[Fractures-dislocations of the shoulder in middle-aged and elderly patients].

114 patients with fracture dislocations of the proximal end of humerus have been treated and observed. 83 of them were subjected to conservative and 31--to surgical treatment. Clinical, roentgenologic and radiologic evaluation of the immediate and long-term results allowed to formulate recommendations as to the selection of the treatment method of humerus fracture dislocations depending upon their type and general state of the patients.

[Surgical procedure in traumatic suppurative-necrotic osteitis of the leg].

Treatment of 346 patients with open fractures of the shin bone has been analyzed. In 45.9% of the patients there were symptoms of pyo-necrotic osteitis.

[Surgical fixation of the spine in fractures in the thoracic and lumbar segments].

Posterior alloplastic fixation of a damaged spinal portion was accomplished in 68 patients. In 20 cases fracture was associated with spinal dislocation. In such cases when a compressive spinal fracture is accompanied with insignificant signs of spinal concussion one should follow an expectation policy, since an early operation may be inherent in some additional trauma and result in inhibition of regenerative processes.
