An analysis of errors in the treatment of combined traumas of the flexor tendons and nerves of the fingers and the hand in patients admitted for the restorative therapy of the Kazan Scientific Research Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology within the period from 1969 to 1977 is presented. All the errors are subdivided into diagnostic errors, those due to the surgical technique, and connected with the rehabilitation period. A number of organizational suggestions are set forth on the grounds of the obtained findings.

An analysis of diagnostic and therapeutic errors is presented based on observations of 264 patients with injuries to the cervical spine and their sequelae. Errors in interpretation of x-ray films could arise through improper knowledge of the roentgenological picture of cervical vertebrae, especially of the first and second. In clinics of general surgery skeletal extension is employed only in limited cases, whereas in applying the Glisson loop axial deformities of the spine could be eliminated but not always to a full extent. Errors in estimating the capacity for work result in development of post-traumatic insufficiency of the cervical spine and osteochondrosis.
