Tis presentation is based on the concept that stability of the functioning knee is dependent upon the tracing integrity of the tibia in relationship to the femoral condyles. The femur is considered to be the anchored, inherently fixed, and stable component of the knee joint and the tibia, the mobile unit which must be maintained in constant equilibrium with the femur. This stable equilibrium must be maintained in an infinite

Te injuries typical of wrestling are found to be more frequent during recent years. This is due to the increased practice and popularity of Free-Style wrestling. The lower extremities in the Free-Style form and the upper extremities in Greco-Roman form are used as force extensions (lever arm), exposing the extremities to great pull and tortion forces beyond the physiological limits, which in turn causes injuries especially to the joints.

The etiology of &dquo;tennis elbow&dquo; has been given as: prominence of the radial head,12 radial humeral bursitis,15 synovial fringes, various nerve entrapments,2 radial tunnel syndrome,’3 tendinitis, periostitis, tears of the conjoined tendon, neuritis,’ abnormalities of the obicular ligament or a combination of the above. Recommended treatment has included local infiltration, rest, manipulation or surgery. This study was undertaken to record the function of the extensor muscle mass during tennis stroke production in hopes of eliciting that stress responsible for the production of lateral epicondylitis. It was also hoped that guide-lines for the proper selection of tennis equipment might be established.

an analysis of 143 fatalities for 1970 and 132 fatal accidents in 1971 involving scuba or skin diving activity by U.S. Citizens. Injury within immediate medical cognizance arises chiefly from too rapid ascent (aeroembolism, decompression sickness); indirectly from cold, hypoxia, nitrogen narcosis, vertigo, disorientation, and traumatic and animate marine hazards. In closed breathing systems, there may be inadequate ventilation, carbon dioxide excess, and with oxygen inhalation and exercise at depths, incapacitation. Mishaps are caused by inexperience and inadequate training, particularly in the period of transition from swimming pool to open waters, by logistic failure (the empty gas bottle, borrowed equipment). The glaring deficiency is lack of on-site recompression chambers coupled with lack of or casual organization to provide emergency and follow-up care. Always in imminent danger of drowning (breathing unnaturally through a mouthpiece with the head surrounded by water) the scuba diver may compound the aqueous environmental hazards by physical impairment, emotional immaturity, and psychic instability. Not infrequent is the obsession to establish new records in depth with diving gear which for the novice should be restricted to ’free’ ascent depths without need for recompression-routinely limited to 60 feet and not greater than 130 feet.

I he high incidence of severe knee injuries occurring in American football constitutes a national health problem of considerable magnitude. Estimates based on available data 1. project an incidence of 100,000 to 130,000 knee injuries among professional, collegiate, scholastic and sandlot players each season. Of these, between 30,000 to 50,000 sustain injuries requiring surgery. To state the problem in terms of human suffering as well as short and long term disability is not possible. There can be no question but that the knee injury problem demands the attention of all individuals responsible for the health and well being of these athletes. It is recognized that in the vast majority of instances, fixation of the foot on the ground is a necessary element in the mechanism of football knee injuries. With the foot fixed, application of a force stressing the knee in a plane other than that of normal joint motion results in injury if the force exceeds the elastic capabilities of the structure(s) being stressed. Hanley3 was first to recognize this, attributed foot fixation to be due primarily to the heel cleats, and replaced them with a three inch diameter plastic heel disc. Wearing this device resulted in a significant decrease in knee and ankle injuries among Bowdoin College varsity players in 1965 and 1966.
