[Pitfalls of statistics as shown in a study on dysplastic hips (author's transl)].

In 97 cases of randomly selected children of an age from 5 to 16 weeks the angles of Hilgenreiner are determined. In relation to these findings also the influence of various factors such as hereditary anamnesis and untimely birth are observed. The so found data are compared with those published from Tönnis and Brunken. It seems that their data are higher than those in an average population. The necessity of an exact random test is pointed out.

[Atypical amputations of bone tumors of the lower extremity (author's transl)].

The most predominant problem concerning malignant tumors in the lower extremities is the radical removal of the tumor, for this almost always involves amputation. Referring to the eventual outfitting of a prosthesis one must keep functionality in mind from the start. This includes all the planing for the preservation of a stump that can be fitted with a prosthesis. Experience has confirmed the advantages of foot-root stumps and knee disarticulation. Good functional results can be attained with tumors of the femur in individual cases through atypical operations. This involved elongation of the stump by means of a fibula transplant; replacing the femur with a bioceramic endoprosthesis; and rotation-plasty, whereby the knee joint is replaced by the ankle joint.

[The consideration of footforms for a better judgement and explanation of footcomplains (author's transl)].

Differentiating individual foot types has decisive advantages in diagnosing and treating fallen arches and splayfoot. The basic methods of classifying different foot types are discussed and the necessity of such classifying is shown. Seemingly different interpretations of foot malformations are thereby explicable. Reference is made to the problem of therapeutic failures resulting from non-observance of the interaction between the arch-support and the shoes worn. The positive effects of indicated alterations in heel height are demonstrated.
