The proximal vastus lateralis flap: An anatomical and radiological study.

Introduction: Soft-tissue reconstruction following acetabular or proximal femur resection for bone tumors is challenging. The vastus lateralis flap has been proposed as an advancement or rotational flap to cover soft-tissue defects for such locoregional indications. We performed an anatomical and a radiological study to assess the vascularization of the proximal vastus lateralis muscle achieved through the transverse branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery in order to decrease the morbidity of the classical flap retrieval technique.

Intraoperative Cone Beam Tomography and Navigation for Displaced Acetabular Fractures: A Comparative Study.

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of reduction of the acetabular articular surface using an intraoperative computed tomography scanner (O-Arm) and screw navigation compared with a classical open technique.

Design: Prospective matched cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Normal Range of Patellar Tendon Elasticity Using the Sharewave Elastography Technique: An In Vivo Study in Normal Volunteers.

In-vivo investigation of tendon mechanical properties in healthy subjects using Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) techniques is a relatively new field of study. This work aims to evaluate the elastic properties of the patellar tendon in various knee range of flexion. Twenty healthy adult subjects were enrolled in the study.

Five to thirteen year results of a cemented dual mobility socket to treat recurrent dislocation.

Purpose: Dual mobility (DM) socket has been associated with a low rate of dislocation following both primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, little is known about the long-term efficiency of DM in the treatment of THA instability. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcome of a cemented DM socket to treat recurrent dislocation after a minimum of five year follow-up.
