[Results after surgical treatment of injuries to the capsule and ligaments of the knee joint (author's transl)].

Between 1974 and 1978 at the "Berufsgenossenschaftliche Unfallklinik" Frankfurt/Main 124 patients with lesions to the knee ligaments were treated; 117 patients could be followed up. All cases were classified according to the accident, the impact and the mechanism of the injury. The case-reports were supplemented by a graduation of the rotation stability and a general description of the own surgical technic and the postoperative care. For evaluation the surgically treated cases were divided according to the time they received treatment (immediately, early or late). All three groups were evaluated separately using the same objective and subjective criteria. It was found that the functional late results depended on the time of the first treatment. The findings led to the conclusion that injuries to the ligaments of the knee joint should be treated immediately by surgery.

[Initial experience in accident surgery performed in an operation theater equipped with ASID sterile filter partition screen (author's transl)].

The article reports on initial experience in accident surgery performed in an operation theater equipped with an ASID sterile filter partition screen. This filter screen is representative of, and corresponds to, the room-within-room solution with laminar airflow in horizontal direction. The advantages of this sterile filter partition in the performance of the broad spectrum of accident surgery operations are explained. During the first twelve months since we started using this screen, no postoperative infection was observed, whereas the infection rate in primarily aseptic surgery performed in the conventional operation theaters of the type normally used to date, amounted to 0.36% during the same period.

[Intramedullary fixation of fragments in soft-tissue injuries (author's transl)].

In cases of open fractures, careful reconstruction of the soft tissue and stable internal fixation are generally regarded as the best means of preventing infection. With this in mind, some of the author's own cases of open fractures of the upper and lower leg-stabilized either with conventional intramedullary nails or with interlocking nails-are demonstrated. The infection rate in the especially vulnerable open fracture of the tibia was 7.89 percent.
