Material The patients were all seen in the Casualty Department of the Middlesex Hospital. They were divided into two groups: (i) Closed soft tissue injuries, i.e. bruises, hvmatomata, etc.; and (2) joint injuries, i.e. sprains. One hundred consecutive cases of each type were collected, alternate cases being given Varidase Buccal, i tablet (streptokinase IO,OOO units/ streptodornase minimum of 2,500 units) q.i.d. for three days. The controls were given no tablets, but local treatment was the same in both treated and untreated cases. Children under 14 years of age and patients with associated bony injury were excluded from the series.
