Fractures of the shafts of the phalanges of the hand.

Fractures of the shafts of the phalanges are common and often disabling. Little detailed information is available as to the results of treatment, against which new methods of treatment may be compared. Thirty-nine comminuted fractures and 109 which were not comminuted were followed-up and their results are presented in detail. In both groups only about 57% obtained satisfactory results. Possible methods of improving these are discussed and the importance of accurate reduction of non comminuted fractures is emphasised.

Fractures of the phalanges of the hand in children.

Fractures of the phalanges of the hand were studied in 203 children. Fingertip fractures caused disability for three weeks but usually had good results. Comminuted fractures often took the form of longitudinal splitting. Epiphyseal fractures were mostly of the Salter type 2 and metaphyseal types and usually had good results: remodelling occurred in both planes at the base of the proximal phalanx but only in the sagittal plane at the base of the middle phalanx. Epiphyseal fractures at the base of the distal phalanx often had unsatisfactory results. Fractures of the neck of phalanx showed no remodelling at all and if deformity is not corrected it is probably permanent.

Fractures in previously abnormal parts.

This paper discussed fractures in defective or deformed bones, in stiff, wasted or anaesthetic limbs and at the ends of metal implants. Suggestions are made as to how treatment should be modified in these situations.

Acuaris skrjabini infection of the gizzard of finches.

Adult finches from aviaries in Victoria, Australia, were reported to experience a 4 to 5% mortality rate. Affected birds were lethargic and inappetant and had mild diarrhea for 1 to 2 days before death. Lesions found on post-mortem examination were gizzard mucosal necrosis, with an associated 30 to 60 Acuaria skrjabini spiruroids in each bird and surrounding inflammation. Treatment of remaining finches in the aviaries with either 80 mg of levamisole or 50 mg of fenbendazole per liter of drinking water for 3 days prevented further cases. Acuaria sp. infection can be an important predisposing factor in the mortality of aviary finches.
