[Avulsion fractures of the distal part of the radius with anterior displacement in children].

The authors report 7 cases of fractures of the distal part of the radius, with a frontal displacement with children. This fracture is rare in pediatric traumatology. There is no particular type of mechanism that will provoke that fracture; in five cases the child was falling down on the palm of his hand and in two cases in a forced flexion.

[Systematization of the musculo-tendinous architecture of the human biceps (musculus biceps brachii)].

The structure of the brachial biceps is studied based upon the bilateral dissections of six subjects. The object of this work consists of determining the distribution of the group and muscular fibers in relation to the two proximal insertions and the two distal insertions. It is possible to describe the subgroups within each structure.

[Internal hernia in the duodenal fossae. 3 cases].

Para-duodenal strangulated hernia is an unusual operative finding. The entraped position of intestinal loops in a vascularized pouch allow to recognize the lesion, the site of the neck of the hernia point out its anatomic form. Pre-operative diagnosis seems difficult to access in spite of numerous investigation'means.

[Acute intestinal invagination in infants and children. Analysis of 125 cases treated surgically].

125 children were treated for acute intussusception with :-- Barium enema to establish the diagnosis and to do partial reduction--Even when total reduction is radiologically obtained a surgical control is done with routine appendicectomy.--The rate of recurrence is 3,2% occurring from 1 to 2 years after surgery. In 18% of our cases (23 patients) an organic etiology was discovered at surgery but in one patient only this was documented ona barium enema which demonstrated the necessity of systematic laparotomy.

[Fractures of the tuberculum intercondyloideum laterale in children].

Thirty-one fractures of the tibial spine in children have been treated, two of them being old fractures. They were reviewed after a minimum follow-up of six months and a maximum of seven years. Ten were treated conservatively, 21 operatively.
