A prospective study of over 100 cases comparing computerized tomography (CT) and correlating these studies with photographic motion picture studies of the larynx, conventional tomography and contrast laryngography has been performed. The authors give illustrative examples of cases in which the CT scan has been documented as providing equal and oftentimes greater information concerning not only tumors, but also cystic lesions and traumatic lesions. With the newer technology, the reduced radiation (which is less than one half that of conventional tomography), and the decreased expense (now comparable to that of laryngography alone), eliminates the need for conventional laryngography and tomography examinations. The incorporation of motion picture documentation of the lesions allowing future comparative studies between the original lesion and the CT are recommended for a more accurate retrospective classification and assessment of therapeutic results.

In a prospective study six patients with dorsal fracture subluxation of the IP joint of the thumb or the DIP joint of the finger were treated conservatively using an extension block splint. The fracture size varied from 22% to 47% of the articular surface of the volar base of the terminal phalanx. Good or excellent results were reported in all cases except for one, which was fair. Only one case in the study complained of any pain, and this was minimal. Conservative treatment using extension block splintage for this injury is as good as a surgical approach.
