[Old pseudoarthrosis with large bone defect of the radius treated with the Watson-Jones technique: a case report].

Large bone defects in the forearm pose a challenging reconstruction problem, especially when the condition has become chronic. The Watson-Jones technique is a relatively simple procedure that sacrifices pronation-supination, but allows the forearm to be used in everyday life. Here, we describe a unique case of one-bone forearm reconstruction for a patient who had been suffering from radius non-union for several years.

[Pathological fracture of the carpal scaphoid (intra-osseous synovial cyst). Clinical and therapeutic aspect. Case report].

The authors report a case of fracture of the carpal scaphoid through an intraosseous synovial cyst. Synovial cysts are not uncommon in the carpal region, and are usually discovered as an incidental radiological finding: they rarely present with wrist pain and only exceptionally as a fracture. In our knowledge, only one other case of intraosseous synovial cyst of the carpal scaphoid presenting as a fracture has been published.

[Carpal dislocation combined with a lunate fracture. Report of a case ].

A fracture of the semi-lunar in the frontal plan seems to be a rare and still exceptional hurt when it accompanies a retro-lunar dislocation of carp. Our case allows to see again the lesionnel mechanism of the dislocations of carp particularly in its retro-lunar variety and so to classify our case or rather to individualize it and to put it there "except series".

[Coxitis in ankylosing spondylo-arthritis. Results of treatment with total arthroplasty. Apropos of 162 cases].

Excellent results were seen when 100 patients with ankylosing spondylitis who had undergone total replacement arthroplasty of the hip were reviewed 5 years after operation. One hundred and sixty hips had been replaced; 92.5% were painfree, 78% had flexion of greater than 90 degrees and 80% walked well without a stick.
