In vitro biomechanical analysis of glenoïds before and after implantation of prosthetic components.

Biomechanical investigations are yet necessary to better understand the origin of the glenoïd loosening which is the main reason for revision surgery. The aim of this study was to analyse the behaviour of cadaveric glenoïds before and after implantation of glenoïd prostheses. For that, we developed a new experimental protocol allowing measurement of bone strains and implants displacements under various loading cases.

[Tendon transfers in postoperative hallux varus. Apropos of 12 cases].

Purpose Of The Study: Iatrogenic hallux varus deformity after bunion surgery is a post-operative condition in which the great toe is oriented in medial deviation in relation to the first metatarsal head. This overcorrection can be a disabling complication with poor cosmetic appearance. A review of the surgical literature showed a reported hallux varus incidence range of 2 p.

[Is calcaneal osteotomy justified in Haglund's disease?].

Purpose Of The Study: The authors report their experience of Zadek's wedge osteotomy in the treatment of posterior talalgia in adults and evaluate the various radiographical measurements for calcaneus deformity measurement...

[Simple tibiotalar luxation. Apropos of 16 cases].

Tibiotalar dislocations without fracture are extremely rare lesions. This series included 16 patients, 12 of whom have been examined clinically and radiographically. The purpose of this study was to specify the injury mechanism of the various anatomical types and to assess the long term outcome.
