In thc space of ooly a few years, reconstructive surgery of the skeleton of the hand has become a foeus of attention. Thc reason for this has been the advent of principles and techniques of stable internal fixation, tbc unparaJleled advantages of which are particularly evident in the treatment of the complex, multi- structural lesions so typical of injuries of the hand, and also in procedures such as replantation or revascularisatioss. What a striking contrast on the other hand is to be seen in the slow and painful progress made in Dur understanding of the biomechanics of the radiocarpal joint! This is most elo- quently ilIustrated by the embryonie state of prosthetic surgery of the wrist, compared with the sophisticatcd advances made in hip and knee surgery. Yet it is undeniable that painful condi- tions involving dysfunctions of the wrist are increasing in number and affect young people in particular; this should spur us on to seek more effective therapeutic solutions.

It is to the great and lasting credit of LORENZ BOHLER and his school that they have in the last decade developed and demonstrated so thoroughly the techniques for the conservative management of fractures. Nevertheless there have always been many, including some from BOHLER'S school, who have found considerable place for surgical management, and with the significant progress in general surgery seen in postwar years, a new stimulus has been given to this part of traumatic surgery, especially since bone injuries have become more complex and frequent. The concept of internal fixation is not new. The serious criticisms that have been levelled at it retain today their basic significance. Progress in the fields of asepsis, corrosion-free metal implants, operative experience and postoperative care has diminished the dangers but has not relieved the surgeon of responsibility. The Association for the Study of the Problems of Internal Fixation (AO) has devoted itself over a number of years to the basic principles and best methods of open treatment of fractures by means of extended clinical and scientific studies in order to determine in each individual case the most promising line of treatment. At the same time a well designed and tested instrument set has been developed with precise instructions for the appropriate techniques. As a result, the new observations about primary bone healing which have emerged from the practice of rigid internal fixation are as interesting as the uses to which they can be put in allowing early mobilization.

In nur wenigen Jahren hat sich die rekonstruktive Chirurgie am Handskelett grundlegend gewandelt. Die Vorteile einer stabi- len Osteosynthese werden weltweit in zunehmendem Masse auch in der Handchirurgie genutzt, vor allem in der Versorgung der an der Hand typischen multistrukturellen Verletzung und bei revitalisierenden Eingriffen. In bezug auf die Biomechanik des radiokarpalen Gelenkkom- plexes verlauft die Entwicklung dagegen zoegernd. Dies triff- etwa im Vergleich mit der unteren Extremitat - ganz besonders auch fur den alloplastischen Gelenkersatz zu. Dabei ist unver- kennbar, dass die Problemfalle mit posttraumatischen Handge- lenkbeschwerden standig zunehmen und vor allem junge Patien- ten betreffen, und immer deutlicher wird der Zwang zu therapeu- tischen Loesungen. Das "Handgelenk" in seiner Komplexitat ist lange schon Gegenstand wissenschaftlichen Interesses; eine neue klinische Dimension erhielt dieses Gelenk aber wahrscheinlich erst durch Gilford, Bolton und Lambrinudi im Jahre 1943, als sie das Langskettenkonzept mit einzelnen Gliedern darstellten und im seitlichen Roentgenbild die Achsen der einzelnen Glieder erkannten. Einen Stabilitatsverlust konnten sie so aufgrund der abweichenden Achsen im seitlichen Roentgenbild definieren. Seit- her haben sich innovative Anatomen und Kliniker mit wachsen- dem Erfolg um das Verstandnis von Bewegung und Stabilitat am Handgelenk bemuht. Auf diesen grundlegenden Arbeiten baut die anspruchsvolle Monographie von G. Sennwald auf. Dem Autor gelingt es in hoechstem Masse, Anatomie, Funktion und Pathologie dieses Ge- lenkkomplexes als Einheit darzustellen. G. Sennwald analysiert kritisch das internationale Schrifttum, analysiert aber mit ebenso grosser Akribie das eigene handchirurgische Krankengut mehre- rer Jahre.
