[Osteonecrosis of the femoral head complicating prophylactic screw fixation for upper femoral epiphyolysis: case report and literature review].

The therapeutic approach for the treatment of children with radiologically "normal" hip presenting with epiphysiolysis of the contralateral upper femur is controversial. We here report the case of a 12-year-old boy with osteonecrosis of radiologically "normal" and asymptomatic left femoral head prophylactically fixed due to acute femoral epiphysiolysis of the contralateral hip. Eight months after first surgery, the patient developed symptoms of avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Use of chest CT-scan images to differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 infection and fat embolism: A clinical case.

The authors present the case of a young man victim of a traffic accident during the SARS-CoV-2 confinement, having presented a fracture of the femoral shaft that was soon complicated by respiratory failure with oxygen desaturation. In this pandemic context, Covid-19 RT-PCR tests were carried out but returned negative. The CT images could suggest either a fatty embolism, a SARS-CoV-2 infection or both.

Resection of a Rare Metacarpal Distal Condyle Osteoid Osteoma.

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor with young male predilection. It occurs predominantly in the long bones. In the hand, osteoid osteoma is more commonly located in the phalanges and carpal bones.

[Use of the vascularized upper tibial crest at the wrist and hand].

The choice of a technique for reconstruction of bone loss to the lower end of the forearm is often difficult, especially in cases of nonunion. Vascularized bone is essential in these indications. We present cases of post-traumatic hand and wrist reconstruction with upper tibial corticocancellous transfer.

[Treatment of proximal humeral fractures by Telegraph nail: prospective study of 34 cases].

Purpose Of The Study: Many developments have been devoted to improving osteosynthesis of proximal humeral fractures, but indications remain controversial. Anterograde nailing using a locked self-stabilizing nail is an attractive conception which has provided promising results. The purpose of this study was to assess the early results observed in a series of patients treated with a first-intention Telegraph nail.
