[Apophyseal rupture of ischial bone tuberosity].

The apophyses of the pelvic skeleton are the insertion zones of strong muscles and tendons and are soft points towards the end of growth. Apophyseal ruptures have quite often occurred as a consequence of overstressing in the context of certain athletic disciplines. Reported in this paper are two of the authors' own cases of apophyseal rupture of Tuber ossis ischii. Diagnosis is easy on the basis of case history, clinical manifestations, and X-ray. Treatment is conservative, with the patient hip-straightened confined to bed for three weeks. Surgery might be indicated in cases of continued seating problems or neurological failures.

[Unwanted sequelae of irradiation in the intestinal tract--pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy].

The therapy of irradiation sequelae in the intestinal tract is still problematic. Within the period from 1967-1984 285 patients have been treated for late radiation injuries of the intestine. Our experiences are demonstrated and discussed with reference to the literature. Specific topics are: pathogenesis, clinical problems and aspects of conservative and operative treatment.

[Indications and choice of surgical procedure in bleeding gastroduodenal ulcer].

Lethality of bleeding peptic ulcer has been reduced to about 15 per cent in recent years by therapeutic endoscopy in combination with differentiated surgical tactics. Intensity and activity of bleeding as well as additional criteria, such as localisation, recurrence of bleeding, and age of the patient, are some of the parameters for surgical indication which are used in decision-making, with due consideration of the spontaneous course. Endoscopic haemostasis should be intensively used to avoid emergency operations and action of early recurrence. Selective early surgery should be performed whenever possible. Surgical techniques should be chosen with two objectives in mind, localised haemostasis and definitive ulcer treatment. Extraluminal and intraluminal ligation and additional vagotomy should be the optional approach to bleeding peptic ulcer. Billroth's I operation should be applied to ventricular ulcer.
