[Childhood injuries treated at a university clinic for traumatology (author's transl)]. / Unfallursachen und Verletzungsart im Kindesalter an einer Unfallklinik.

The accidents to all children up to the age of 14 years admitted to the I. Universitätsklinik für Unfallchirurgie in Wien in 1976 (2977 children) were analysed as to age-distribution, cause of accident, type and location of injury. There was an increase in accidents to older children. 13% of the injuries were due to traffic accidents; 60% occurred in the course of play; 27% on the field of sport. More than 60% were only minor injuries such as abrasions, lacerations, crushed fingers and toes etc., 30% bone fractures and ligamental injuries; 2,5% brain traumas. Most of the bone fractures were localized iment and no lethal injuries.

[Experiences with 2-stage flexor tendon transplantation]. / Erfahrungen mit der zweizeitigen Beugesehnentransplantation.

Flexor tendon grafting in two stages, using silastic rods to prepare a new bed, is well known. In our opinion four indications are important: first -- loss of tendon and gliding surface due to infection or complex injuries; second -- lesions of the digital nerves; third -- defects of the skin and fourth -- replantation of amputated digits. We are convinced that two stage tendon grafting is a helpful concept for achieving reasonable functional results in special cases and complex injuries.
