[The role of Gardner's classification in the detection of dislocation in femoral neck fractures].

As the literary data are contradictory, authors examined in 489 operated femoral neck fractures the significance of Garden's classification. Based on their material it was found that this classification gives help in the judgement of the single fractures and in the choice of the adequate treatment. For a more exact assessment however they think the consideration of the lateral Roentgenograms also necessary.

Femoral Neck Fractures

[Problems of rehabilitation after femoral neck fractures in Hungary and possible solutions].

Authors examined the results of the 4 months rehabilitation of 753 cases of hip fractures treated in one year in their Institute. It was stated that a significant part of the patients had to be discharged too early. It is contributed to the inadequacy of the rehabilitation possibilities of the patients that 3/4 of those living after 4 months have complaints, only half of them can leave their flat, only 1/5 walks without a stick and 1/3 with one stick. On the basis of Swedish experiences they see the possibility of improving their results in a closer cooperation with the primary health care.

Femoral Neck Fractures

[Femoral neck fracture--selection of treatment method].

Authors followed for 4 months the life of 753 patients with femoral fractures of the hip and state, that with an extension of the operative indication the hospital mortality was decreased to the half during 15 years in spite of the further rise of the age. It is contributed first of all to the inadequacy of the rehabilitation that the later mortality is high and it is the double of that in the hospital: not more than 3 of 4 injured reaches the 4 months control.

Age Factors

[Results, problems and ways of future progress in the Hungarian trauma surgery (author's transl)].

Author after having given account of the importance of traumatology is dealing with the present situation of trauma care in Budapest and in the country side. The need of increasing the number of beds for trauma care is pointed out. Establishing regional centers would mean the up to date advancement in the management of injured. Out-patient treatment, instrumentation and postgraduated teaching is dealt with. Finally special profiles of trauma surgery are detailed the furthering of which seems especially important: intensive care, neurotraumatology, hand injuries and burns. As a final question the septic complications are mentioned meaning a problem not only for the traumatologist.

Accidents

[Corrective osteotomy in malalignment of healed fractures of the metacarpal and phalangeal bones].

As a result of improper immobilization in extension following phalangeal and metacarpal fractures, rotation and deviation deformities can occur. The functional disturbance and aesthetic deformities can be corrected with an osteotomy through the proximal phalanx of the metacarpal. The technique and results of this correction osteotomy are described. Prevention of these malunions by proper positioning at the time of primary treatment is emphasized.

Finger Injuries

[Ganglion in the ulnar nerve groove (author's transl)].

Two cases of a rare localisation of ganglion is reported in this paper. A ganglion in the ulnar nerve presented by complete loss in ulnar nerve function. Attention is drawn to the importance of early diagnosis, and to the fact, that in cases of ulnar nerve lesions of unknown origin tumors in the ulnar groove must be considered.

Adult

[Diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infections following hip injuries].

The authors studied the diagnosis and treatment of posttraumatic infections of the hip joint, based on their own material. In case of latent infection the increased sedimentation rate and taking of comparative X-ray films are held important, that shows a narrowing and disappearance of the sclerosed edge of the acetabulum. Following dislocation of the hip joint ankylosis may be attained, but after fractures of the proximal and of the femur the infection cannot be cured, unless the nail and the head of the femur are removed.

[Treatment of contracture of the finger joints by capsulectomy and spring-splints].

The treatment performed in 84 cases of contracted PIP articulations is reported, -in 50 cases the treatment has been carried out with spring-actuated splint and in 34 cases with capsulectomy. It has been found by the authors that the results of the physico-therapeutic treatment used so-far may be still more improved, -satisfactory result has been obtained in more than the half of the author's cases. The advantages of the use of the spring-acutatd splint as against Quengel's method are emphasized. Capsulectomy performed in very serious cases resulted in improvement of the articulation motion in 50% of the cases.
