Metatarsal fracture without Lisfranc injury.

Metatarsal fractures are frequent, at one-third of all fractures in the foot. The present study reviews the field, addressing 4 questions. Isolated or associated, benign but, in case of crush injury, sometimes severe, prognosis varies and sequelae can be serious.

Which tendon graft to choose for anatomical ligament reconstruction in chronic lateral ankle instability? A biomechanical study.

Background: The need for anatomic lateral ligament reconstruction of the ankle continues to grow. This procedure usually requires a gracilis autograft or in some cases an allograft. Siegler et al.

Simple foot an ankle value: a simple evaluation correlated to the existing PROMs.

Purpose: The SFAV (Simple Foot and Ankle Value) consists in asking patients how they rate their joint function on the day of the examination, as a percentage of that of a normal joint (0-100% scale with 100% being normal). The main objective was to validate the SFAV by determining its correlation with validated foot and ankle function scores.

Methods: This was a prospective study.

Is subtalar arthroereisis a good procedure in adult-acquired flatfoot? A systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: The aim of the present systematic literature review was to determine results and complications in subtalar arthroereisis for stage-2 adult-acquired flatfoot.

Method: A search of the PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane and Embase databases used MeSH terms "arthroereisis" AND "flatfoot" OR "adult-acquired flatfoot" OR "pes planovalgus" OR "pes planus". Two of the authors analyzed 125 articles.

Type 1 Complex Regional Pain Syndrome After Subacromial Shoulder Surgery: Incidence and Risk Factor Analysis.

Introduction: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) is a potential complication, affecting the prognosis of functional joint recovery. Its incidence ranges from 2 to 40% depending on the series and the joints involved. Very few studies have evaluated the incidence of CRPS after shoulder surgery.

Perineural dexamethasone attenuates liposomal bupivacaine-induced delayed neural inflammation in mice in vivo.

Background: Liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel®) is a sustained-release formulation of bupivacaine for use in surgical infiltration anaesthesia. We analysed the histological nerve toxicity and clinical effectiveness of perineural Exparel® alone or with added dexamethasone in a mouse model.

Methods: We assigned 98 mice receiving a perineural sciatic nerve injection into seven groups: sham (n=14, perineural saline), B (n=14, perineural bupivacaine), BDIP (n=14, perineural bupivacaine + intraperitoneal dexamethasone), BDPN (n=14, perineural bupivacaine + perineural dexamethasone), E (n=14, perineural Exparel®), EDIP (n=14, perineural Exparel® + intraperitoneal dexamethasone), and EDPN (n=14, perineural Exparel® + perineural dexamethasone).

Causes for early and late surgical re-intervention after radial head arthroplasty.

Purpose: The primary objective was to describe the reasons for surgical re-intervention after radial head arthroplasty. The secondary objective was to analyze the radiographic and clinical outcomes after surgical re-intervention at the elbow with implant conservation.

Methods: Among the 70 radial head arthroplasties with bipolar radial head implant performed between 2002 and 2014, 29 required surgical re-interventions.

Historical perspective on the "discovery" of the anterolateral ligament of the knee.

Unlabelled: There is a lively debate about the existence, origins and discoverer of the anterolateral ligament of the knee. The complex anatomy of the lateral aspect of the knee has made it difficult to differentiate between various structures such as the iliotibial band, capsulo-osseous layer, Kaplan's fibres and the anterolateral capsule. The "discovery" of a new anterolateral structure in 2013 was the culmination of many historical studies.

Complications and revisions after semi-constrained total elbow arthroplasty: a mono-centre analysis of one hundred cases.

Background: The complication rate after total elbow arthroplasties is higher than for other arthroplasties.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications and revision rate after 100 semi-constrained total elbow arthroplasties from various types of aetiologies performed in our university hospital.

Methods: One hundred linked semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasties were performed and were reviewed with 24-months minimum follow-up.

Reproducibility of radiographic assessment of femoral implant position after hip resurfacing arthroplasty: a pilot study.

To determine whether femoral implant position can be reproducibly measured on plain digital radiographs, we prospectively studied 40 patients after hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Three observers performed double blinded randomized analysis of calibrated digital radiographs meeting strict quality criteria. The implant stem-shaft angle and femoral anteversion angle were measured by the trapezoid method of axis determination using OsiriX software.

Radiological validation of a fluoroscopic guided technique for femoral implant positioning during hip resurfacing.

Purpose: The positioning of the femoral cup in hip resurfacing is essential for the survival of the implant. We described a technique in 2005 to position the femoral cup guided by fluoroscopy independent of the approach performed. The main objectives were to study the positioning of the femoral components of the implant and the accuracy of the technique.
