Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech. 1990; 57(5):385-391
On the basis of his own cadaver studies and data presented in the literature (mainly those presented by Anseroff) the author describes synovial folds of the hip joint also called retinacula of Weitbrecht and deals with the significance of these folds for the blood supply of the proximal end of the femur. In total there are three retinacula of Weitbrecht in the hip joint. Retinaculum anterius passes along the anterior surface of the neck originating from linea intertrochanterica toward the femoral head. It has the shape of a flat fold which is quite often divided into more stripes. Sometimes it is missing. Retinaculum mediale sometimes called Amantini's...

The authors present part of their prospective epidemiological study of congenital dysplasia of hip joints within which newborns were examined by ultrasonogram prior to the beginning of the therapy. Apart from the standard examination in the frontal plane after Graf they examined on principle also the ultrasonographic stability by the dynamic test after Schuler as well as by the application of the probe anteriorly with the simultaneous provocation according to Palmén. The authors have processed pathological ultrasonographic findings in 53 newborns (64 hip joints). The technique of the examination by ultrasound from the anterior approach is explained...
[Analysis of the results of femoral lengthening in 34 children and adolescents].

Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech. 1990; 57(5):405-416
The authors have evaluated a complex of 34 femurs prolongated in the period 1978-1988 by means of Wagner (26), Ilizarov (5) or bisegmental external fixation device of their own design (3). The whole group comprised 13 boys and 21 girls in the age group ranging from 6.5 to 17.25 years of age. In 13 cases the shortening of the extremity was congenital, in 21 cases it was of secondary nature. All usual data were observed and the quality of healing in the distraction gap was assessed by means of x-ray check up. The average shortening in the above mentioned group of patients ranged from 40 to 50 mm, the average prolongation of the bone was 40 mm. Subsequent...
[Orthopedic documentation and computer technology].
V Suchma
Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech. 1990; 57(5):417-420
The growth of the volume of necessary information and documentation in the field of health care puts ever increasing demands on its processing. The author presents the method of processing fundamental documentation of an orthopaedic unit by means of computer technology. He also presents the principles for the development of a specific PC software.

The clinical and laboratory retrospective and prospective study orientated to the observation of total posttraumatic response of the organisms to serious injuries (fractures of long bones of lower extremities, fractures of bones of pelvis, serious multiple injuries of body cavities associated with fractures) has concentrated hyperglobulaemia and at the same time also of disorders of blood coagulation. These in all three institutes on the verification of the significance of hyperglobulaemia, disorders of blood coagulation and persistent tachycardia. The analysis of the relations between the findings of fat hyperglobulaemia, disorders of coagulation...
