Case Report: Atypical acute compartment syndrome of the forearm in a child following minor trauma with consecutive osteomyelitis.

Introduction: Forearm compartment syndrome (CS) in children is above all a clinical diagnosis whose main cause is traumatic. However, rarer causes such as infection can alter its clinical presentation.

Clinical Case: An 8-year-old boy has been seen in the emergency department complaining of severe forearm pain under a splint in a mild traumatic context.

Total knee arthroplasty after former knee fusion in a patient with Ehlers Danlos syndrome.

A 46-year-old female patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome had undergone fusion of her right knee 25 years before presentation. This markedly affected her quality of life. She underwent a two-stage conversion to a constrained rotating-hinge total knee arthroplasty.

In vitro biomechanical study of femoral torsion disorders: effect on moment arms of thigh muscles.

Background: Lower limb torsion disorders have been considered as a factor inducing gonarthrosis and the three-dimensional effect of the surgical correction is not well reported yet. This paper reports an in vitro study aiming at quantifying the relationships between experimental femoral torsion disorders and moment arms of thigh muscles.

Methods: Five unembalmed lower limbs were used and fixed on an experimental jig.

In vitro biomechanical study of femoral torsion disorders: effect on femoro-tibial kinematics.

Background: Gonarthrosis is a degenerative disease mainly found in elderly persons. Frontal plane deviations are known to induce lateral and medial gonarthrosis. Nevertheless, patients suffer from gonarthrosis without frontal deviations.
