[Results of total knee arthroplasty on excessive genu varum superior to 20°].

Background: Total knee arthroplasty on excessive genu varum is a more demanding technique and gives worst results than procedures on moderate deformations. It remains a subject of controversies due to the lack of consensus. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on excessive genu varum (superior to 20°) by analyzing pre and post operative clinical and radiological parameters.

Melorheostosis: a rare entity: a case report.

Melorheostosis is a rare entity belonging to the group of sclerotic bone dysplasias. Described for the first time in 1922 by Leri, it remains imperfectly known as clinical presentations are highly variable, and the etiological diagnosis is not fully elucidated. We report a case of polyostoticmelorheostosis for which radiological investigations were complete, in order to study this disease.

An association of vertebral breast cancer metastasis and multiple myeloma, revealed by a spinal cord compression.

Authors describe the case of a patient with breast cancer and multiple myeloma as the second metachronous disease responsible for spinal cord compression. Synchronous occurrence of bone marrow breast cancer disease and multiple myeloma has not been described in the literature, as in this case. By presenting this case, we point to possible association between both diseases and the possible factors involved in the development of second malignant disease.
