[Evaluation of clinical tests in meniscal injuries].

The values of clinical tests in general use were calculated in a group of patients who were not selected in advance as suffering from meniscal damage. Arthroscopic examination was employed to control the diagnosis. Employing Smillie's, Bragard's and McMurrays's tests, it was possible to exclude meniscal lesions with 75-95% probability and these could be demonstrated with 25-60% probability. Böhler's test was not correlated significantly with meniscal lesions and the true positive nosographic frequency of Apley's and Jones' tests were so low that their value was limited.

[Subtalar luxation].

Fourteen cases of subtalar dislocation were reviewed after an average period of observation of 13 years (5-27 years). Ten dislocations were medial and four were lateral. Two dislocations were open and, in seven of the cases, dislocation fractures were present. No cases of avascular necrosis of the talus were found. Three patients developed severe arthrosis and arthrodesis was performed in two of these. In cases of subtalar dislocation without fractures or dislocation fractures which did not involve the joints surrounding the talus, the prognoses were good. In cases of open dislocations or dislocations with intra-articular fractures, the prognoses were less favorable.
