摘要:

Ninety-nine ankle sprains were arbitrarily divided into a control (54 patients) and a study (45 patients) group. Both groups were treated with elevation, ice compression wraps, crutches, and early mobilization. In addition, the study group underwent ankle joint aspiration and local injection of the involved ligaments with 4–10 cc of 1% xylocaine. The difference between recovery times in the control group (mean, 10.7 days) and in the study group (mean, 4.4 days) reached statistical significance atp< 0.001 by Wilcoxon two-sample test. Because there are inherent risks in this treatment, it is not recommended for all patients. However, for those requiring early remission of symptoms to allow early return to pre-injury activities, this treatment is suggested by the author.

摘要:

The purpose of this paper is to describe the authors personal experiences in using the Patella Tendon Bearing Cast (P.T.B.) as described by Sarmiento (6), in the management of tibial shaft fractures. In all patients weight-bearing was instituted in a P.T.B. cast 4 weeks from the date of the fracture. The results obtained were compared with those of conventional methods used in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures. the time taken for fracture healing was significantly reduced and the functional results were superior to those of conventional methods.

摘要:

A study was made over two winters in Chittenden County, Vermont of 15 persons injured by snowblowers and 17 neighbors who owned such machines but had not been injured. Twelve of the 15 injuries involved amputation, fracture, or laceration of fingers from contact with an impeller blade in inadequately guarded chutes. Injured persons commonly had less experience (but not significantly so) with their machines than did uninjured owners, but both reported extensive safety-related and other problems with their machines. Better design standards could probably avoid such problems. Safety education and instructions for operators are recommended. A minimum injury rate of 5.3/1,000 machines annually and 4.1/10,000 times used was estimated in this study, but the true rate probably is somewhat higher.

摘要:

The incidence of spinal cord injury with spine fractures and dislocations is approximately 14% of the total as ascertained from a survey of these injuries in Northern California, and 17% of traumatic spinal cord injuries gave no overt radiographic evidence of vertebral injury. Patients sustaining fractures of the vertebral bodies and posterior elements with some degree of malalignment of the spine had a 61% incidence of neurologic deficit. Injuries to the cervical spine most often produced neurologic damage, the incidence of neurologic deficit being 39%. Motor vehicle collisions continue to be the major cause of these injuries and the victim is usually a young adult male.

摘要:

The psychiatric complications occurring in a group of adult burn patients were correlated with pertinent data in the literature and a classification constructed, based on the three stages of the acute grief response to injury: psychiatric complications occur when the process of mourning is arrested in a regressive episode. Thirty-five adult patients with burns of greater than 7% body surface area were studied. It was found that Body Surface Area burned, the presence of a Premorbid Psychiatric Diagnosis, and Age are all significantly correlated with the occurrence of psychiatric complications following burn injuries and account for 61% of the variance in the sample. The implications of these findings and possibilities for further research are discussed.

摘要:

A unique case of popliteal cyst apparently caused by a bullet that penetrated the knee joint 30 years previously was recently encountered. No similar case was found in the Englishlanguage literature (3, 9, 12). Removal of bullets adjacentto joints is recommended.
