[Retinaculum flexors: clinical and experimental anatomic bases in favor of reconstruction in carpal tunnel surgery].

The goal of this anatomical study is to prove that reconstruction of the flexor retinaculum in carpal tunnel syndrome surgery is a reliable procedure and can improve the results of this procedure. In the first static study, we noted that when left to heal spontaneously, after 3 months the gap between the two edges of the cut retinaculum remained equal to or even larger than the gap created at the time of the surgery. A special Canaletto implant was created to achieve this reconstruction.

[Orthopedic treatment of fifth metacarpal neck fractures: prospective study].

Many methods of treatment have been proposed for the metacarpal neck fractures of the little finger, from early mobilisation to open or closed surgical techniques. A prospective studies of 20 cases treated by a non surgical technique is presented. The reduction was performed by manipulation under local anesthesia according to the Jahss technique and a modified Thomine brace was applied for four weeks.

[Evaluation of the Scarf osteotomy in hallux valgus related to distal metatarsal articular angle: a prospective study of 79 operated cases].

Purpose Of The Study: The hallux valgus surgery concerns many operative techniques. The purpose of this report was to evaluate the radiographic results of the Scarf osteotomy related to Distal Metatarsal Articular Angle (DMAA).

Material And Methods: The Scarf osteotomy was performed on 79 feet with an hallux valgus deformity (75 females and 4 males from 16 to 82 years).
