The review deals first with the importance of the risk factors for coronary heart disease, the progression of coronary arteriosclerosis and the location of atherosclerotic lesions. The areas of blood supply to the coronary arteries and the effects of coronary insufficiency in the myocardium are discussed. Finally the aneurysm and the morphologic changes in aortocoronary venous bypass are described.

A new technique of arthrodesis of the ankle joint by internal fixation with self-compression blade-plates is presented. The both possible techniques of inserting the plate lateraly or medialy are described. We prefer the lateral approach. After resection of the ankle joint we also resect the tibiofibular syndesmosis putting than in a transfixion screw. We than compare under biomechanical aspects the new techniques with Charnley's external fixation with compression clamps. The osteosynthesis with blade-plates gives a higher stability in which external splintage with plaster becomes unnecessary. Following our experiences consolidation occurs after 8 tp 12 weeks.

Soft tissue tumours behind the knee have rarely been described in literature. We have studied 74 patients with 79 tumours and pseudotumours in this area, and made a survey about pathology, clinical features, diagnosis, differentialdiagnosis and operative treatment. We have pointed out the varying nomenclature and confusion in definition ob a bursa and Baker's synovial herniation. The analysis of the casuistry showed predominantly gangliae, bursae and Baker's cysts. We have given special prominence to subfascial lipoma, malignant synovioma and nerve tumours as rare conditiones. Our own cases of synovioma and nerve tumours have been separately described.
