Targeted partial arthroscopic trapeziectomy with temporary distraction: a retrospective study with 5-year follow-up.

Targeted partial arthroscopic trapeziectomy with temporary distraction is a minimally invasive treatment for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. We performed a retrospective single centre study from March 2011 to May 2022 and included patients with at least 5 years of follow-up. A failure was defined as a patient requiring a second procedure.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Capitate Nonunion: A New Technique.

Isolated fractures of the capitate are very rare which means that their nonunion is even rarer. Repair techniques have always been performed by open surgery which may result in loss of mobility due to the capsulotomy. The typically used surgical techniques such as arthrodesis of the carpal or wrist bones can have irreversible consequences on range of motion.

Cellulitis of the face associated with SENLAT caused by Rickettsia slovaca detected by qPCR on scalp eschar swab sample: An unusual case report and review of literature.

Background: Tick-borne rickettsioses are infectious diseases caused by obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the spotted fever groupof Rickettsia.

Methods: We describe an unusual case of SENLAT (Scalp eschar and neck lymphadenopathy after tick bite), caused byRickettsia slovaca, associated with a cellulitis of the face in a 70-year-old woman, and diagnosed using qPCR on a scalp eschar swab. We review the literature regarding cases of SENLAT-associated-cellulitis and case of SENLAT diagnosed by qPCR on scalp eschar swabs.
