Article Synopsis
- Trochanteric fractures are a significant health concern for the aging population, leading to increased morbidity and mortality, and treatment focuses on promoting independence and reducing complications like postoperative anemia.
- A study was conducted to compare the effects of minimally invasive side plate fixation (MISS™) against conventional fixation (PHS™) in terms of perioperative bleeding and recovery outcomes in patients over 65 with isolated reducible trochanteric fractures.
- Results indicated that MISS significantly reduced perioperative bleeding, operating time, and scar length compared to PHS, suggesting that it may be a more effective surgical option for these patients.
Background: The curvature of the femoral shaft is generally considered as residing in the sagittal plane. While many studies have measured the femur's radius of curvature, very few have studied the orientation of the plane in which it resides. The orientation of this plane may affect the rotation of intramedullary nails or revision stems with diaphyseal locking.

- Referral Centers for Bone and Joint Infection were established to enhance the management of septic arthritis through teamwork, and the study focused on assessing the effect of the Western France center on treatment outcomes for septic arthritis in the shoulder and knee.
- A retrospective analysis included 52 patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment along with antibiotic therapy, and the results showed a significant decrease in treatment failure rates after the center's establishment, from 42.9% to 11.8%.
- The study concluded that multidisciplinary approaches led to improved treatment success, particularly noting that a higher percentage of patients in the failure group had immunosuppression.
Medial collateral ligament lengthening by standardized pie-crusting technique: A cadaver study.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
June 2016
Introduction: Pie-crusting (PC) is a tissue expansion technique using multiple perforation to lengthen the medial collateral ligament (MCL), but has still to be codified.
Hypothesis: Standardized MCL PC allows measured opening of the medial femorotibial (MFT) joint line, without risk of MCL tear.
Material And Method: Thirty-one knees were dissected, with medial parapatellar arthrotomy and resection of the cruciate ligaments and menisci.
Contribution of static and dynamic ultrasound in cubital tunnel syndrome.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
June 2014
Introduction: Electroneuromyography (ENMG) is the gold standard examination in cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS), but sheds no light on etiology. High-resolution ultrasound (HRU) analyzes the anatomic abnormalities and physical properties of the ulnar nerve (UN) and enables dynamic study. The present non-randomized prospective study compared HRU with clinical, ENMG and intraoperative findings.
