[Performance of magnetic resonance imaging ang genourob laximetry in anterior cruciate ligament rupture in 30 cases].

Introduction: The aim of this work was to evaluate the diagnostic contribution of magnetic resonance imaging and genourob compared to intraoperative arthroscopy. The objective was to implement a protocol based on magnetic resonance imaging and / or genourob.

Materials And Methods: We did a cross-sectional study from July 18, 2016 to July 19, 2017 at the Maltese hospital comparing the results of MRI and GNRB from 30 patients compared to intraoperative arthroscopy data.

Surgical Treatment of Angular Pott's Kyphosis with Posterior Approach, Pedicular Wedge Osteotomy and Canal Widening.

Background: It has been observed that the correction of severe posttuberculous angular kyphosis is still a challenge, mainly because of the neurologic risk.

Methods: Nine patients were reviewed after surgery (mean follow-up 18 months). There were 2 thoracic, 4 thoraco-lumbar and 3 lumbar kyphosis.

Modified Dunn osteotomy using an anterior approach used to treat 26 cases of SCFE.

Introduction: Osteotomy performed below the femoral neck plays a leading role in the treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). It results in anatomical reduction. Several modifications have been made to Dunn's original osteotomy technique.

[Surgery in black grain mycetoma: about 44 patients treated at aristide le dantec hospital (Dakar, Senegal) from December 2008 to March 2013].

Black-grain mycetomas are fungal and cannot be healed by antifungals only.We conducted this study to determine the interest of carcinologic surgery only in the management of those black-grain mycetomas.We led a retrospective study concerning 44 patients over a period of 52 months.

Home birth in women who have given birth at least once in a health facility: contributory factors in a developing country.

Objective: To study the link between patients' satisfaction about received services in health facilities and the choice of future delivery place of women who had delivered at least once in a facility.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Health district Gossas in Senegal.

Children distal humerus supracondylar fractures: the Blount Method experience.

Introduction: Extension-type supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children are frequent lesions whose orthopaedic treatment remains under debate in Rigault and Lagrange type III fractures and highly controversial in type IV fractures. The objective of this study was to extend the Blount method to fractures with substantial displacement even in patients presenting significant swelling and to evaluate the results.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective continuous study from December 2005 to August 2007 on 67 children: 49 boys and 18 girls with a mean age of 6 years (range, 3-14 years).

[Orthopaedic treatment of floating elbow in a child: a case report].

The floating elbow in the child is rare and serious. The authors report a traumatic case of floating elbow without vascular and nervous lesions associated in a 6-year-old child. We treated these both fractures of the distal forearm and the supracondylar humeral by respectively cast plaster and a collar and cuff with an anatomical reduction.

Fracture of the odontoid process in children: a case report.

The authors report a case of apophysial fracture of the odontoid process in association with paresis of the upper extremities in a 5-year-old child. The fracture was treated by gradual guided self-reduction without anaesthesia, followed by a Minerva jacket cast immobilisation. Reduction was anatomical, and the neurological problems regressed within 48 hours.

Posterior surgical approaches to the elbow: a simple method of comparison of the articular exposure.

Purpose Of The Study: Bilaterotricipital approach, triceps splitting and olecranon osteotomy are the three most common posterior approaches to the elbow. The aim of this study was to propose a simple technique to measure the exposure of distal articular surfaces of the humerus through these posterior surgical approaches.

Materials And Methods: Each approach was performed on ten cadaver elbows.

[Bipolar dislocation of the clavicle or floating clavicle. A report of 3 cases].

Bipolar clavicular dislocation is uncommon. It associates an acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular dislocation. The authors review the mechanism of this injury and discuss the treatment.
