What follows is a resume of the work done by the Orthopedic department, both in the Dispensary and in the Hospital, during the year 1922. The year 1922 has shown a daily attendance at the dispensary of 33 cases, with a total attendance for the year of 10,067 cases. The number of new cases totaled l,925. The hospital service has averaged 40 beds, giving 7,295 hospital days treat- ment both to adults and children. The brace shop has turned out 155 new braces, and there is need of more workers in this department. There have been no new members inthe department, however, correlation with other departments has been more intimate. During the coming year we hope to have a member of the department of pediatrics constantly in attendance at our clinic in order that children having pediatric problems can immediately be treated and so save a revisit. The immediate contact of this department will be of great value in studying those types of bone cases possessing a nutritional or systematic problem. The relations with the department of anatomy have become more intimate in the past year. One member of our staff devoting his time in anatomy exclusively to the structural body. A part of the junior year in orthopedics will be taken over bv the department of anatomy by a course in the physiology of the skeletal body so that the men will have a better foundation for their clinical course. The campaign on better shoes-better health has extended very widely through- out the country. Hundreds of thousands of pamphlets entitled DO YOU-KNOW have been distributed by request and one of our members gives almost his complete time to the education of the public in the matter of the care of the feet and proper shoes. The work done by the Visiting Nurses' Association in the field has been, as usual, of the greatest value to us during the past year. This association has done all our re-educational work, maintaining a staff of trained workers for this purpose, besides handling general nursing problems. A nurse of this association is in daily attendance at our clinic. ' We are indebted to the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities for maintaining an ambu- lance for the transportation of cripples to the clinic. The Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor has continued, as usual, their large contribution from the Fox Foundation. It is this contribution that makes possible our clinical and hospital work in present scope. We may add that the demands made upon this department are increasing daily and that unless provisions are made to meet them they cannot be met satisfactorily. For example, another worker is needed in the brace shop, facilities should be instituted to give treatments in hydro-therapy, mechano-therapy, physio-therapy and electro- therapy. J. C.
