[The development in the treatment of supracondylar femur fractures (author's transl)].

Author compared the material of supracondylar femur fractures of the National Institute of Traumatology during a period of 5 years starting from 1962 until 1966 with that of a period of 6 years starting in 1972 until 1977. From among their 108 cases osteosynthesis was performed in 38 cases. He gives account of methods with wire pinning, medullar splinting, and nailing with Rush's, Jewett's and Küntscher's technique (transfixation of the knee in the latter) as well as of solutions with angulated nails performed mainly in the second period. For nonunion in this region external fixation was also used.

[The role of marginal fractures in the prognosis of ankle fractures (author's transl)].

Based on review examination of 224 patients 5 years after their ankle fractures, the authors demonstrate a significant worsening of prognosis with fractures of the anterior or posterior tibial margin. In cases without marginal fractures severe late X-ray, or clinical changes remained less than 4%, in cases with small marginal fractures their number was under 20%, with great articular surface fractures however over 30%. The unfavourable trend becomes evident even in marginal fractures not extending to the articular surface or involving only a minor part of it. It is concluded, that a dislocating force in the sagittal direction is more damaging for the joint than a force acting in the lateral direction.

[The importance of primary operation from the point of view of mortality in patients with femoral neck fractures. I. Comparative study of mortality after primary and delayed operations. The part played by the patients age (author's transl)].

Authors with regard to primary or delayed surgical treatment analyse the mortality of 2,612 patients with proximal femur fractures treated in the National Institute of Traumatology during the years 1971--75. Within this material 2,055 case history of surgically treated femoral neck and pertrochanteric fractures are evaluated. An important difference in favour of primary intervention was found between the mortality of primary and delayed operations both in femoral neck and pertrochanteric fractures. In pertrochanteric fractures the mortality increased gradually starting from the day of injury. Regarding age related mortality, there was a significant difference in each age group in favour of primary operations. Thus the increased mortality encountered after delayed operations can't be explained by a selection with regard to age.

[Supporting role of the fibula in tibial fractures].

The possibilities of the supporting effect of the fibula and of its preclusion are discussed. The indication of the fibulotomia is dealt with. According to the authors' standpoint in the case of the anatomical reposition of the tibial fracture and after its staple synthesis the supporting effect of the fibula is not be be feared. In these cases the reposition and the osteosynthesis of the fibula neutralize fairly well also the motive forces acting on the tibial fracture.
