RESUMEN
Spinal metastasis plays an important role in the survival rate and general condition of cancer patients. In this paper, we present 70 patients with metastatic spinal tumors, diagnosed and surgically treated in the Departments of Neurosurgery and Orthopedics of Ankara Numune State Hospital between 1984 and 1993. Our clinical observations suggest that the survival rate is influenced by the type of the primary lesion, pathology, and the patient's preoperative physical and neurological status.

Extremity contractures are one of the most common deformities faced by the reconstructive surgeon. Major deformities with ankylosis of the related joint have to be managed by both soft tissue and bone operations. Contractures existing for a long period of time cannot be brought into anatomic position easily because of shortened tendons, nerves, and vessels or ankylosed joints. Although tendons can be lengthened in one operation, this is not the case for neural and vascular structures. The authors use external fixators associated with soft tissue procedures to gradually correct major foot dorsiflexion contractures.

In this study, 586 clean wounds is researched in Ankara Numune Hospital 1. Ortopaedics and Traumatology Clinic. The rate of the infection, the pathogen agent and the source of the infection in clean wounds were examined. In 586 clean wounds, 16 of them (2.7%) were postoperative infections. Coagulase (+) staphylococcus was seen in nine patients (56%). Coagulase (-) staphylococcus was seen in one patient and all the gram (-) microorganisms were found as 43.6%. This rate is almost close to the rate of coagulase (+) staphylococcus.
