Open acromion fracture with a massive rotator cuff tear: A rare injury, case report.

Introduction And Importance: The combination of an open acromion fracture with a massive rotator cuff tear is an exceptional lesion, rarely described in the literature. It generally occurs after open shoulder trauma, and requires well-codified therapeutic measures to avoid complications that could keep the patient from being as autonomous as possible and able to perform daily activities.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 26-year-old patient with a wound on the posterior surface of the left shoulder following an attack.

A rare polydactyly of the forefoot with partial duplication of the 5th metatarsal and supernumerary digit: A case report.

Introduction: Polydactyly of the foot is a congenital anomaly characterized by the appearance of all or part of one or more additional rays. Adult cases are more rare, and surgical management of the deformity is still debated.

Presentation Of Case: A 49-year-old black patient with this condition might complain of an abnormal cosmetic appearance or difficulty with footwear.

Aseptic nonunion of the tibia treated by plating and bone grafting: retrospective study about 40 cases.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of the treatment of aseptic nonunion of the tibia by plating and bone grafting.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 40 patients with aseptic nonunion of the tibia, treated in the Trauma-Orthopedic department B4 of CHU Hassan II in Fez-Morocco. The average age was 41 years (range 25-60 years).

[Total knee replacement without patellar resurfacing: about 60 cases].

During total knee replacement, one of the main problems of surgeon is to choose between preservation of the patella or resurfacing with prosthetic replacement of patellar cartilage. This issue continues to be a subject of controversy within the orthopaedic community. There is no clear consensus on the optimal approach to the patella during total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

[Emergency coverage of post-traumatic losses of cutaneous substances of the anterior face of the knee using proximally based sural fasciocutaneous flap: about 4 cases of articular wounds].

Our study reports 4 cases of male patients with wounds on the anterior face of the knee loosing cutaneous substance after motorcycle accident. The patients had undergone surgery involving the debridement and the application of four proximally based sural fasciocutaneous flaps since 2012. The average age of patients ranged from 28 to 42 years.

[Triplane fracture of the proximal end of the tibia: a rare lesion (case study and literature review)].

We here report the case of a 16-year old patient with triplane fracture of the proximal end of the tibia due to a sporting accident occurred during a cycling race. CT scan (CT) was performed to assess the fracture with a high level of accuracy. After identification of all fragments requiring osteosynthesis, closed reduction was performed with fixation of fracture fragments using cannulated screws.

Hoffa's fat pad tumours like: results of the arthroscopic resection.

We performed a retrospective cohort study to increase awareness in orthopaedic community of this rare but interesting disease which is often misdiagnosed as meniscal pathology and to analyze present results of arthroscopic resection in seven patients. we retrospectively reviewed records from 2008-2012 and identified 7 patients with symptomatic Hoffa's fat pad impingement. The diagnosis was made by clinical exam, MRI imaging and verified arthroscopically.
