Introduction: Dupuytren's disease is a benign disorder leading to flexion contracture of the fingers and functional disability. Many treatments have been described. Open fasciectomy is the gold standard; however percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) is a reliable option for uncomplicated primary contracture but it has a high rate of recurrence.

Therefore a retrospective case-control study was done aiming: 1) to analyze the impact of a preoperative scoliotic deformity on the functional outcomes of patients who underwent THA with a minimum 1-year follow-up, 2) to measure the prevalence of scoliosis in both the case and control groups 3) to screen other factors that may be correlated with poorer clinical outcomes in patients who underwent THA, including age, gender, Body Mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, primary THA etiology and postoperative complication occurrence.
Hypothesis: The presence of scoliosis would have a negative impact on THA outcomes as assessed by PROMs.
Unlabelled: Irreparable large to massive rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs) are a prevalent cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction, and nonoperative treatment may not always be effective. Various surgical options exist, with isolated biceps tenotomy/tenodesis (BT) or arthroscopic partial repair with associated biceps tenotomy/tenodesis (PCR-BT) being the most common. The aim of this study was to systematically review the available data on the clinical and functional outcomes of BT and PCR-BT in patients with MIRCTs.

Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is a reliable option but with poorer prognosis in case of osteoarthritis of the distal radius or capitate head. In such situations, radiocarpal arthrodesis may be necessary, sacrificing wrist motion.

Techniques for "filling the loss of substance" require fixation to the rotator cuff stump (tendon augmentation) or to the glenoid (superior capsular reconstruction), which are complicated by the narrow working zone of the subacromial space. The main objective of this study was to determine whether a braided graft of gracilis (GR) and semitendinosus (ST) could fill a loss of tendon substance from an irreparable rupture of the supra- and infraspinatus, by fixing the graft to the greater tuberosity and the spine of the scapula.

Introduction: Live surgery has always been an invaluable part of medical education. Live Surgery Events (LSE) have recently been criticized in France, arguing that unnecessary risks have been placed on the patients.
Hypothesis: We want to report our experience in organizing the last 7 shoulder LSE over the past 12 years focusing on the results and complications during and after the surgeries performed during these courses.
