The surgical treatment of fractures of the upper end of the humerus by blind pinning (author's transl).

During a period of five years, the authors have treated 250 fractures of the upper end of the humerus. Fifty-one were treated by blind pinning. Six to eight Kirschner wires are passed up to the head of the humerus under X-ray control through a hole made on the posterior aspect of the lower end of the humerus just above the olecranon fossa. The functional results were satisfactory in 70% of cases. The indications for pinning were for severely displaced fractures, comminuted fractures, either impacted or not, or slipping of the upper humeral epiphysis. The results were less satisfactory in cases with an elevated greater tuberosity. The technique cannot be applied to fracture-dislocations.

[Subtalar dislocations with medial or lateral displacement (author's transl)].

The authors have observed 20 cases of subtalar dislocation, 16 with medial displacement and 4 with lateral displacement. The treatment given and the results are described. An experimental study has also been made which confirms that in medial dislocations the talo-navicular joint dislocates first whilst in lateral dislocations the talo-navicular joint dislocates last. The severity of assoicated lesions is emphasised. It is concluded that in severe displacement with complete extrusion of the talus, tibio-calcaneal arthrodesis gave better results than excision of the talus.
