For the purpose of evaluating the medical factors (ie, deformity or disfigurement or

tous type) and thin results are summerized below:
1. Of 975 patients, 571 (59%) had either deformity or disfigurement or were
bacteriologically positive while 404(41%) were free from these disabilities.
2. Of 975 patients, 207 cases (21.2%) were bacteriological positive.
3. Deformities of the extremities were observed in 574 cases (58.9%) and among them
234 cases(24%) had deformities in upper extremity, 48 cases (4.9%) in lower and 292
cases (30%) had in both.
4. Of 1950 arms, 899 arms (46.2%) had one or the other deformity; 37(1.9%) had
wrist-drop and 708 hands (36.4%) had loss of pinching power; of 9750 fingers,
2998(30.8%) were claw fingers and 1264 (12.9%) were irreductable fingers.
5. Of 1950 legs, 462 legs (23.6%) had deformities, 115 feet had drop foot and 23 legs
(1.2%) were amputated.

9. Of 975 patients, 229 cases (24.5%) had dim vision and deformities in both
extremities.
10. Out of 571 cases, 127 were not fit for surgery because of very gross deformities:
392 (40%) were in such a stage that reconstructive and plastic surgery would improve
their physical condition but not completely; and 52 (5.3%) could by reconstructive and
plastic surgery be restored almost to their previous normal physical condition. |
