127 school children and 29 children under school age were
re-examined by me during the year.
The following operations have been carried out:-
| (i) Torticollis | 2 |
| (ii) Sprengel's Shoulder | 1 |
| (iii) Tarsectomy, etc. | 1 |
| (iv) Tenotomy—Tendo Achillis | 2 |
| (v) Tenotomy of Adductors | 1 |
| (vi) Left Inguinal Hernia | 1 |
| Total | 8 |
The successful results of the operations, particularly the cases
of Torticollis, and the early treatment of Congenital Talipes in
infants have been the special features of the work during 1927.
