Patella alta and gonarthrosis.

The frequency of patella alta as defined by the method of Insall & Salvati in knees with femoro-patellar osteoarthrosis was determined. Patella alta was six times as frequent in knees with osteoarthrosis than in those with a normal femoro-patellar joint. Patella alta is more common in women and is often bilateral.

Rectal anatomy following Ripstein's operation for prolapse studied by cineradiography.

Eleven patients operated on for rectal prolapse, according to the method described by Ripstein, were examined pre- and postoperatively with cineradiography of the rectum. The patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire to evaluate their histories of constipation. There is no apparent anatomic explanation for postoperative constipation. One patient had a rectal stricture and another, a recurrence in the shape of an intussusception.
