[Diagnosis of tuberculous arthritis : a sometimes long and winding road].

Extraspinal tuberculous arthritis is a rare entity in developed countries, mostly found in populations of migrants. We describe a case of foot osteoarthritis in a young migrant, with an arduous diagnostic process. The sequence of the diagnostic studies (imaging, articular tap, bone biopsy together with cultures and molecular biology) must follow a logic based on clinical suspicion and on the knowledge of the diagnostic values of different tests.

Pronator teres selective neurectomy in children with cerebral palsy.

Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to evaluate the results after selective pronator teres (PT) neurectomy in children with spastic hemiplegia. Patients with PT spasticity without contracture and an active supination improvement after PT botulinum toxin injection were included. Hand function and deformities were evaluated with the House score, Gschwind and Tonkin pronation deformity classification and Zancolli's classification.

Shoulder bony landmarks location using the EOS low-dose stereoradiography system: a reproducibility study.

Purpose: To investigate the reproducibility of shoulder bony landmarks location using the EOS low-dose stereoradiography system, in order to validate this new tool for the study of gleno-humeral pseudo-kinematics.

Methods: An inter and intraobserver reproducibility study of shoulder bony landmarks location concerning 22 healthy volunteers. This study concerned the neutral position, arm at rest.
