[Accident-related mortality in 5- to 9-year-old children].

BACKGROUND: According to the WHO, insufficient attention is devoted to the problem of accident while more than one half of the death in children of 1 to 14 years of age in industrialized countries are caused by accidents. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nationwide statistical data from the Czech Republic have been evaluated and compared with those of selected European countries and the USA. In the years 1991-1993 average of 151 children died in the Czech Republic in the age group of 5- to 9-year olds. In 68 of them the cause of death was an injury that in almost half of the cases was due to a traffic accident. The trend in the mortality of children of the same age was assessed comparing the averages for 1950-1952 and 1991-1993. The overall mortality decreased by 68% while the greatest decline was in non-accident causes (75%). Mortality due to accidents decreased by 55% and that caused by motor vehicles by only 19%. The lowest mortality due to accidents was found in Sweden. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that mortality due to accidents and poisonings in younger school children in the Czech Republic is higher than, e.g. in Austria and Sweden. In order to be able to elaborate a draft of appropriate and effective preventive measures, it is necessary to obtain further information on accidents and poisonings in children that have not ended fatally.

[Abnormal placement of the testes].

The authors defined a uniform classification of abnormal positions of the testes. They recommend also a uniform therapeutic procedure: after the first year of life treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin in one or two curves, if orchiopexy fails.

The conservative treatment of the fractures and dislocations of the extremities in children.

Both authors have dedicated most of their time since 1948 to the treatment of fractures in children. On the basis of their experience they are therefore submitting to the medical public those methods and results of the conservative treatment of fractures and dislocations in children which stood the test of time. The experiences of both authors as well as successful therapeutic methods of other surgeons are discussed in this book. Differences are stated between fractures in adults and in children which may be attributed to the growth factor of children's bones and their enormous biological drive. These factors will play their part in correcting certain displaced fractures by re-moulding, fractures which in an adult would have to be perfectly reduced unless a permanent deformity should ensue associated with subsequent impairment of function to the injured limb. The authors are stating which displaced angulations and side to side displacements in a fracture may be left and which must be repaired under all circumstances and why, if conservative treatment fails, surgery has to be performed. Sideways and longitudinally displaced fractures, especially metaphysial ones do not warrant a perfect reduction. Rotational displacements must be corrected every time even in very small infants e.g. in newborn babies. Age plays an important part in the healing of fractures. Moulding and union of a fracture will be most rapid in newborn babies and infants while in fractures of adolescents a similar procedure has to be adopted as in fractures of adults. Special problems of epiphysiolyses and epiphysial fractures are discussed emphasizing that conservative treatment may be unsuccessful in epiphysiolyses Salter-Harris type III and IV and surgical intervention may be indicated. Fractures of upper and lower limbs are dealt with in detail while paying special attention to obstetrical fractures. Fractures round the elbow are treated in a similar manner, they will frequently heal in angulation of the upper limb and may cause nerve injuries and ischaemic changes of the forearm. Special attention is being paid to the longitudinal overgrowth of fractures of the femoral diaphysis associated with the sequelae of the treatment of these very serious injuries to newborn babies and infants as well as to toddlers and older children.
