In regard to the operative treatment of the spondylitic gibbus, see Hoffa Die moderne Behandlung der Spondylitis, 1900/ Transplantation of tendons, proposed and performed by Mcoladoni in 1881,has assumed great importance; this is most successful in dissociated muscularparalyses. In this condition only one muscle group is affected, while theantagonists are preserved and are usually strongly contracted. In theseparalyses only surgical and orthopedic qieasures present hopes of success, andeither redression apparatus or operative transplantation of the functionatingmuscles to the
