Controlled pressure casting of tibial fractures: a preliminary report.

A new method for the application of a Sarmiento below-knee plaster brace is described together with the results of its use in 22 fractures of the shaft of the tibia. Adequate control of the fractures was obtained and the rate of union appeared satisfactory. The range of movement of the knee and ankle at the time of removal of the cast were more than two-thirds the normal range in respectively 90 per cent and 80 per cent of fractures of the tibia so treated. Consequently, the need for physiotherapy was reduced.

The value of arthrography and arthroscopy in association with a sports injuries clinic: a prospective and comparative study of 182 patients.

A series of 182 patients who presented through an athletes clinic wih internal derangements of the knee have been studied prospectively with regard to clinical, arthrographic and arthroscopic findings. The diagnostic inaccuracies of arthography and arthroscopy are detailed. In this group of patients arthroscopy achieved the greatest overall accuracy, and is recommended as the inhitial investigation. Arthrography is advocated in cases where a suspected tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus has not been revealed by arthroscopy.
