[Total hip replacement as a result of coxalgia: about 10 cases].

Coxalgia causes osteocartilaginous destructions of the hip joint; these lesions are responsible for severe pain leading to functional discomfort and limitations in everyday life. Their surgical treatment is still not well established. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the interest of total hip arthroplasty associated with anti-tuberculous chemotherapy to improve patients' quality of life.

[Cubitus varus: external subtraction osteotomy, should it still be recommended? Retrospective study of 25 cases].

Cubitus varus or malunion is most often secondary to displaced supracondylar fractures of the lower end of the humerus in children. Various surgical techniques have been proposed with different success rates but also with different reported complication rates. Our retrospective study of 25 cases diagnosed at the University Hospital of Rabat evaluated the results of the technique of external subtraction which was used in our training to handle this deformation.

Nonoperative treatment of closed total talus dislocation without fracture: A case report and literature review.

Complete dislocation of the talus not accompanied by a fracture is a very rare injury. Most cases reported are open talus dislocations; closed dislocations are rarely seen. The functional prognosis is poor due to osteonecrosis of the talus which develops in the majority of cases.

The Monteggia fracture: series of 20 cases.

The Monteggia fracture is one of the pitfalls of conventional diagnosis of upper limb trauma. Through a retrospective study of 20 cases diagnosed at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, University Hospital Center, Ibn Sina, Mohamed V University, Rabat, Morocco, between 2010 and 2014, we have tried to do an update on the management of Monteggia fractures either at of paraclinical exams or the surgical management. We support the idea that the dislocation of the radial head should be sought systematically to any isolated fracture of the ulna, for not to miss fracture Monteggia authentic.

Schwannoma of the median nerve: diagnosis sometimes delayed.

Schwannoma is a tumor that develops from nerve sheath. The authors report an unusual case of schwannoma of the median nerve (MN) that remained asymptomatic for four years. The diagnosis was based on MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and histopathological examination.

A rare cause of chronic sciatic pain: Schwannoma of the sciatic nerve.

Schwannomas are common, benign tumors of the shelth of peripheral nerves. Sciatic schwannomas are rare. Their symptomatology usually mimics sciatic pain due to a herniated disc, which can delay the diagnosis.

Osteoblastoma of the carpal navicular: a case report and review of the literature.

Osteoblastoma of the scaphoid is an infrequent cause of hand and wrist pain. The few reported cases emphasize the rarity of osteoblastoma in hand and wrist localizations. Pathological examination is mandatory before treatment due to lack of distinctive clinical and radiological features.

Hydatidosis of the pelvic bone: case report and review of the literature.

The authors report three cases of pelvic bone hydatidosis: two men and a woman aged from 25 to 42 years. The lesions were extensive: In two cases, they extended to the entire hemipelvis, and in one case, the extension was to the sacrum, which makes it difficult to carry out a radical surgery. In two cases, computed tomography was evocative and allowed for the completion of a local and precise checkup for a patient through MRI.

Bilateral anterior dislocation of the shoulders at the start of a backstroke competition.

Bilateral anterior dislocation of the shoulders is very rare. A 20-year-old man presented with bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation as a result of a diving incident. He complained of pain and restriction of movement in both shoulders with abducted and externally rotated arms.
