ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC.
I am indebted to Mr. J. A. Cholmeley, M.B., F. R.C.S., for the
following report on the work of the Orthopaedic Clinic during the year
ending December, 1943.
"There has been a further increase in the number of new
cases seen at the Orthopaedic Clinic, a number which is
approaching the figure for 1938. In 1940, when the London
air-raids were at their maximum, there was the smallest
attendance of new cases, and in 1943, this figure has almost
been doubled, although it has not been possible to increase
the number of surgeon's sessions held on account of the shortage
of staff at the hospital; on the other Land the number of children
attending for treatment, and the number of treatments given,
has fallen slightly since 1942, partly due to requests by parents
for examination of their children at the clinic when the 'defect'
is only a variation of the normal, this is shown by the considerable
number of cases diagnosed as 'nothing abnormal
discovered' and always tends to occur when special clinics
become well established.
