Congenital flexion and ulnar deviation of the metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand. A case report.
A 2-year-old boy with congenital ulnar deviation and flexion deformity of the metacarpophalangeal joints (incidentally associated with ipsilateral metatarsus varus) was treated by surgical centralization of the extensor tendons. The operation improved function. Early splintage in infancy may avoid the need for surgical treatment in many cases.

Feasibility of open heart surgery in a community hospital.
A program for open heart surgery in one community hospital was formulated and put into practice. Experience gained indicates that such services are a necessity in hospitals that fulfill certain criteria. The program is safe and inexpensive. A house staff is not a prerequisite. Finally, the analysis of data obtained from the first 100 cases compares very favorably with results in large medical centers, indicating that the patient's recovery is not compromised.
