[Differential diagnosis of distortion of the elbow joint].

Distortion of the elbow joint often means a vague diagnosis describing a traumatized joint with no radiological changes, or it means a transient diagnosis until sophisticated examinations can demonstrate what the injury really is. In adults there are only a few injuries that cannot be shown by radiography. In children, however, radiography of the elbow joint is more difficult due to the inhomogeneity during growth. Contrary to adults, fractures misdiagnosed in radiography often result in significant reduction of joint function.

[An unusually large Meckel's diverticulum in the roentgen image].

The authors report on a patient with confirmed Crohns disease in whom laparotomy was performed because of a large accumulation of contrast medium in the lower abdomen detected via gastrointestinal passage. Intraoperative findings were a large Meckels diverticulum and a megaileum as an organic correlate of the radiological findings.

[The local effect of a silver chelate on standardized scald wounds of the rat].

In rat experiments a new silver chelate salt preparation is tested on scald wounds after standardized infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 30% of the animals survive scalding and infection after treatment with the new cream. This percentage does not reach the gentamycin treated reference group (60%). After combining gentamycin and silver chelate salt in local therapy 75% of the animals survive. Combination of silver chelate salt and gentamycin seems to be a very successful local therapy of scald wounds.

[Reliability and validity of the upper limb DASH questionnaire in patients with distal radius fractures].

AIM: The purpose of the study was to verify test criteria of the upper-limb DASH questionnaire in patients with Colles' fractures. METHODS: 107 of 139 patients with Colles' fractures treated operatively were examined and asked to complete the questionnaire. To establish reliability, the item answers of all questionnaires were analysed by using Cronbach's Alpha correlation coefficient and corrected item total correlation. Construct validity was evaluated by comparing the DASH points with clinical measures according to Gartland/Werley and Castaing (Spearman correlation coefficient). Discriminant validity was assessed by comparing the DASH points of patients with AO-type A/B fractures and AO-type C fractures (Mann-Whitney U-Test). RESULTS: 2.7 percent of all questionnaires were unusuable. The time to fill out the questionnaire was on average 12 minutes. Cronbach's alpha values were high in all scales (alpha > 0.8). No items were found unsuitable (corrected item total correlation > 0.5 in 28 of 30 questions). DASH scores were correlated with ROM deficits and clinical measures of wrist function (r = 0.53; r = 0.59; r = 0.52, p < 0.01). The questionnaire could discriminate patients with different fracture types (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: DASH is a workable, reliable and valid instrument for patients with Colles' fractures.
