LYON, France (CP) — A
team of specialists here has
perfected an internal artificial
knee-joint, after 25 years of
practical work and two years of
intensive research.

Providing hope for bed-ridden
patients, the device will enable
many of them to walk again.

The team that developed it is
. from the orthopedic surgery
and traumatology clinic of the
Edouard-Herriot Hospital, This
clinic is one of four in the world
specializing in knee surgery.

The four members of the
team are two professors, a
doctor and an engineer,

The team prefers not to place
the device in young patients
because they are nat sure how
long the cement used to keep the
device in place will last.

Dr. Gilles Bousquet, head of
the clinic and a member of the
team, said they are sure the
cement will hold for at least 10
years if not longer. If the device
is placed in the knee of a 60-
year-old patient, it will permit
him to walk for atleast 10 years,

If the aid was placed in a 20-
year-old patient, the operation
would have to be repeated 10 or
15 years later, but a third
operation would be impossible.

“For two years we devoted
four afternoons a week to
research,” said Dr. Bousquet.
“After four years of studying
patients suffering from
rheumatism and other diseases
of the knee-joint, we had a
complete knowledge of the
physiology of the knee.

“Theamazing thing about our
invention is that the
physiological and mechanical
conception is new, permitting
more complicated movement of
the knee than was possible
before,”

The prosthesis, made from
chrome, cobalt and molyb-
denum, takes about 50 hours to
make and sells for less than
$600. Its inventors hold patents
for all major countries, in-
cluding the United States,
Canada and Britain.

The first device was placed in
the knee of a 60-year-old patient
who had not walked for two
years. A month and a half later
she was walking normally and
without a cane.

In the first six months of its
experience, the device was
placed in 22 patients. All
operations were considered

successful rom

Team of specialists have perfected artificial kneejoint |

However, the artificial knee-
joint is of no help to patients
whose legs are paralyzed.

“It is no good,” said Dr.
Bousquet, "to put new body-
work and the best transmission
into a car that has no motor,
That will not make it work.”

The device is also of no use to
amputees, as it is in no way an
artificial limb.

The same team of specialists
has also perfected a similar
device for the elbow which
permits normal movement of
the arm and forearm.

GUELPH, Ont. (CP) —
former meter maids who say
they were fired July 13 because
they are too pretty lost a bid to
regain their jobs Monday when
council voted §-to-3 against
reviewing the dismissals.

“We'll take the matter to the
provincial government if we
have to,’’ said 18-year-old
Penny Collier, who was fired
along with Marie Mammoliti,

19.

Ald. Kennedy Hamill said the
decision tolet the girls go, made
by city engineer William
Taylor, should be upheld and
because the girls were
probationary employees no
reason need be given for their
dismissal. ‘

“It is highly unfair,” said
Mrs. Collier. ‘‘We think they are
hiding something and we want
to find out what it is.”

The women were supported in
their appeal to the city by a
petition signed by 650 residents
and merchants.

HONG KONG (Reuter) — Ty-
phoon-battered Hong Kong
struggled back to normal
Wednesday after one of its
worst disasters left 125 persons
feared dead, 300 injured and
2,000 homeless.

Hopes that any more of the 70
to 80 crew of the capsized ferry-
boat Fat Shan, might still be
alive were abandoned Tuesday
night. Only four men survived
the disaster in the 100-mile-an-
hour winds of Typhoon Rose.

Frogmen clambered on to the
side of the 2,637-ton Hong Kong-
Macao ferry which still pro-
truded above 30 feet of water
near Hong Kong’s Lantao
Island and said they found no
sign of life.

Government agencies listed
25 persons dead and about 100
others—including the ferry
