Renal artery occlusion: surgical intervention
Dorsal dislocation
The damage was at first overlooked among other injuries in the abdomen and elsewhere but adequate renal function returned after dialysis for 3 weeks. Biopsy at 4X hours showed infarction and necrosis but some bleeding occurred. Greenholz S. K.. Moore E. E.. Peterson N. E. and Moore G. E.

The triquetrum was replaced by closed manipulation and after X weeks in plaster the patient returned to heavy rn~inu~ll work and had few complaints. Goldberg B. and Heller A. P. ( lY87) Dorsal dislocation ot the triquetrum with rotary s~jblux~lti~~n of the scaphoid. J. Htrnd .Srtrg. 12A. 119.

Obscure wrist pain Movements of the carpus were studied Huoroscopically and recorded on tape; in some cases ~lrthrog~phy was also used. In 76 per cent of cases the anatomical abnormality wah demonstrated. Demonstrable abnormalities were usually instability, which was usually the result of injury rather than attrition. Hankins F.

Traction in interphalangeai
joint fractures
The method is sound in principle but cumbersome in practice; it appeared to give good results and was based on skeletal traction applied by elastic bands to a large ring that was embedded in a splint on the forearm and allowed the line of pull to be moved round a wide arc.

talus fractures
Four types of lesion occur: complete sepa~ti(~n of the fragment carried a worse prognosis than partial attachment or compression. Results were better if loose fragments were removed early. Pettine K. A. and Morrey B. F. (IYX7) Osteochondral fractures of the talus. J. Bone Joint Surg. 69B. 89.
