[Fresh ligament injuries of the ankle joint].

Fresh lesions of the ligaments about the tibio-talar joint are quite frequent, especially laterally. An isolated rupture of the anterior fibulo-talar ligament, with an anterior subluxation of the talus, can only be demonstrated by stress films in a lateral direction and can rarely be seen in the ap-views. The suture of the fresh rupture is always indicated, thus preventing chronic instability and a disposition to arthritic degeneration of the joint. The point of view is uniformly emphasized by 12 Swiss orthopedic and general surgeons as well.

[Transitory algodystrophy of the hip].

Despite its relative rarity, transient osteoporosis of the hip deserves to be better known since it must be distinguished from more severe conditions, such as monarthritis or neoplastic bone disease, and its prognosis is always good. The typical symptoms are illustrated from two personally observed cases. This syndrome is characterized by hip pain, limping and osteoporosis of the femoral head with preservation of the joint space. The authors stress the benign development of the syndrome and warn against aggressive therapy.

[Lengthwise growth of the lower extremities after shaft fractures in children].

Clinical and orthoradiographic follow-up of 50 tibial and 36 femoral fractures in children at an average of 4 1/2 years post trauma has revealed the follwing trends: Increased growth is irrelevant with regard to tibial fractures. Most of the conservatively treated femoral fractures were shortened at the time of follow-up, most of the operatively treated were longer than the uninjured side. This may be explained by lack of primary shortening after anatomical reduction. The increased growth of the fractured femur was more pronounced after conservative than operative treatment, probably because of the more marked primary shortening. Increased growth of the femur is almost 50% less in children older than 12 years whether they are treated operatively or conservatively. Therefore anatomical reduction if necessary by an operation has to be achieved in children older than 12 years. Finally an account is given on the shortening effect of a dislocation ad axim and the radiological projection of this dislocation in two plains.
