[One-year mortality after a hip fracture: prospective study of a cohort of patients aged over 75 years old].

Unlabelled: Hip fracture (HF) is a serious complication of the elderly who have suffered a fall. Studies focused on patients over 75 years old without excluding the most vulnerable are not frequent. Before we can think about the creation of an orthogeriatric unit, we evaluated the mortality rate one year after a HF only of patients over 75 years old and we identified associated factors with mortality, functional status and living.

Arthroscopic elbow joint release with radial head resection arthroplasty: 12 cases.

Background: Elbow arthritis typically affects manual labourers aged 40 to 50 years and usually starts in the lateral compartment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the medium-term clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes in 12 patients after arthroscopic elbow joint release and radial head resection arthroplasty.

Hypothesis: Our main hypothesis was that pre-operative damage to the radio-capitellar joint was associated with poorer clinical outcomes after elbow joint release.
