Bifascicular nature of the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus tendons: forgotten anatomical characteristics rediscovered with US imaging.

Objectives: To demonstrate the bifid configuration of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor pollicis longus (FPL).

Methods: In the first part of this study, 20 digits from 4 cadaver hands were dissected and analyzed using anatomical and histological slices. The second part of the study was carried out over a 12-month period starting in August 2018.

Combined median and ulnar nerve palsy complicating distal radius fractures.

Background: Fractures of the distal radius only rarely give rise to complications in the immediate postoperative period. Combined median and ulnar nerve palsy is a complication that can be missed by the surgeon.

Materials And Methods: Three cases diagnosed early after surgery are reported here.

Results of scaphocapitate arthrodesis with lunate excision in advanced Kienböck disease at 10.7-year mean follow-up.

Unlabelled: Scaphocapitate arthrodesis with lunate excision was performed for treatment of advanced Kienböck disease in 17 patients (18 wrists). Ten were women and seven men. Five were Lichtmann Stage IIIA, 12 Stage IIIB, and one Stage IV.

Complications and revisions after semi-constrained total elbow arthroplasty: a mono-centre analysis of one hundred cases.

Background: The complication rate after total elbow arthroplasties is higher than for other arthroplasties.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications and revision rate after 100 semi-constrained total elbow arthroplasties from various types of aetiologies performed in our university hospital.

Methods: One hundred linked semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasties were performed and were reviewed with 24-months minimum follow-up.

Experience with the Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty: 78 consecutive total elbow arthroplasties reviewed with an average 5 years of follow-up.

Background: The Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty is a linked implant. This study investigated the hypotheses that reliable results can be obtained in rheumatoid patients and in traumatic conditions and that the survival rate is similar to or better than what has been published for nonlinked implants.

Methods: Surgery was performed on 70 consecutive patients (78 elbows) for an inflammatory arthritis (45 elbows) or a traumatic condition (33 elbows: 18 acute fractures of the distal humerus, 10 nonunions, and 5 post-traumatic arthritis).

Shoulder arthroplasty for atraumatic avascular necrosis of the humeral head: nineteen shoulders followed up for a mean of seven years.

Nineteen shoulder arthroplasties for the treatment of nontraumatic avascular necrosis of the humeral head were evaluated. The osteonecrosis was idiopathic in 6 shoulders, was a result of corticotherapy in 10, occurred after radiation in 2, and occurred after Gaucher's disease in 1. A total shoulder arthroplasty was performed in 5 cases and a hemiarthroplasty in 14.
