[The cast walking shoe combined with modern synthetic support bandages].

Rehabilitation with regard to mobility and function of immobilized lower extremities can be speeded up if the patient can move more frequently and freely with a loadbearing cast. This paper reports on the use of a new external cast system together with a cast shoe. Based on documented cases of empirical experience it is demonstrated that in many cases patients can return to work despite having to wear a cast.

Adult

[Tarsal tunnel syndrome].

The tarsal tunnel syndrome shall be discussed in view of the available literature as well as experience derived from 58 operative procedures. A compression syndrome of the tibial nerve should always be considered in cases of pain of the foot after trauma to the lower extremity and foot. The etiology, clinical presentation and treatment shall be described. Conservative therapy is indicated in mild cases with no accompanying EMG alterations, whereas operative treatment and perineural decompression is required for those cases resistant to conservative measures or those with EMG alterations.

Follow-Up Studies

[Reconstructive interventions in bone defects. A case contribution].

In this case-report we have shown the planning, treatment and result of reconstructional operations of bone defects of 5 operated and reexamined patients. Both the extent of the implantation, the bed of the implantation, the bone graft and the fixation are important. The superiority of the cortico-spongious splinter shall be emphasized. With respect to clinical and x-ray controlled examination the healing process results were good, requiring an individual treatment for each single case.

Adolescent

[Rare indications, fractures with endoprostheses, complications. Problem cases of hip endoprosthesis].

On the basis of a few examples some critical cases in the practice of hip-joint replacement are presented. In the field of traumatology indications are rare for the implantation of a tumour prosthesis. Recovery in case of new fractures after an arthroplasty of the hip demands procedures according to the individual case. One example of a rare complication at a later time, with Palacos material perforating into the pelvis and subsequent intestinal obstructions (ileus), is also presented.
