of cases; the favourable result persisted in the late-term periods in 78 persons. The author claims hormone therapy to be the most effective among all the known methods of nonoperative treatment of calcaneal spurs and recommends it for a wide surgical practice.

[Treatment of instability of the knee joint].

The authors present a study of problems of the surgical treatment of acute and chronic instabilities of the knee joint. In cases of recent injuries 32 operations of restoration of the cruciate ligaments and the bursal and ligamentous apparatus were made: in most cases the long-term results were good. The authors believe that timely and adequate treatment of the patients during the acute stage of the disease will allow to bring the problem of the treatment of chronic instability of the knee joint in most patients closer to its practical solution. In primarily anterior and posterior chronic instability associated with a light degree of lateral instability an operation after Augustino is advised, particularly as modified by the authors, as an independent operation or as one of the elements in complex reconstructive operations in the multiplane forms of instability of the knee joint. A detailed description of the surgical technique is given.
