Tricorrectional osteotomy for the correction of late-stage hallux limitus/rigidus.

The authors propose the use of the tricorrectional osteotomy for treatment of severe hallux limitus/rigidus as an alternative to joint-destructive procedures. A study of 19 patients with follow-up treatment ranges of 10 months to 6 years postoperatively was performed. Data were collected on preoperative and long-term postoperative x-rays, range of motion assessment, F-scan studies, and subjective patient questionnaires. High patient satisfaction along with increased range of motion, minimal complications, and an early return to activities make this an ideal procedure for grades II, III, and IV hallux limitus/rigidus.

Exhibiting mentally retarded people for amusement and profit, 1850-1940.

Historians in the field of mental retardation have neglected to document the exhibition of people for amusement and profit, commonly known as "freak shows." The exhibition of people we would now call "mentally retarded" during the period 1850 to 1940 in the United States was discussed. Biographical sketches were given to five famous persons who were exhibited in the 19th century. Information on other individuals who were exhibited was also provided. Patterns and trends in exhibitions and in the significance of "freak show" imagery for current attitudes toward those known as mentally retarded was discussed.

Defending illusions: the institution's struggle for survival.

Based on participant observation and other qualitative data collected at 15 institutions for the mentally retarded, this study is directed to determining how institutional officials deal with outside criticism of their facilities. Over the past decade and a half, the legitimacy of institutions for the retarded has been challenged by professionals, courts, parent groups, and the media. Officials have reacted to outside criticism by developing new legitimating myths, increasingly sophisticated impression-management techniques, and detailed rationales for the all-too-visible discrepancy between goals and practices. Thus, this paper is concerned with the symbolic nature of the institution's struggle for survival.

National policy and situated meaning: the case of Head Start and the handicapped.

Recent amendments to the Economic Opportunity Act required Head Start programs to increase the number of "handicapped" children to ten percent of those served. Using an interactionist perspective and participant observation data from 30 programs, this paper discusses the effect of the legislation on local programs, the process by which official rates of deviance are produced, and the manner in which mandates from the national level alter situated meaning. Implications for theory and policy are suggested.
