[Treatment of infected pseudoarthroses with electrodynamic field therapy].

The electrodynamic field treatment, its method and fundamentals in the therapy of infected, atrophic pseudarthrosis are described. In addition to the common principles of treatment, particularly the transplantation of autologous spongious bone is of great importance. The bone graft reestablishes normal electrical conduction within the pseudarthrosis and as a reactive receptor for the applied a.c.-potentials consolidates the defect. Up to now in 8 years of employing this method 271 patients, suffering from pseudarthroses have been treated, 91 of them had an infected, often atrophic pseudarthrosis. In each group in 92% of the cases bony healing could be achieved. Some case reports demonstrate clinic and therapy.

[Ski injuries during growth].

Ski injuries during the period of growth are important as they are relatively frequent and may cause severe late complications (injuries of the epiphyseal cartilage). It is of utmost importance to develop safer skiing-equipment for children. Regarding therapeutic measures ski injuries in childhood and adolescence cause special problems, they must be treated with greatest care and exactness, if necessary surgically. In all cases of ski injuries in childhood and adolescence long term radiological checkup is necessary during the growing period in order to recognise and treat late complications as early as possible.
