RESUMEN
Subtrochanteric fractures of the femur have a special place because of a significant number of complications following treatment. Powerful loading forces asymmetrically acting to this bone segment, as well as poor vascularization interfere with bone union. There are basically two current approaches in the fixation of subtrochanteric fractures; the first involves a plate with a compression screw and another one is intramedullary (IM) nail, with two options: centromedullary (standard interlocking femoral nail) and cephalomedullary femoral nail with two modifications, reconstructive and trochanteric. All IM nails may be used by open technique or closed minimal invasive method. IM nailing is favoured in view of a shorter operative time, shorter hospitalisation and complications. Indirect fracture reduction and knowledge of biology of bone fracture may result in full success without any bone graft.

Healing people and medical care are together highly organized technological system with significant expert, ethical and legal regulative. Taking medical care is very sensitive area and it interfears deep into one's integrity, so the law is necessary in this area as a regulator. The aim of work is to show medical errors from legal aspects and clinical practice. Errors, negligent conduct during the medical treatment and bad results of medical treatment are categories that can easily be switched or can sublime themselves into the same thing. That is why correct differentiation of medical errors and viewing every way of medical errors appearance is necessary.

Feet are maybe the key part of our musculoskeletal system that establishes upright position and movement. Their role is multiple--they maintain the balance of the body, push the body forward when walking and absorb mechanical pressure created in contact with the surface. Therefore, correct anatomic and functional development of foot is of vital importance. The most frequent reasons for examination of foot in the period of development are pain, deformity and incorrect walk. Our task is to detect the cause of the problem with clinical examination in the shortest possible period of time or to assess which additional diagnostic procedure would be the most suitable. A clinical examination of foot in the period of development involves inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, examination of joint mobility, examination of sensory-motor function and conducting specific tests. In some cases detailed and properly conducted clinical examination can prove to be sufficient to establish a complete and accurate diagnosis. Patients of this specific age may be insufficiently cooperative, mistrustful, shy or even afraid. Our approach and manipulations during the clinical examination need to be adapted completely to such patients and their characteristics.

Clubfoot, or talipes equinovarus, is a deformity consisting of equinus, varus, and adductus foot deformity. The true etiology of congenital clubfoot is unknown; several theories have been proposed. The pathology of the individual bones contributes to the clubfoot deformity and soft tissue contractures around the ankle and talocalcaneonavicular joint maintains the deformity and involve muscles, tendons, tendon sheaths, ligaments and joint capsules. Various treatment regimens have been proposed, including the use of corrective splinting, taping, and casting. Surgery in clubfoot is indicated for deformities that do not respond to conservative treatment by serial manipulation and casting. Surgery in the treatment of clubfoot must be tailored to the age of the child and to the deformity to be corrected. The main goals of treatment is the painless, functional and anatomical normal foot without need for custom made footwear, and those can be achieved after detailed, indivudial approach with great experience in pediatric orthopedics.

Foot arches are defined by the position of bones and stabilized by active and passive soft tissue structures. The most significant foot arches are longitudinal, medial and lateral. During lifetime they develop and change, while the most significant disorder represents the flatfoot. During the first two years of life, the flatfoot in full weight bearing position is considered a normal physiological condition, while in later age it represents a deformity requiring additional diagnostics and treatment. The flexible flatfoot is caused by ligamentous laxity, it is mostly pain-free and is treated symptomatically (prescription of adequate shoes and kinesitherapy). The rigid foot is most often caused by bone changes (tarsal coalition, vertical congenital talus) occurring idiopathically or within neuromuscular pathological conditions, with mostly present pain problems. In such cases treatment is also initiated by non-surgical methods, however, some type of surgical treatment is most frequently necessary to be used.

Hallux valgus is a complex deformity of the forefoot. Beside the lateral deviation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint angle exceeding 15-20 degrees and intermetatarsalvarus exceeding 8-9 degrees, it is also characterized by extensive changes of the soft tissue arch, sesamoid mechanism and metatarsocuneiform joint. It occurs almost exclusively in humans wearing shoes. Although in some measure it can be treated non-operatively, by corrective separators and inserts, operative treatment is predominant. There are numerous operative procedures aimed at the correction of the deformity and inducing normal biomechanics of the forefoot. There are seven conceptually different procedures starting from simple bunionectomy, through various soft tissue procedures, metatarsal and phalangeal osteotomies, to resection arthroplasty and metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis. All have clear indications, and none of them has advantages over the others. In accordance with the etiopathogenesis of the disease prevention is easy; wearing comfortable shoes.

During the period of development foot deformities can occur, not only during the growth and development, but also in the later age. The most frequent foot deformity is flatfoot, congenital club foot and hallux valgus. Prior to the decision on surgical treatment of the deformity, whenever possible the patient should be referred for physical therapy that may yield acceptable results in specific treatment phases. The basis of the treatment involves kinesitherapy, application of certain agents (thermotherapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound) and orthosis for maintaining corrections. If such therapy does not yield satisfactory results, the deformity is surgically corrected. After surgical correction, physical procedures can contribute to more rapid recovery and decrease possible complications (pain, edema, complex regional pain syndrome--Mb Sudec), which can follow the surgical correction of the deformity. In addition, the obligatory form of rehabilitation also involves kinesitherapy.
