[The effect of standardized acupuncture programs in the after-care of accident patients].

153 patients suffering from pain, edematous conditions, and impaired movement following traumas sustained in accidents were treated or after-treated with acupuncture. Acupuncture was applied in adherence to a standardized program according to the individual types of injury. The stimulus was applied by means of steel needles inserted into body as well as ear acupuncture points. In all 9 groups, improvement of the painful condition was significant to highly significant as it was regarding improvement of the movement impairment, the latter not having been emphasized in the other 3 groups. Remaining complaints of long standing following accident traumas could also be positively influenced. Acupuncture proved itself to be an effective form of therapy for after-treatment of accident patients, presenting a valuable supplement to the field of rehabilitation, especially when combined with other physical therapeutic measures.

Clues to the initial radiographic evaluation of skeletal trauma.

Significant injuries to the musculoskeletal system usually result in a radiographic abnormality. The physician is faced with the problem of recognizing and correctly interpreting these abnormalities. The best way to recognize an abnormality is to thoroughly understand what is normal. Knowledge of normal appearances and relationships will allow identification of even subtle fractures and dislocations.

Improving radiographs of the injured shoulder.

Axial radiographs of the injured shoulder may be difficult to obtain where there is pain or spasm in the shoulder region and abduction is painful or impossible. The modified axial view for the injured shoulder has been used in Nottingham for the past three years and the technique and some of the radiographs obtained are demonstrated here.

[Testing the effect of acupuncture in accident patients using skin temperature measurements].

Skin temperature was studied on a group of 54 patients suffering from accident traumas and 20 healthy probands during and after treatment. In all patients there was a very significant rise in skin temperature in the area of the lesion which persisted beyond the treatment period, and in some cases even increased. This effect was also observed to a lesser extent on the contralateral, untreated extremity. No change in skin temperature was observed in the healthy probands who were treated in the same manner. This leads to the conclusion that needle stimuli in the area of lesions have not only a local, hyperemic effect, but also demonstrate superregional actions; this is, however, dependent on the integrity of the organism.
