Bipolar fixation of fractures of the distal end of the radius.

The frequency fo secondary displacement in fractures of the distal end of the radius is very high and varies from 40 to 60% in various series. This results from the void in the epiphysis after reduction due to crushing of the cancellous bone. Secondary displacement can be easily avoided by the bipolar fixation method. This method is quite simple. Two strong Kirschner wires are driven into the radius and into the first metacarpal, and then incorporated in the cast after the reduction of the fracture. In this study we have followed 102 out of 250 patients treated by this method. The number of secondary displcements has been negligible. The functional results are excellent and we did not find any untoward effects attributable to our technique.

[Vascular complications of injuries. Introduction and results of a survey among Belgian surgeons].

We obtained 68 answers to a questionnaire concerning the organization of the treatment of vascular traumas. Seventy percent of these were treated by association of vascular surgeons and traumatologists. Eighty-six percent of the answers recommend to the surgical responsibilities of traumatologists. 49.1% think the vessel repair should be done by vascular specialists. Vascular surgeons or traumatologists accept to transfer the patient or the surgeon in view of the most appropriate treatment. Traumatologists would appreciate learning vascular skills. Great centers possess adequate X-ray equipments for arteriographic diagnosis. Satisfactory conditions for adequate treatment of vascular trauma seem to prevail in Belgium.
