Traumatic dislocation of the hip in children. A report of 4 cases.

During a 1-year period 4 children, aged 4-14 years, suffering from traumatic dislocation of the hip were treated at H. F. Verwoerd Hospital. This is a rare injury and constitutes 0.335% of injuries seen in this unit. Two cases of anterior dislocations, which are even more rare, are included in this study. This article emphasises the importance of this injury in all cases of children subjected to severe trauma. However, as illustrated by 1 case, mild trauma may be sufficient to cause a dislocated hip in the young child.

Isolated fractures of the shaft of the ulna.

Fractures of the shaft of the ulna are described and a simple classification is proposed. Statistics are analysed in respect of mode of treatment and time of healing, and the unique mechanism of direct trauma is discussed. This survey showed that operative treatment has no place whatsoever in the treatment of these fractures.
