摘要:

The method of application of the below‐knee total‐contact cast is illustrated, stressing the importance of firm moulding over the medial flare of the tibia, the popliteal space and the patellar tendon. Forty patients with tibial shaft fractures treated in this manner in Middlernore Hospital during the past four years are reviewed, and a comparison of some features is made with those of forty similar fractures treated in conventional above‐knee plasters. The results indicate that a well‐applied total contact cast controls these fractures adequately and that convalescence is relatively straighforward. In addition, there are obvious advantages to the tatient in respect of comfort and

摘要:

A scries of gliomas is reviewed in an endeavour to establish the efficacy or otherwise of the various _ forms of treatment available. In general, it would seem that prognosis depends upon the activity of tumour cells and the anatomical relationships of the lesion. From the experience of this series it appears that wide resection, if this is possible, offers a longer survival time than any other form of treatment

摘要:

Uncommonly, pancreatic cysts are complicated by the erosion of certain adjacent arteries and serious gastrointestinal hemorrhage. This diagnosis should be entertained in any patient with chronic pancreatitis who presents with unexplained gastrointestinal blood loss, whether acute or chronic, a pulsatile mass in the epigastrium, and an associated bruit. Selective cceliac axis angiography may not only confirm the diagnosis, but provide precise anatomical information as a guide to the surgeon in planning treatment. The surgical treatment of choice is transcysiic ligation of the bleeding vessel, followed by internal cyst drainage
