ABSTRACT
We report the case of a pregnant patient who suffered cardiac arrest and was initially unresponsive to resuscitative measures. Prompt emergent cesarean delivery of the infant was carried out, and both mother and infant were then successfully resuscitated. We believe that prompt cesarean delivery is the key to maternal and infant survival in such cases.

Twenty-four patients with severely limited knee motion following open knee surgery were treated by percutaneous release of adhesions under arthroscopic control. The mean interval between the last open surgical procedure and our treatment was 2.75 years (range, 3 months-27 years). The mean follow-up interval was eight months (range, 1 month-4 1/2 years). The mean passive flexion was increased from 70 degrees preoperation to 115 degrees at final evaluation after all arthroscopic procedures, a 45 degrees mean increase in flexion. Morbidity was low, complications were infrequent and mild, and the duration of hospitalization was brief.
