    Eenmalige reponerende steroiedbehandeling by nie-artikulere sportbesering
    (Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1977) Van Heerden, J. J.
    A single treatment with repository steroid (methylprednisolone acetate) was given to 300 sportsmen with minor non-articular soft-tissue injuries. The response to treatment was determined after 5 days. Fitness to participate in sport was used as a guide. The results were excellent in 133 (44%) patients, good in 103 (34%) and poor in 64 (21 %). Owing to the generally satisfactory response and the few minor side effects, there appears to be justification for this type of treatment in properly selected cases.

    'n Ontleding van rugbybeserings
    (Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1976-8) Van Heerden, J. J.
    A survey of 1 385 rugby injuries at Stellenbosch during 1974 - 75 has been analysed to determine the incidence of injuries to the different parts of the body. The results are compared with those of similar surveys. Relationships between types of injuries and game practices, as well as possible precautions, are discussed. Rugby injuries do not appear to ,occur haphazardly and can therefore be minimised or be made less severe.
