[Mythology of alcohol drinking].

The social order relies on a whole of standards and requires the conformity of the individuals to his models. The consumers of alcohol - alcoholized people - either stay in the order which makes pressure on them to bring them to consume still staying within the standards of consumption according to a process of which the works stay unknown, either drift progressively towards marginality and subversion. Their behaviour is described as a "disease", description which works as a myth as well as a reality, the perception and description of the treatment supposed to be opposed to it acts on the same manner.

[Surface arthroplasty of the knee by marmor prosthesis. Study of 35 unicompartimental prosthesis seen with a follow-up of 1 to 5 years (author's transl)].

The Marmor prosthesis may be used for a surface arthroplasty of the knee by means of a system of unicompartmental modules including 4 sizes of condylar ramps and 6 thicknesses of tibial plateaux in two widths. It is thus possible to treat one or both compartments and correct any axial deviation. The operative technique must be careful and accurate with regard to the positioning of the prostheses and the choice of thickness of the plateau to be inserted.
