Hydatid cyst of the gluteal muscle: a case report and literature review.

Introduction: Echinococcosis is a relatively widespread anthropozoonosis in endemic regions, preferentially affecting the liver and lungs. Although rare, it can sometimes be localized in the muscles. The clinical symptoms are insidious and not very indicative, often leading to a delayed diagnosis.

Aseptic nonunion of the tibia treated by plating and bone grafting: retrospective study about 40 cases.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of the treatment of aseptic nonunion of the tibia by plating and bone grafting.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 40 patients with aseptic nonunion of the tibia, treated in the Trauma-Orthopedic department B4 of CHU Hassan II in Fez-Morocco. The average age was 41 years (range 25-60 years).

[Coverage in the management of loss of skin substances on the lower third of the leg: about 9 cases].

Coverage of loss of skin substances on the lower third of the leg is a challenging problem. This is due to adjacent soft tissues impairment, shortage of local vascularization and bone exposure. We conducted a retrospective study of a series of 9 cases of skin coverage of the lower third of the leg treated at the University Hospital Hassan II of Fez from 2016 to 2018.

[Infection and detachment of total hip prosthesis due to listeria monocytogenes].

Joint prostheses are increasingly used in our current practice. Infection is one of the most dreaded complications; it is most often due to germs of the skin flora. Listeria monocytogenes rarely causes this infection.

[Direct medical costs of hospital treatment of fractures of the upper extremity of the femur].

Fractures of the upper extremity of the femur are serious because of their morbidity and social and/or economic consequences. They have been the subject of several studies of world literature concerning their hospital treatment, evolution and prevention. The increase in the incidence of this pathology seems unavoidable due to population ageing and to the lengthening life expectancy; it is posing a real long-term public health problem whose importance will be further increased by the need to control health care costs.

Nonunion of Fractures of the Ulna and Radius Diaphyses: Clinical and Radiological Results of Surgical Treatment.

Aseptic nonunion of the radius and ulna is a major complication of forearm fractures, accounting for 2% to 10% of all forearm fractures. The aim of our study is to evaluate the functional and radiological results of surgical treatment of diaphyseal aseptic nonunion of the radius and ulna, with autologous bone grafting, decortication and internal plate fixation. A series of 21 patients (26 nonunions) was retrospectively reviewed, the average age was 35 years with a mean of 31,58 years (range 12-44 years).

[Total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of congenital hip dislocations in adults: about 15 cases].

Total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of congenital dislocation represents a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. It is now well established that the treatment of congenital hip dislocation in adults is a real "functional miracle". The evolution of surgical techniques and materials has expanded the indications for prosthetic replacement including the most complex cases and thus going against Charnley and Feagin who wrote in 1973 that there was no place for total hip arthroplasty in inveterate dislocations.

ACETABULAR COMPONENT ORIENTATION IN TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY: THE ROLE OF ACETABULAR TRANSVERSE LIGAMENT.

Objective: The aim of our study is to present the benefit of using the transvers acetabular ligament for intraoperative determination of the anteversion of acetabular component.

Methods: Twenty-one total hip arthroplasties were performed. The transverse acetabular ligament was identified and used as a guide to position the acetabular component.

[Glomus tumors of the hand: a retrospective study of 11 cases].

MASSON described glomus tumour as a benign neuromyoarterial proliferation. It represents approximately 1% -5% of all tumors of the hand. Pain is the main clinical sign.

[Digital replantation, results and complications: study of a series of 18 cases].

Digital amputations are frequent injuries, the majority of them are caused by workplace accidents. Microsurgical techniques are an alternative option to repair these amputations. This study aims to report our experience in digital replantation through the examination of 18 cases.

Cutaneous tuberculosis revealing multifocal tuberculosis in immunocompetent patients.

Multifocal tuberculosis (TB) is rare. It occurs especially in immunocompromised patients. Association with skin involvement is rarer, and few cases are reported in the literature.

Unusual ankle fracture: A case report and literature review.

Fractures of the talus are uncommon, and talar body fractures in the sagittal plane are still rarer. The aim of its treatment is urgent anatomic reduction to restore congruency of the ankle and to reduce the risk of avascular necrosis by preserving any remaining blood supply. We report the case of a body talar fracture in sagittal plane associated with fracture of the medial malleolus in a young adult; the mechanism of the fracture was plantar hyperflexion, internal rotation and axial compression.

Hip arthroplasty in a patient with transfemoral amputation: a new tip.

Femoral fractures in amputation stump are challenging injuries to manage. The authors describe a case of a 51-year-old patient with a right above knee amputation, who had a right hip femoral neck fracture. In this technical note, we describe a technical and surgical procedure with intraoperative tips and tricks, in which we use commonly available materials, for the safe management in such clinical situations.

Unusual combination of lesions of the traumatic hand: closed central slip laceration of the extensor and interphalangeal thumb joint's dislocation (a case report).

From the functional standpoint, the hand is one of the most important organs of the body. However, its significance depends largely upon the pincer action of the thumb-index. The management of traumatic lesions of the hand is nowadays' subject of numerous scientific discussions.

Bone lymphoma revealed by cruralgia during pregnancy: a case report.

Pregnancy complicated by Non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is rare, about 100 cases have been reported. We will describe the case of a multifocal bone lymphoma revealed by a left hyperalgetic and deficient cruralgia in a female in the second trimester of pregnancy.

Fractures of the neck of the fifth metacarpal bone, treated by percutaneous intramedullary nailing: surgical technique, radiological and clinical results study (28 cases).

This study report the results in 28 patients affected by closed fractures of the neck of the fifth metacarpal bone (boxer's fracture), treated with percutaneous elastic intramedullary nailing using a single wire, to verify the effectiveness of this surgical treatment. We reviewed the results of 28 patients treated with A single Kirschner wire (K-wire) pre-bent in a lazy-S fashion with a mild bend at approximately 5 millimeters, The K-wire is inserted blunt end first in an antegrade manner and the fracture reduced as the wire is passed across the fracture site The wire is usually removed with pliers post-operatively at four weeks in the fracture clinic. The follow-up period averaged of 20,75 months.

The intramedullary nailing using a single knee incision for treatment of extraarticular floating knee (nine cases).

Context: Floating knee injuries are uncommon and complex injuries. Management of this injury has been variously described in the literature.

Aims: We present the outcome of the intramedullary nailing using a single knee incision for treatment of extraarticular floating knee.

Closed medial total subtalar joint dislocation without ankle fracture: a case report.

Introduction: Total subtalar dislocation without fracture of the ankle is a rare clinical entity; it is usually due to a traumatic high-energy mechanism. Standard treatment is successful closed reduction under general anesthesia followed by non-weight bearing and ankle immobilization with a below-knee cast for 6 weeks.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 30-year-old Moroccan woman who was involved in a road traffic accident.
