Orthopaedic Clinics.
I am indebted to Mr. K. F. Hulbert, F.R.C.S., for the
following report:—
The Welling Orthopaedic Clinic has continued on Wednesday
mornings as before. There has been a decline in the
number of cases referred but the general pattern remains
the same and defects in posture still largely predominate.
Since my last report there have been structural alterations
to the building in Station Approach which have resulted
in a little more room and more pleasant surroundings and
although these improvements fail far short of the requirements
of the clinic, what has been done so far is appreciated.
Miss Cheeseman has continued to supervise the physiotherapy
throughout the year and her work and services are
gratefully acknowledged.
And to Mr. B. Lawson, F.R.C.S., for the following: —
The Murchison Avenue clinic has continued to run
efficiently and well and there has been no marked change
since my previous report. The general state of health of the
children seemed to be good and the orthopaedic conditions
presented were not severe, most being treated conservatively
by exercises and adjustments to shoes, only a small percentage
requiring operative treatment.
