Based on the authors' personal experience, it was concluded that in surgical treatment for coxarthrosis intertrochanteric osteotomy is to be preferred, since it proved to be effective even in advanced cases of the lesion in the extent of residual motions of 30--40degrees. If indicated, the procedure may be bilateral. The operation yielded the best results also in avascular articular trophesy with resorption of sequestrae. In grave cases it is rational to begin with prosthesizing of one of the joints.

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.
