K Jahn

Geriatric patients in orthopedics frequently fail ill of some typical diseases. For clearing up of diagnosis in the clinical investigation the application of Neutral-O-transitional method and of some supplementary investigation (who lead likewise to numerical findings) are recommendable. Selected roentgenograms and laboratory methods are necessary additional for clearing of diagnosis. The application of this "diagnostic standard" is an effective guide for diagnosis and an improvement in the exchange of findings between medical specialists.
