Forestry injuries and fatalities in New Zealand.
A series of 298 forestry injuries and fatalities were studied. The patients form three groups, those with fractures and/or soft-tissue injuries, those injured by chainsaws, and fatalities. Wide publicity is suggested in order to reduce the number of patients injured in forestry work.
Bent and broken femoral prostheses following total hip replacement: a case report.
The case of a 56-year-old man with a bent heavy, and a broken standard, Charnley femoral prosthesis, following total hip replacement, is presented. Both of these complications are uncommon, and as far as is known this is the first bent Charnley heavy prosthesis recorded. It is suggested that patients in the younger age group following total hip replacement should not expect to be able to lift excessively heavy weights, or to jump from any height.
Severe chainsaw injuries.
A survey of 47 patients who sustained severe chainsaw injuries has been carried out. It shows that this machine, while an extremely useful one, is hazardous. Most of the patients were young, and over half of the injuries involved a hand. One fatality was recorded.
Traumatic dislocation of the hip joint in children.
Between 1949 and 1972, 24 children under the age of 16 years were admitted to Middlemore Hospital with traumatic dislocation of a hip. Half of these were between 12 and 15 years of age, and there was a predominance of boys in the ratio of 7:1. A survey of these children supports the view that the hip joint of a child becomes dislocated more readily than that of an adult.
