[Ski boots from an orthopedic point of view].

1. A ski-boot should have an adequate arch support and a variable, as well as an exact fitting of the dorsal part. This can be achieved with flow, foam, air or wax. 2. Isolated pressure of compression systems of different kinds should be avoided (e.g. pressure of buckles above the ankle). New results are demonstrated by the possibility of putting on the boot from behind and having the buckles at the back of the boot. 3. The strap from ankle to foot has to be continuous to avoid pressure points. 4. It should be possible to walk and stand in a ski-boot without either muscular strain or pressure on the knee-joint. In addition, the sole has to give an optimal grip also on icy ground to prevent slipping.

[Advances in the diagnosis and therapy of bone tumors with special reference to modern surgical possibilities].

Progress in the diagnosis of bone tumors is primarily to be seen in the possibilities of exact radiological demonstration, the differentiation of morphological characteristics of tumor growthdynamics (tumor vessels) and in the possibilities of modern nuclear methods, which provide preoperative information on the metabolism of the tumor. Remarkable progress could be achieved regarding therapy especially with surgical measures, as combined osteosynthesis and alloplastic, as well as in the development of improved materials for implantation (metal, plastic, cement) and improvement of implantation itself. The implantation of extensive amounts of foreign material in the modern ultrasterile operating rooms with horizontal or vertical flow is today possible with greater safety. In the combination of orthopaedic surgery and cytostatic and immunotherapy there exist today greater chances in the treatment of malignant bone tumors.

[Fixation casts in skiing-traūmatology].

Extensive experiences have shown that bandages of ultraviolet sensitive synthetic resin (LightCast II) offer important advantages compared to the conventional plaster cast. The special technique and details of procedure are described. The most important advantages are the light weight, water resistance (the patients can wash, shower and swim,), absolut stability is gained after 5--6 minutes under a ultraviolet lamp. Indications for the use of the fiberglass-cast are discussed.
