RESUMO
In this article the objective evaluation of 39 cases of double lateral ligament tears of the ankle treated by cast immobilization is described. Such treatment resulted in a 79.5% success rate as determined by repeat stress roentgenograms. In addition, a statistical method which may aid the orthopaedist in deciding whether to use nonoperative or operative treatment is presented.

"Drawing on analyses of commuting data from secondary sources as well as on selected results from a research project on long-distance commuting in Britain, this article investigates the extent to which, and why, households may choose to substitute longer distance commuting for migration. Reasons for long-distance weekly commuting, and associated advantages and disadvantages from individual, household and employer perspectives, are outlined. The evidence points to increasing complexity in home and working lives, with important implications for housing, transport and human resource management policies, as well as for family life."
