Dual mobility total hip replacement: a 15-year experience in Burkina Faso.

To report our 15 years of experience in dual mobility total hip replacement (THR) in Burkina Faso through a Franco-Burkinabé relief organization. A retrospective study spanning from 2004 to 2018 was held in a private facility. All dual mobility THR cases with at least one year of follow-up time were included.

Focus on interlocking intramedullary nailing without fluoroscopy in resource-limited settings: strategies, outcomes, and outlook.

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.

Use of dual mobility cups for total hip arthroplasty in sub-Saharan Africa: interest and perspectives.

Introduction: Hip arthroplasty and revision surgery are growing exponentially in OECD countries. 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.

Management of neglected distal femur epiphyseal fracture-separation.

Introduction: Neglected epiphyseal fracture-separations of the distal femur are rare. Still reported in developing countries, they lead to therapeutic issues. The objective of the study is to describe their characteristics and to propose treatment options.

Amniotic band syndrom at Bobo Dioulasso university teaching hospital (Burkina-Faso): about two cases.

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.

Trauma related to falls from trees treated in a specialized trauma centre in Burkina-Faso-one hundred and six cases treated in one year.

Purpose: Falls from trees related traumas are rarely reported in literature. 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.
