A case report of Paracetamol related pyroglutamic acidosis: mind the gap in a malnourished patient.

Background: Pyroglutamic acidosis is a rare cause of high anion gap metabolic acidosis. Most cases of paracetamol related pyroglutamic acidosis are described in malnourished women and patients with kidney/liver failure, alcohol use or severe sepsis. In this report, we describe how pyroglutamic acidosis could be related to the use of chronic therapeutic paracetamol with only malnutrition as an associated risk factor.

Combined gait analysis and radiologic examination in children with X-linked hypophosphatemia.

Background: X-linked hypophosphataemia causes bone deformities and gait abnormalities that tend to worsen with age in the absence of appropriate treatment. However, doctors do not currently use quantitative tools to characterize these symptoms and their possible interactions.

Methods: Radiographs and 3D gait data from 43 non-surgical growing children with X-linked hypophosphataemia were acquired prospectively.

Quantitative analysis of lower limb and pelvic deformities in children with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets.

Introduction: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) rickets mainly causes leg deformities in children that can worsen as they grow. We hypothesized that quantifying the bone parameters will help to document and monitor these deformities in children with XLH.

Methods: Thirty-five growing children affected by XLH were included in this cross-sectional study.

Traumatic Posterior Shoulder Dislocation during Judo in a Child and Literature Review.

Introduction: Traumatic posterior dislocation of the shoulder is exceedingly rare in pediatric patients. Main causes are obstetrical brachial plexus injury; congenital abnormalities of the glenohumeral joint; and voluntary dislocation, which are often multidirectional. Treatment is not consusual and depends on early diagnosis.

Long-term outcomes of non-invasive expandable endoprostheses for primary malignant tumors around the knee in skeletally-immature patients.

Introduction: Expandable endoprostheses are used to restore limb function and compensate for the sacrifice physis involved in carcinologic resection. Long-term outcomes of the last generation of knee "non-invasive" expandable endoprostheses are required. Objectives were to report on oncologic results of bone sarcoma resection around the knee with expandable endoprosthesis reconstruction and to compare the surgical outcomes of the "non-invasive" expandable endoprostheses used in our department.

Isolated Acromial Fracture in a Cyclist: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Case: An isolated acromial fracture was diagnosed in a 45-year-old subject, recreational athlete, during a cycling fall on the shoulder. Clinical examination combined with x-ray and computerized tomography scan confirmed the isolated injury. Open reduction and osteosynthesis using a tension band technique was performed.
