Intercalary allograft reconstruction following femoral tumour resection: mid- and long-term results and benefits of adding a vascularised fibula autograft.

Purpose: Bone healing in femoral reconstructions using intercalary allografts can be compromised in a tumour context. There is also a high revision rate for non-union, infection, and fractures in this context. The advantages and disadvantages of an associated vascularised fibula graft (VFG) are still a matter of debate.

Linear relationship between lateralization of the bicipital groove and humeral retroversion and its link with the biepicondylar humeral line. Anatomical study of seventy cadaveric humerus scans.

Introduction: Morphological studies of the humerus have shown that the position of the bicipital groove varies with the individual and the retroversion of the humeral head. Depending on the authors, these two parameters are independent or associated. This study evaluated the relationship between the humeral head axis and its retroversion and the bicipital groove relative to the humeral biepicondylar line.

Bousquet dual mobility socket for patient under fifty years old. More than twenty year follow-up of one hundred and thirty one hips.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze dual mobility cup survival rate on young patients under 50 years old at more than 20 years of follow up.

Methods: One hundred thirty seven hips with a first generation of dual mobility Bousquet cup (Serf) were included. The mean age at the time of the surgery was 41 years and the mean follow-up was 21.

Long-term functional and radiological outcomes of allograft hip prosthesis composite. A fourteen -year follow-up study.

Purpose: Allograft hip composite prosthesis (APC) is a type of reconstruction after resection of the proximal femur. This study aimed to assess long-term outcomes after an APC reconstruction.

Materials And Methods: Forty-six patients were retrospectively included (14 revision total hip replacements, 30 primary malignant bone tumors, two metastasis).

Total hip arthroplasty with dual mobility cup in osteonecrosis of the femoral head in young patients: over ten years of follow-up.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head affects mainly young patients with high functional needs this increases the risk of dislocation. Dual mobility cups known for low rate of dislocation and high mobility range seems indicated. We evaluate functional efficiency, survival and dislocation rate of dual mobility cup for total hip arthroplasty for osteonecrosis in young patients.

Squared ligament of the elbow: anatomy and contribution to forearm stability.

Objective: The present study describes the macroscopic and microscopic features of the squared ligament of the elbow (SLE). In addition, the SLE biomechanical behavior and contribution to the forearm stability were also examined.

Materials And Methods: Ten forearms from freshly frozen cadavers were used for this work.

Unilateral duplication of the acromioclavicular joint: case report and literature review.

Clavicle duplication is a rare anatomical variation of the scapular belt: only seven cases have been reported in the literature to date, and only one took note of the existence of a duplication of the acromioclavicular joint. Two hypotheses have been proposed to interpret this variation: genetic factors, or trauma occurred in the growth period. Clavicle duplication should not be mistaken for a quite frequent coracoclavicular joint widely described.
