Results of talectomy for inveterate or recurrent clubfoot.

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to define indications for talectomy in congenital paralytic, dystrophic or idiopathic, inveterate or recurrent, clubfoot.

Hypothesis: Talectomy is a valid option for paralytic, dystrophic or idiopathic, inveterate or recurrent, clubfoot.

Patients And Methods: A single-center retrospective series comprised 52 clubfeet in 31 patients.

Does the cement mantle thickness influence the glenoid loosening in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty? An experimental study.

Background: Glenoid component loosening is the most frequent failure mode. Few data are available on the effect of thickness of cement on glenoid loosening. The purpose of this study is to determine if the cement mantle thickness influences the mode and localization of loosening.

Does bone density of the greater tuberosity change in patients over 70?

Introduction: There are no published studies on bone density of the greater tuberosity of the humerus, which could influence the stability of reinsertion by suture anchors. The goal of our study was to determine the influence of age, gender and the type of tear on the quality of bone in the greater tuberosity.

Methodology: Ninety-eight patients over the age of 60 were included, 41 without a rotator cuff tear and 57 with an isolated stage 1 or 2 supraspinatus tear and fatty infiltration (FI) ≤ 2.

Morphological analysis of the glenoid version in the axial plane according to age.

Purpose: Total shoulder arthroplasty planning requires a preoperative assessment of the glenoid version. This study aimed to determine the morphologic profile of the glenoid cavity and our null hypothesis was that age may affect the spiraling aspect.

Method: 114 CT arthrographies of patients from 15 to 78 years old were included.

CT arthrography and anatomical correlation of the bare area of the ulnar trochlear fossa: a risk of misdiagnosis of cartilage ulcerations.

Aims: There is a variable bare area on the ulnar trochlear fossa that may be somehow interpreted as a cartilage defect. We aimed to correlate radiological images and dissections of this bare spot with CT arthrography imaging.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a double study that included 10 unpaired fresh-frozen human cadaveric elbows (CT arthrography + dissection) and 40 CT arthrography of patients to investigate the 3-D architecture of the trochlear fossa of the ulna.
