Management of acute grade IV and greater acromioclavicular dislocations: Open acromioclavicular brace versus arthroscopic double DogBone® endobutton.

Introduction: Several surgical techniques exist to manage grade IV acute acromioclavicular dislocation (ACD). However, the conventional acromioclavicular brace technique (ACB) has never been compared to the arthroscopic DogBone® (DB) double endobutton technique. The aim of this work was to compare the functional and radiological results of DB stabilization with those of ACB.

Comparison of double screw fixation versus tension-band fixation after olecranon osteotomy for complex distal humerus fractures.

Introduction: Supra- and intercondylar elbow fractures are surgically challenging given the intra-articular comminution. Various surgical approaches have been described. Among these-olecranon osteotomy-provides optimal joint exposure but is associated with several complications.

Imaging of shoulder arthroplasties and their complications: a pictorial review.

Currently, an increasing number of patients benefit from shoulder prosthesis implantation. Radiologists are therefore more often confronted with imaging examinations involving shoulder arthroplasty, whether during a dedicated examination or incidentally. Standard radiography is the first-line imaging modality in the follow-up of these implants, before the possible use of cross-sectional imaging modalities (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound, or nuclear medicine examinations.

Intramedullary nailing for adult open tibial shaft fracture. An 85-case series.

Introduction: Treatment of open tibial shaft fracture is controversial due to the risk of infection. We assessed results in a continuous series of open tibial shaft fractures treated by primary intramedullary nailing.

Hypothesis: Factors can be determined for non-union and onset of infection following primary intramedullary nailing in open tibial shaft fracture.
