[Evaluation of the results of intramodullary metallic osteosynthesis of diaphyseal humeral fractures].

In the paper, an analysis of the results of surgical treatment in 32 patients with fractures of brachial diaphysis is given. Thirty one patients were subjected to retrograde osteosynthesis, the end of a nail being remained under the greater tubercle of the humerus, and in one patient a nail was inserted directly just on the cubital fossa aspect. Among 32 examined patients only 11 patients showed complete restoration of the anatomical integrity and function of the extremity.

[Outcome of conservative treatment of traumatic hip dislocation].

The authors report an analysis of the results obtained after conservative therapy for femoral dislocations. Reduction of luxations was accomplished after the Djanalidze and Kocher method with subsequent immobilization of the extremity by means of skeletal extension, plaster cast and bandaging one leg to the other. The results proved to be different depending on the technic of reduction employed, fixation of the extremity and its duration, and the start of the weight-bearing on the injured extremity.
