During a 1-year period 4 children, aged 4-14 years, suffering from traumatic dislocation of the hip were treated at H. F. Verwoerd Hospital. This is a rare injury and constitutes 0.335% of injuries seen in this unit. Two cases of anterior dislocations, which are even more rare, are included in this study. This article emphasises the importance of this injury in all cases of children subjected to severe trauma. However, as illustrated by 1 case, mild trauma may be sufficient to cause a dislocated hip in the young child.

Bone induction studies on baboons using standard millipore tissue chambers showed that lyophilised bone, bone marrow and thrombocytes (growth factors) are necessary for optimal osteogenesis. The decalcification of bone tissue before transplantation leads to the impairment of new bone growth.

The treatment of children suffering from cerebral paresis differs widely from that of children with poliomyelitis, since we deal with active spastic muscles which are influenced by many factors. We discuss these factors and present the results in a series of patients who were operated on with these factors borne in mind.

Fractures of the shaft of the ulna are described and a simple classification is proposed. Statistics are analysed in respect of mode of treatment and time of healing, and the unique mechanism of direct trauma is discussed. This survey showed that operative treatment has no place whatsoever in the treatment of these fractures.
