[Fracture of the proximal femur--treatment and early results from a rehabilitation hospital]. / Die hüftgelenknahe Oberschenkelfraktur--Behandlung und Frühergebnisse aus einem Versorgungskrankenhaus.

The fracture of the femur near the hip-joint as the typical fracture in the higher age is causing a high multi-morbidity. In the period 1969-1986 821 patients have been attended to. The application of methods of operation which are stable under charge have led the reducing the fatality and the duration of stationary medical attendance and to better functional early results.

[Management of biceps tendon ruptures with the "key hole-plasty"]. / Die Versorgung von Bicepssehnenrupturen mit der "Schlüssellochplastik".

This is a report about 18 cases of a rupture of the long proximal biceps tendon. The interligamentous, "closed" lesion like an elongation was cured by gathering up the tendon (3 patients). With very good results 15 cases of a typical rupture in the sulcus intertubercularis were operated by using the so called "keyhole plasty". This method should be favoured.
