Distal insertion of the clavicular portion of pectoralis major muscle: anatomical study.

Purpose: Several descriptions of the anatomy of the pectoralis major (PM) have been published. However, the precise description of its distal humeral insertion, which is involved in traumatic tears, remains controversial. The distal tendon is classically described as being made of two layers, one anterior (ALPM) and one posterior (PLPM), which regroup at their distal edge.

Non-operative management of humeral periprosthetic fracture after stemless shoulder arthroplasty.

Purpose: Periprosthetic fractures around a stemless implant often involve lesser and greater tuberosities with a well-fixed implant in the metaphysis. This exposes the surgeon to unique questions and challenges as no surgical option (open reduction and internal fixation or revision to a stem) appears satisfactory to address them. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes after non-operative management of periprosthetic fractures after stemless shoulder arthroplasty.

Radiolunate arthrodesis and scaphoidectomy combined to Sauvé-Kapandji procedure as treatment of wrist osteoarthritis: Clinical and radiological results.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze clinical and radiological results for 1-stage radiolunate arthrodesis and scaphoidectomy associated to the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure, to alleviate pain and conserve wrist motion.

Methods: Seven patients (8 wrists) with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the radiolunate and distal radioulnar joints were treated from 1999 to 2016. Mean age at surgery was 49 years and M/F sex ratio was 6/1.

Dupuytren's disease involving Guyon's canal.

Ectopic localization of Dupuytren's contracture is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only six cases reported in the literature. The authors present a case with Dupuytren's contracture involving Guyon's canal where the patient had limited wrist range of motion and ulnar neuropathy.
