[Functional electrical stimulation instead of surgery? Improvement of grasping function with FES in a patient with C5 tetraplegia].

The aim of this study was to restore the grasp function of a tetraplegic patient with a C5 spinal cord injury (SCI) by means of functional electrical stimulation (FES). Using three pairs of surface electrodes and orthotic wrist stabilisation a simple palmar grasp was realised. The FES was controlled with a switch mounted on a wheelchair or-for the first time-with an EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI). Application of this stimulation system enabled the patient to drink for the first time after the accident from a glass without any additional help.

The wider application of Ender's nailing in fractures of the femur--a study of 60 cases.

Having had wide experience in the use of Ender's nails in 387 fractures of the femur based on the traditional indications, the authors decided to extend its use to more atypical and complex cases. They report their experience in 60 such cases, which again confirmed the extremely favourable conditions of fixation and biomechanical advantages of this flexible osteosynthesis.
