Anterior Slope Correction-Flexion Osteotomy in Traumatic Genu Recurvatum.

A decreased posterior tibial slope has been associated with an increased risk of posterior cruciate ligament failure, anterior knee pain, and premature knee osteoarthritis. Trauma is a common cause of osseous genu recurvatum. Surgical management is recommended to correct the tibial slope and prevent knee pain and osteoarthritis progression.

Percutaneous Scaphoid Fixation: Experience Value among Different Approaches.

 Percutaneous scaphoid osteosynthesis is an attractive and increasingly popular option, as a treatment for acute scaphoid fractures in selected cases, and as an alternative to conservative treatment. The purpose of this study is to assess the radiographic positioning of the screw in percutaneous scaphoid fixation, taking into consideration the surgeons' experience, and the difference between volar and dorsal approaches.  We retrospectively assessed patients undergoing percutaneous scaphoid fixation from 2013 to 2019.

Validation of the Ottawa ankle rules: Strategies for increasing specificity.

Introduction: The majority of patients with ankle injuries undergo radiological examinations of the foot, ankle or both. The objective of this study was in the first place to validate the Ottawa Ankle Rules (OARs) for the population of our centre. Secondly, an attempt was made to identify parameters that contribute to improve the specificity of the method, with a view to reduce the need for patients to be exposed to radiation as well as optimizing the expenses of the Emergency Ward (EW).

A giant hand lipoma as a rare cause of secondary carpal tunnel syndrome - A case report.

Introduction: Lipomas are a rare cause of compressive neuropathy and they lead to atypical clinical presentation that can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome.

Case Presentation: The authors describe a rare presentation of a carpal tunnel syndrome recurrence after a hand giant lipoma, presenting with rapidly compression neuropathy of the median nerve, 6 months after de primary surgery.

Discussion: Lipomas are common benign soft tumours.

Hip Arthroscopy With Initial Access to the Peripheral Compartment: A Detailed Step-by-Step Technique Description.

Hip arthroscopy with initial access to the peripheral compartment represents a specific technique to approach the hip that can be particularly useful. This technique is suitable for both the arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and other pathologies that can be addressed by classic arthroscopy with central compartment initial access. Minimal capsulotomies preserve the fluid pressure in the peripheral compartment, which allows the "ballooning" of the capsule and improved joint exposure with decreased risk of fluid extravasation.
