Early presentation of traumatic cervical disc herniation with neurologic deficit and without an adjacent bone lesion.

Aim Of The Study: The purpose of this study was to explore clinical features and the operational opportunity of traumatic cervical disc herniation.

Method: Patients with cervical spine injury (413) were retrospectively reviewed. Six patients with neurological deficits were identified to have disc herniation without adjacent bone lesion.

[Fracture-separation of the medial clavicular epiphysis: about 6 cases and review of the literature].

This study aims to describe the epidemiological characteristics and the different anatomo-clinical entities of the fracture-separation of the medial clavicular epiphysis but also to relate the morphological and functional results of bloody reduction followed by osteosuture using non absorbable thread. Five boys and one girl (mean age 14 years) showed a closed and isolated shoulder girdle trauma. Clinical examination and medical imaging, especially CT scan, allowed the diagnosis of epiphyseal separation and to classify the degree of medial clavicular epiphysiseal ossification indicating the direction of displacement as well as the nature of displacement according to the Salter-Harris classification.
