Arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal joint with the Tactys modular prosthesis: Results in case of index finger and clinodactyly.

There are various surgical solutions for arthrosis of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint: arthrodesis or denervation. Clinodactyly that is major and the index fingers are traditional contraindications for PIP arthroplasty prostheses. The recurrence of clinodactyly with ligament imbalance and mechanical complications are known complications.

Can objective criteria for poor tolerance of proximal humerus malunion be identified?

Background: Malunion of the proximal humerus is common and variably tolerated. Classifications developed for proximal humerus malunion (PHM) rely on standard radiographs, which underestimate bone fragment displacement and lack accuracy. The clinical tolerance of PHM is subjective, and revision surgery is not always necessary.

Functional and socioprofessional outcome of surgery for Volkmann's contracture.

Objectives: Volkmann's ischemic contracture is rare and surgical treatment remains a challenge. The goal of treatment is to obtain permanent recovery of joint range of motion and strength. The goal of this study was to evaluate the functional and socioprofessional outcome of surgical treatment of Volkmann's ischemic contracture.

Arthroscopic arthrodesis of the shoulder in brachial plexus palsy.

Background: Shoulder arthroscopic arthrodesis is an uncommon and non-standardized procedure. Results are poorly evaluated. We describe the findings in 8 patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopic arthrodesis for brachial plexus injury.
