Inguinal hernia operations in Germany.

There are not exact figures, in Germany, for the frequency of recurrence of hernia after an inguinal hernia operation. Due to a lack of statistics of our own, those of other countries will be used. The Bassini method is still the one most often carried out. Lately, however the Shouldice procedure has been increasingly used. In the case of femoral hernias, the Lotheisen procedure is the technique usually used. Absorbable suture material is predominantly used for the hernial sac and closure of the hernia. Haematoma is the most frequent postoperative complication.

[Significance of magnesium, copper and zinc in medial femur neck fractures in the aged].

The medial fracture of the femur neck is mainly a fracture of the old man. It is well known, that often only minimal traumas are caused for the medial fracture of the femur neck. Osteoporosis alone is not the reason for fracture. A deficiency in trace elements especially for the old patients is often discussed, but there are no exact examinations yet. For this analysis the concentration magnesium, copper and zinc was performed from 10 patients which got a medial fracture of the femur neck. Bone-biopsy and blood was taken when an endoprothesis was implanted. We could find a decreased zinc concentration in all bones. The copper and magnesium concentration in bone was not significant depressed. Both elements have a great individual spread. There are no significant alterations in blood levels of magnesium, copper and zinc in patients with a medial fracture to normal population.
