Abstract

“The fourth congress of S.I.C.O.T. was held in the famous Indisch Instituut, Amsterdam, during the week September 13 to 18, 1948, under the patronage of her Majesty Queen Wilhelmina. Two hundred delegates attended from twenty-seven countries. The congress owed much to the Dutch capacity for smooth organisation, which was personified by the secretary, Dr. J. D. Mulder. On several occasions the president of the Congress, Dr. Henry W. Meyerding, expressed his relief that more trouble had not arisen in the timing of the sessions which on paper were filled, and indeed hopelessly overfilled, with vast numbers of contributions.* One of three days of scientific procceedings was devoted to reports on closed fractures of the spine, another to arthritis deformans of the hip joint, and a third to a series of short papers.
