Assessment of intra-articular volume of the wrist: a comparative study between CT-arthrography and dissection.

The aim of this study was to compare the intra-articular volumes of the wrist's joint measured by CT-arthrography and by dissection on ten cadavers. A good correlation was found between CT-arthrography and dissection in the assessment of the intra-articular volume of both wrist joints. A volume of 1.

[Evolution and surgical treatment of wrist sprains, 10 years of experience].

A retrospective study about 177 patients which were treated for dorsal ruptures of radiocarpal ligaments in 10 years allow to present a surgical procedure for treatment of sprain of wrist. It is a jacket plasty or an anchorage, effected for 159 of all of them, after the lesion was made in evidence with the help of a selective compartimental arthrography. The recovery of the function of the wrist was obtained medially 10.

[Osteocartilaginous reconstruction, research and clinical application].

Facing the problem set by losses of osteo-cartilagenous substances around the little bones, the finger- and toe-joints for example, the authors scanned a way different from that of amputation or arthrodesis: the functional rebuilding with the help of substitution grafts. An exploratory research conducted on 21 rabbits in Bordeaux in 1990 allowed to test the coupling of two bio-materials used in surgery here and now, a coupling which has not shown any side-effect and whose benefit is to obtain a non-deformable mass, colonizable by osteoblastic cells. The loss of articular substance suffered by a patient in his fingers in 1992 profited by this bone-rebuilding technique.
