Brain F-FDG PET imaging in outpatients with post-COVID-19 conditions: findings and associations with clinical characteristics.

Background: Brain F-FDG PET imaging has the potential to provide an objective assessment of brain involvement in post-COVID-19 conditions but previous studies of heterogeneous patient series yield inconsistent results. The current study aimed to investigate brain F-FDG PET findings in a homogeneous series of outpatients with post-COVID-19 conditions and to identify associations with clinical patient characteristics.

Methods: We retrospectively included 28 consecutive outpatients who presented with post-COVID-19 conditions between September 2020 and May 2022 and who satisfied the WHO definition, and had a brain F-FDG PET for suspected brain involvement but had not been hospitalized for COVID-19.

Radial neck osteolysis after radial head replacement: Functional impact and risk factors.

Introduction: Onset of radial neck osteolysis (RNO) has been reported after radial head replacement (RHR), but data are sparse regarding impact and risk factors. We therefore conducted a retrospective study, 1) to quantify RNO after RHR, 2) to assess clinical and radiological impact, and 3) to identify risk factors.

Hypothesis: RNO prevalence is high, but functional impact is limited.

Musculocutaneous flap of the medial head of the triceps brachii: pedicled flap to cover the posterior cubital region.

Introduction: The medial head of the triceps brachii flap is already described as a local muscular or as a free flap. It allows coverage of defects of the posterior cubital region. The aim of this study was to describe the vascular anatomy of the musculocutaneous medial triceps brachii pedicled flap.

An anatomical study of the fetal superior capsule of the glenohumeral joint.

Introduction: The superior part of the glenohumeral joint capsule has an intimate relationship with the tendons of the rotator cuff and the tendon of the long head of the biceps. One of the strategies currently proposed in the event of a massive cuff rupture is to reconstruct this superior capsule. The main objective of this anatomical study was to describe the superior joint capsule of the embryonic glenohumeral joint and its relationship to the tendons of the rotator cuff.

Conservative treatment of distal fractures after the age of 65: a review of literature.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of conservative treatment of distal radius fractures in the elderly since 2000. Our series included 22 articles, of which 3 reviews, 2 meta-analyses, 6 descriptive series of conservative treatment, 10 series comparing surgical and conservative treatments and 1 series comparing different types of conservative treatments. The reduction was performed by closed reduction in 7 cases and by traction in 3 cases.
