[The lower-limb amputation in geriatrics suffering from occlusive artery disease (author's transl)].

Owing to the biology of arteriosclerosis elderly previously affected patients have, as a rule, to undergo lower limb amputation for occlusive artery disease. This creates particular problems which must be taken into account when choosing the surgical technique and providing the prosthesis. The article surveys the common methods and describes, in particular, the knee disarticulation including the early prosthetic fitting carried out at the author's hospital, which in their experience can decisively improve the patient's rehabilitation.

[Misdiagnosis: Raynaud's disease].

Within a few hours a patient developed necrosis of two finger tips. A provisional diagnosis of Raynaud's disease was made and an arteriogram was performed. This showed considerable hypervascularisation of the affected fingers. After 48 hours, the typical clinical picture of an acute infection became evident. The differential diagnosis and pathogenesis are discussed.

Angiography

[Scanning and transmission electron microscopic studies of the development of the joint surfaces (author's transl)].

The late embryonic and post partum development of the rat knee-joint has been studied by the transmission and scanning electron microscope. Undergoing a transformation in the sense of functional adaption to extrauterine life there is a final breakdown of the mesenchym cell layer (interzone) which separates in the embryo the anlagen of the bones. Its is followed by an accelerated growth of the collagen-containing intercellular substance which finally forms the surface.
