Mandibular fractures should be immobilized to the upper alveolar ridge. If the upper alveolar ridge is also a free fragment due to a LeFort type fracture the entire complex of mandible and midface after being wired together should be wired to the stable bony calvarium. Midface fractures (LeFort type fractures) require the same type of treatment as one would apply to a forearm fracture; i.e., the joints proximal and distal must be immobilized. In the midface fracture the mandible is immobilized through the teeth to the upper alveolar ridge and the entire complex to the bony calvarium.

BA assessment in the hand was performed according to the method of Greulich and Pyle while the standards of Schinz and Baensch were used for the elbow. Statistical analysis of data was carried out according to age groups as well as according to groups of clinical diagnoses. With only one exception in the group of so-called \"healthy individuals\", there was no difference between \"hand age\" and \"elbow age\". Thus, except in a very small group of subjects, both methods of BA assessment were found to be equivalent in predicting skeletal age in children between 6-15 years. Equivocal results were obtained regarding the question of whether the accuracy of BA assessment in the hand may be improved by the simultaneous BA determination from the elbow.

Represents somewhere between 0.9 to 1.5 of all tumors of the breast. Most patients are within the 7th to 8th decade of life. The most common symptoms at the time of presentation are a tumor mass in either breast, ulceration of the nipple or nipple retraction or fixation of the skin. Extension to the axiliar nodes takes place early in the course of the disease. The presence of nipple discharge should be considered expression of carcinoma of the breast unless otherwise proven. The final diagnosis is established by biopsy. The most common form of carcinoma of the breast is the ductal carcinoma. The surgical management takes basically that followed in carcinoma of the breast in the female patient. Also orquiectomy has been used which is equivalent to ovariectomy in woman. In the presence of metastasis both estrogens and androgens have been used. Hypophysectomy and post-op radiation therapy has been used.
