Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term functional and MRI results of 35 patients who underwent bicruciate ligament reconstruction combining an ACL autograft using the gracilis and semitendinosus tendons and double-bundle PCL reconstruction using the LARS artificial ligament.
Methods: The outcomes were measured using the Lysholm score, the Tegner activity level scale and the International Knee Documentation Committee form (IKDC 2000). KT-1000 was used to assess the clinical anterior knee laxity.
Fracture-dislocations of the midfoot are relatively rare injuries. We present a case of a 20-year-old man presenting with navicular-cuneiform and calcaneal-cuboid fracture-dislocation of his right foot due to a crush injury during work. The patient's injury was treated by open reduction internal fixation.

The study hypothesis was that our surgical technique is associated with radiological rotation disorder rates equivalent to those reported in the literature.
Methods: All patients with unilateral femoral shaft fracture treated by anterograde nailing between January 2014 and December 2016 and followed up in our structure were included in a single-center prospective study.

Introduction: Short stems are not all the same and do not meet the same objectives in terms of shape, fixation and biomechanics. The Taperloc Microplasty™ is a shortened stem. In France, no articles have been published on this subject and very few articles are available in the international literature.

The theoretical pitfall of this technique is that the graft length is determined arbitrarily. Thus, if the blind tunnels are not long enough, it will be impossible to tension the graft properly upon fixation.
