[Ways of treatment in chronic lateral instability of the knee joint (author's transl)].

Chronic insufficiency of the lateral knee ligaments is more frequent than generally known. They are more troubling than a medial one. It exists only as a rotatory -- or combined ligament instability. For treatment the joint has to be inspected thoroughly; extraarticular corrections are mandatory. The common operative technics are described; special emphasis is laid upon Hughston's procedure for antero-lateral and postero-lateral instability.

Cardiopulmonary parameters and prognosis after severe multiple trauma.

Comprehensive cardiopulmonary and metabolic monitoring of severely traumatized patients for 7 days from the time of injury has allowed us to determine parematers which correlate with survival and nonsurvival. The earliest and most persistent change is an increased pulmonary vascular resistance which results in right heart overload and failure. Left heart "failure" which has been previously described with acute respiratory failure and shock is shown to be a mathematical artifact caused by dilatation of the right heart and encroachment on left ventricular filling volume. Causes of death in most patients were not directly referable to right heart dysfunction but we postulate that hypercoagulability and microembolism could independently produce the observed pulmonary vascular changes as well as the multiple organ failure which usually was responsible for death. Resolution of this question will require more sophisticated hematologic evaluation.

[Patterns of injuries of restrained car passengers (author's transl)].

A detailed analysis of actual traffic accidents involving car passengers wearing seat belts was carried out by an interdisciplinary team. The passengers were examined for the severity of their injuries, the combination of their injuries, and the practicality of their seat belt system. The type of injury to the car, the speed, and the line of impact were related to the injuries. Incorrect use of the belt system, malfunction due to external causes, and construction defects in the seat belt system were described and evaluated according to their specific importance.
