Both Hips Dislocated A two-year-old child was admitted to hospital, with a history of limping since first learning to walk. X-rays revealed that the child had a congen- ital dislocation of both hips, The' hips were reduced and a plaster cast ap7 plied from the waist down and the child was discharged from hospital. He returned to the Orthopaedic Clinic every three months for X-rays and a change of cast, This continued for a year and a half and at that time the casts were discontinued and the child wore night splints only. Two years after the first admission to hospital X-rays were taken, which showed the dislocation of the hipS had been cor- rected and the little boy is now able to run and play with the rest of his playmates. A Lions Club sponsored this child's treatment. Cerebral Palsy A' bright-eyed attractive ,ittle girl was born with cerebral palsy.

Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Logan and Ralph of Belgrave, visited on Thursday with Mr. and Mrs. Harvey McDowell, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith and very little speech, was unable to walk and lied very little use of her hands and arms, When she was about three years old she began to take a few staggering steps alone and tried to grasp toys with her unsteady hands. This little girl was examined at Hos- pital for Sick Children, Toronto, and had an intelligence test taken, which showed that she was mentally alert, Regular physiotherapy and speech therapy was advised by the doctor. One year later she was admitted to the Cerebral Palsy Treatment Centre at Woodeden. For the next two years this little girl had regular treatment under the direction of a professional staff, She was able to walk much bet- ter, her speech had improved and she is now attending a regular public school. This little girl will never walk or talk as well as the other children at school, but she has made remarkable progress in spite of her handicap, Club Feet This little girl, now. 13 years old, was born with bilateral club feet, Treatment started early for her. She was brought into the Orthopaedic clinic before she was one month old and a series of plaster casts were ap- plied to her feet. These casts were changed weekly, each time, bringing the twisted feet closer to the normal position. Her feet were resistant to treatment and the casting was con- tinued over a period of years. From plaster casts she went on to braces designed to hold the feet in position. Daily stretching and manipulation of the feet were carried out and the child attended the Physiotherapy De- partment regularly. The feet remained resistant to treatment and several operations were performed until the feet were brought as near as possible to the normal' position. This girl now walks well, without braces, and with only slight shoe alterations. Absence of Tibia A 12-year-old boy has congenital absence of the tibia of both legs. He wore appliances which enabled him to play about and to attend school daily. As he was becoming too heavy for these, it was necessary to amputate the legs above the knees and he is now wearing.
