[Vertical talus].

Authors differentiate four etiological groups of vertical talus. In their material the congenital and symptomatic rocker bottom foot was rarer than the paralytic one. Good result can be expected mainly from the operative treatment. From 69 cases good clinical and radiological result was reached in 58, whereas in 6 cases the treatment had no result. It was their experience that a reduction of the talus and of the navicular bone can be reached by tenotomies and capsulotomies and by these a normal form of the foot can be secured. In the conservation of the operative results the significance of the organized care is stressed.

[Bone substitution with semisynthetic and natural apatite].

Authors demonstrate, based on animal experiment first in the literature of this country both the synthetic and the natural (coral) apatite as a bone substituting material. Complete and partial bone defects in 24 animals of the experience were filled with the materials examined. The speed of healing after the transplantation of the two implants, the mechanical characteristics of the healing bone (fracture solidity) are evaluated using both materials and in both types of the defect. It is stated that evaluable difference could not be observed from the viewpoint of the duration of healing between the two materials whereas considering the fracture solidity the coral substitution proved to be significantly better. The differences between the groups considering the complications (suppuration, pseudoarthrosis) are also assessed.
