(e) Report on the Work of the Orthopaedic
Clinic. Work in this department was carried on in a
comparatively normal manner during 1940, as will be
seen by the number of sessions held by the Orthopaedic
Surgeon and by the Masseuses as compared with previous
years.
Mr. Whitchurch Howell left us in July, 1940,
and Mr. A.M.A. Moore has taken over his work for the
duration of the war.
The High Frequency Inductotherm Apparatus
has been in use throughout the year and has proved
invaluable in the treatment of many painful conditions;
all other forms of work associated with electrical
treatment, exercises, massage and appliances etc.,
have been carried on as usual.
It will be noticed that the proportion of
children seen per session has decreased considerably,
contrasting thus very markedly with the attendances
of "Toddlers" and Adults which have remained on a
level with 1938 and 1939.
The following tables show the work which
has been carried out in the various branches of
orthopaedic work.
