In 1986, O'Hara and Pearson described a method of ankle arthrodesis using an auger. They reported eight cases, all of which fused successfully. The same method was used in this comparative study of eight cases. Successful arthrodesis was obtained in only three cases, while two developed a painless fibrous ankylosis. The remaining three cases were considered failures.
We report an unusual case of hypoglycaemia, in which a pregnant woman with a Rh-negative problem and random blood glucose levels of less than 10 mg/100 ml was found to have no clinical symptoms of hypoglycaemia. The patient, who had a blood glucose concentration of 7 mg/100 ml, behaved as normally as a person with the expected average physiological value. This finding did not seem to be connected in any way with the patient's serious Rh-ve problem. We have been unable to find reports of a similar situation in the literature available to us.
