Distal humerus fractures in subjects over 65 years old: about 62 cases in Moroccan population.

Distal humerus fractures, defined as interruptions of bone continuity below the insertion of the anterior brachial muscle, are relatively rare, representing 1 to 2% of all fractures. These fractures display a bimodal distribution, predominantly affecting young men (12-19 years old) due to violent trauma and elderly women (>80 years old) due to low-energy trauma associated with osteoporosis. This study aims to present the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic outcomes of distal humerus fractures in subjects over 65 years.

Tibio-Talo-Calcaneal Arthrodesis: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Specific Surgical Technique in 17 Cases.

Introduction: Ankle arthrodesis is a crucial surgical intervention for advanced hindfoot conditions, aiming to restore plantigrade walking and alleviate pain. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a specific surgical approach for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTCA), focusing on rigorous risk factor control, corticocancellous grafting, and internal fixation using an angled retrograde femoral nail in the sagittal plane, and assesses the outcomes of this approach in terms of bone fusion and reduction of postoperative complications.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis includes 17 patients who underwent TTCA in a trauma-orthopedic department over seven years.

Challenges and Outcomes in the Management of Periprosthetic Humeral Fractures: A Retrospective Study and Review of Current Approaches.

Introduction: Periprosthetic humeral fractures are a rare and increasing entity due to the rising number of shoulder arthroplasties. These fractures pose a significant challenge for surgeons, with incidence rates ranging from 1.2% to 19.
