[Clinical and radiological spectrum of fatigue fractures (author's transl)].

34 fatigue fractures have been observed since 1976. The distribution frequency corresponded roughly to data given in the literature. Analysis of records showed that those fatigue fractures which were not localised in the metatarsal region and had uncharacteristic bone changes radiographically, caused in part considerable diagnostic difficulties.

[Percutaneous transluminal recanalization in a patient with arterial occlusive disease and multiple injuries (author's transl)].

A case of a 66 year old patient with multiple injuries is reported. A combination of conventional trauma treatment and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTR) of a segmented superficial femoral artery occlusion prevented leg amputation. When the patient died 8 weeks later from trauma sequelae the successful recanalization was demonstrated in histopathology investigation.
