Medial collateral ligament healing after posttraumatic radial head arthroplasty: A retrospective study of 33 cases with a mean follow-up of 73 months.

Comminuted radial head fractures are usually associated with destabilizing lesions of the elbow. The radial head prosthesis (RHP) is a therapeutic alternative when fracture fixation is impossible, as it restores one of the elbow's secondary stabilizers. The aim of this study was to assess healing of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) after implantation of a RHP.

Femoral lengthening during hip resurfacing arthroplasty: a new surgical procedure.

Correction of leg length discrepancy during hip arthroplasty is a technical challenge. Although resurfacing proposed to young subjects presents a number of advantages (stability, bone stock, etc.), it does not correct leg length discrepancy.

Is cemented metal-polyethylene 22.2mm hip arthroplasty a gold standard? Results of a series of 105 primary arthroplasties at a minimum of ten years follow-up.

Introduction: Although Charnley-Kerboull metal-on-polyethylene 22.2mm cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered to be the gold standard in France, results with this prosthesis are conflicting, in particular in relation to Scandinavian registers. The goal of this retrospective study was to confirm the validity of this prosthesis at a minimum of 10years follow-up.

[Arthroscopic treatment of lateral epicondylitis: a prospective study on 14 cases].

Lateral epicondylitis of the elbow is a relatively common pathology and would involve 1-3% of the overall population. Lack of consensus on surgical techniques reflects the difficulty of understanding and treating this disease. Our prospective study reports the results of its arthroscopic treatment on 14 patients operated on between 2009 and 2012.

[Management of the avulsion of the flexor pollicis longus and flexor indicis profundus tendons by tendon transfer. Case report].

Tendon injuries are common in hand wounds and their functional consequences are not negligible. In emergency, tendon repairs techniques are well codified to restore function. These tendon repairs can be made in one session, in two sessions, or even use tendon transfers.
