[Late results of traumatic separation of the upper femoral epiphysis as an obstetrical lesion (author's transl)].

Publications on birth-traumatic epiphyseolysis of the head of the femur are rare. No long-term reports (the course of the disease extending over 10 years and more) have been published. We must mention the detailed paper published by Mau in 1975 on epiphyseolysis of the head of the femur in children, among which a lesion of the epiphysis in an otherwise complicationfree birth is described.

Distal hamstring lengthening in cerebral palsy. An evaluation by gait analysis.

Distal elongation of the hamstrings was performed for contracture due to neurogenic disorders in 66 patients. A follow-up study on 34 of the patients with cerebral palsy is reported here. The success of the operation was judged by functional evaluation including joint measurement and gait analysis.
