Technical note: new connecting devices for potential equalization.

Two types of new equipotential connecting devices have been developed for the medical electrical equipment. The features of each type include lower contact resistance, firm connection between socket and pin and a high level of safety. The results of testing a third type of connector (developed earlier) are included. They have individual features which users can select according to their particular purposes of use. The new devices will contribute to improved safety of the medical electrical equipment.

Arthroscopy for slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

Arthroscopy was performed in five hips with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) before pinning in situ. Arthroscopy disclosed erosion of acetabular cartilage in the anterosuperior region and damage to the posterolateral aspect of the acetabular labrum. Cartilaginous erosion and transverse cleft were identified on the anterior surface of the femoral head. These findings support the hypothesis that all pathomechanisms of SCFE are caused by traumatic factors. Arthroscopy for SCFE is also clinically useful in reducing hip pain. Arthroscopy performed simultaneously with pinning in situ can permit early exercise of the joint.
