Non-operative or operative treatment for undisplaced femoral neck fractures: a comparative study of 122 non-operative and 125 operatively treated cases.

We present a series of 247 undisplaced femoral neck fractures, of which 122 were primarily treated non-operatively, and 125 with primary operative stabilization. The background parameters did not differ significantly in the two groups. The length of hospitalization was 1 week shorter in the operatively treated group. They started to walk bearing full weight at an average of 11 days earlier. Two-thirds of the operatively treated but only one-quarter of the non-operatively treated patients were able to walk alone when they left hospital. General complications were recorded in 19 of the non-operatively and in four of the operatively treated patients during their hospitalization. Early displacement (within 6 weeks) was noted in 20 per cent of the non-operatively treated patients who required late operation. However, there was no early displacement in the operatively treated group. We therefore recommend primary operative stabilization of undisplaced femoral neck fractures.

[Synovitis and bone changes induced by silicone prosthesis].

Authors report on the clinico-pathological analysis of cases of silicon granuloma, developed 5-15 years after the insertion of the prosthesis. It is thought on the basis of histological and electron microscopic examinations that the process of granulation already started, is augmented by the granules, newly arising from the attrition. The silicon granuloma causes not only the damage of the synovia but the destruction of the surrounding soft parts and bones too.

[Diagnostic procedures in cases of wrist pain following distortion of the wrist].

Behind the diagnosis of "distorsio carpi" frequently ligamental injuries with severe functional damage of the carpal joint are hidden. To clear these is, in a significant part of the cases, also in the outpatient department possible if both the clinical (physical) and radiological examinations are carried out with adequate accuracy. Author deals with the "algorithm", summarizing the sequence of these examinations. If, in major complaints, it was not possible to make a diagnosis, an arthroscopy of the carpal joint is suggested.

[The role of Gardner's classification in the detection of dislocation in femoral neck fractures].

As the literary data are contradictory, authors examined in 489 operated femoral neck fractures the significance of Garden's classification. Based on their material it was found that this classification gives help in the judgement of the single fractures and in the choice of the adequate treatment. For a more exact assessment however they think the consideration of the lateral Roentgenograms also necessary.

The role of intraosseous phlebography in the prognosis of injuries of the talus.

Fracture-dislocations of the talus are often followed by avascular necrosis. In these cases weight bearing must be forbidden in order to prevent collapse of the talus. Experience with intraosseous phlebography in 31 cases and a 2- to 6-year follow-up in 25 of them showed that this is a useful diagnostic procedure in the assessment of the talar blood supply, and an important aid in deciding the necessary period of relief from weight bearing as well as giving a prognosis.
