Management of neglected post-traumatic ipsilateral distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphysiodeses in adolescent: Case report.

Introduction: It is important to remember the risk of post-traumatic epiphysiodesis in the context of high-speed impacts around the knee. This clinical case illustrates the risk of lower limb length discrepancy resulting from this, the treatment and management thereof. This case is unique in that it presents two ipsilateral distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphysiodeses, with secondary inequality of these two bone segments.

[Subtrochanteric pathological fracture on bisphosphonates].

Bisphosphonates have frequently shown their efficacy in the treatment of osteoporosis, including ibandronate and alendronate. But more and more mention is made in the literature of patients taking a long-term bisphosphonate and undergoing an atypical fracture associated with this therapy. These complications are most often femoral fractures in the proximal part of the femoral diaphysis.

Critical shoulder angle: Measurement reproducibility and correlation with rotator cuff tendon tears.

Background: Associations have been reported linking rotator cuff tears (RCTs) to both greater lateral extension of the acromion and greater inclination of the glenoid cavity. These two factors combined can be assessed using a recently introduced parameter, the critical shoulder angle (CSA). The primary objective of this study was to confirm the association linking a high CSA value to RCTs, and the secondary objective was to assess the reproducibility of CSA measurement using a goniometer.

Pseudoaneurysm after total knee arthroplasty: a rare complication with different possible clinical presentations.

We report three cases of false aneurysm involving the popliteal artery or one of its branches following total knee replacement. Two of them developed after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the third one after a revision TKA. False aneurysm is a rare complication of TKA.
