    Preface. rhe present work was carried out in the University Institute for Human Genetics within the years 1943—1947. I wish to thank Professor Tage Kemp, M. D., Director of the Institute, for good working conditions and for valuable assistance and guidance during my investigations. My thanks are due also to the medical superintendents of the Orthopaedic Hospitals of Copenhagen and Aarhus, P. Guildal, and P. G. K. Bentzon, M. D., for permission to use the case records of their départements. Likewise I want to thank a number of radiologists, in particular Professor Flemming Moller, M. D., my former chief, for having placed radiographs at my disposal. I am greatly indebted to various general practitioners for their assistance in procuring the material of patients. The patients have displayed a unique understanding and readiness to submit to examination, for which I am grateful to them. My sincere thanks are due to my wife, Ellen Birch-Jensen, lawyer, for her help and encouragement. I have received financial support for the work from P. Carl Petersen's Fond, for which I express my thanks. January 1949. Arne Birch-Jensen.
