Orthopaedic Clinic.
I am indebted to Mr. K. F. Hulbert, F.R.C.S., for the
following report on the Orthopaedic Clinic:—
The Orthopaedic Clinic at Welling has continued
throughout the year on the first and third Wednesday
mornings of the month. There has been some decrease in
the numbers attending, but there has been no change in the
type of case sent up.
Miss Cheeseman has continued as Physiotherapist for
the past year and her services are very much appreciated
by all.
The observations in my previous reports about lack of
accommodation still applies, and we are still cramped in
our activities.
And to Mr. B. Lawson, F.R.C.S., for the following:—
The Orthopaedic Clinic for 1955 has shown no great
variation from 1954. The patients were referred mainly
for abnormilities of the feet, legs and posture, which included
three severe scolioses. Operations on the feet were mainly
confined to flexor extensor transplants for claw toes and
isolated operations on individual toes. One congenital
dislocation of the hip was transferred to West Hill Hospital
and is making satisfactory progress under my treatment there.
X-Ray facilities generally would be better if nearer at
hand. There is some delay between seeing the patient and
reviewing the X-Rays, as clinics are only held at one monthly
intervals. However, in cases of semi-urgency I have transferred
these to West Hill.
