Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study in Burkina Faso from 2004 to 2018 examined 145 dual mobility total hip replacements (THR) in 129 young disabled patients, with a higher prevalence in males averaging 44.57 years old.
- The most common reasons for THR were avascular necrosis, childhood arthritis complications, and trauma, with all implants being metal-on-polyethylene from Zimmer-Biomet.
- Overall, outcomes were positive after an average follow-up of 2.70 years, although there was a notable revision rate due to infections and implant misalignment, suggesting potential for THR practices in developing regions with considerations for implant durability and cost.
Introduction: Closed static interlocking nailing with c-arm guidance is the standard procedure for the treatment of closed diaphyseal fractures. In low-income settings, it is still very difficult to carry out such procedures because of few or absent image intensifiers (c-arm) despite the necessity. Authors provide a review of the literature on interlocking intramedullary nailing without fluoroscopy in resource-limited settings, followed by strategies, outcomes, and outlook.

In developing countries, it is an infrequent intervention and its practice is limited. It is exposed to a higher rate of infectious and mechanical failures than in developed countries.

- Open osteoclasis, soft-tissue release, and fracture reduction were used to treat 10 cases of neglected distal femoral physeal fractures, marking a unique surgical approach not previously reported.
- The procedure involves an anterolateral surgical approach, disrupting excess fracture callus and carefully disassociating soft tissue to protect the growth plate during realignment.
- Developed for remote medical settings where injuries are treated late, this technique aims to correct deformities and preserve limb growth, with expected outcomes including reduced malalignment and increased limb length.
[Severe acute limb ischemia resulting in rescue disarticulation in a patient with Nicolau syndrome following intramuscular penicillin injection: a case report].

We here report the case of a 9-year-old child suffering from Nicolau syndrome involving the left pelvic limb with severe acute limb ischemia following intramuscular benzathine penicillin injection into the buttock. Given the rarity of acute limb ischemia in children, this case of complicated Nicolau syndrome combining acute arterial thrombosis and severe rhabdomyolysis leading to rescue hip dislocation is very interesting.

The objective of thisstudywas to assess the medium-termresults of total hip arthroplastyat the Bobo-Dioulasso UniversityHospital. Dioulasso.

- Bilateral symmetric anterior shoulder dislocations (BSASD) are likely in patients with flattened shoulders following uncontrolled muscle contractions, such as during a seizure.
- BSASD should be treated quickly because late diagnosis makes management more difficult.
- If BSASD persists for two years, a young patient may have only fair shoulder function.
Article Synopsis
- Neglected epiphyseal fracture-separations of the distal femur are uncommon but pose significant treatment challenges, particularly in developing countries.
- A ten-year study identified 13 cases among 8,616 patients, predominantly in teenage boys, with most injuries categorized as Salter-Harris type II malunions, resulting in various complications.
- Early surgical intervention, especially through open osteoclasis, showed improved recovery outcomes and highlights the need for better trauma care and education to prevent such injuries.
Amniotic band syndrome is a rare congenital disorder. The authors report the first cases documented at Souro Sanou University Hospital in Bobo-Dioulasso (CHUSS) in 2 male new borns. The malformations found at birth, were worn only on limbs and were in the form of skin furrow necking with a major lymphedema downstream.

They are public health problems in developing countries where their frequency is still important. The aim of the study is to describe falls from trees related trauma patterns and to present preventative measures.
