[The topical treatment of large second degree burns in childhood by tanning with silvernitrate and mebromide (author's transl)].

The tanning method using 7% silvernitrate and 2% mebromide solution for second degree burns in childhood is demonstrated. The advantages of this method are described as singular and painless application of the agent, little annoyance of the patient, bactericidal effect in second degree burns, low expenses and easy medical care. The procedure of tanning is preferred in treating burn injuries of the trunk and non mobile areas of the extremities. We report on indication, procedure of tanning and results in the treatment of 129 burned children.

[Operative treatment of femoral shaft fractures in infancy by Küntscher nailing (author's transl)].

Considering our own results with treating 96 children by Küntscher nailing we cannot agree with other authors who prefer conservative treatment of femoral shaft fractures in infancy. Using a special technique which avoids injuries of the epiphyseal zone, we neither found unphysiological differences in legs length nor varus or valgus displacements three months to five years after nail removal. Bacterial infections are extremely rare. Healing mostly follows without complications. In well defined cases we think operative treatment has the following advantages: short period of hospitalization, early mobilization, easy medical care, little x-ray exposition and lowering of costs.
