[Gluing of the Achilles tendon with a fibrin adhesive].

Reported in this paper are clinical findings and results obtained from follow-up checks, using computed tomography, in the wake of fibrin adhesive treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures. Complaints had almost completely disappeared from 27 in 35 patients who had undergone the above operations, between 1981 and 1985. These findings were confirmed by functional follow-up examinations. Investigations of Achilles tendons, using computed tomography, revealed increase in both tendon cross-section and density, within two to eight weeks from fibrin-adhesive surgery.

[Controlled study on the efficacy of external treatment in surface-near thrombophlebitis].

The efficacy of an organo-heparinoid ointment (Hirudoid 40,000) compared with a placebo ointment was tested in a double blind trial on 40 patients with post-operative infusion thrombophlebitis. It was possible to provide objective data by means of the 125I-fibrinogen test for accelerated regression of thrombi following treatment with organo-heparinoid. The differences found between the 2 treatment groups were statistically significant. The clinical results conformed largely to the measured data. Especially pain and swelling were favourably affected by treatment with the active compound. 1 case of local allergic reaction to organo-heparinoid was observed. No further side-effects were seen.
