[Fractures-luxations of the Lisfranc joint. Apropos of 39 cases].

Lisfranc fracture-dislocations are relatively rare (two per thousand). They generally occur in multiple trauma victims and may pass unnoticed. Open reduction followed by pinned osteosynthesis and plaster immobilisation ensures a good anatomical and functional result.

[Arthroscopic meniscectomy complicated by lesions to the popliteal artery and vein].

Endoscopic surgery can replace operative procedures. The evolution of arthroscopy leads to realize intra articular surgery more and more complicated. However, any surgical procedure involve some risks, and surgeons have to be prudent in use of new instruments or new technics.

[False aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery after fracture of the upper end of the femur. Apropos of a case].

A case of false aneurysm arising at the origin of a branch of the profunda femoris artery following an intertrochanteric fracture of the femur is reported. The complication was due to the fracture itself by impalement by a bony fragment of the lesser trochanter. A review of the literature revealed 14 similar cases and confirmed the rarity of this complication.

[The course of a case of Maffucci's syndrome].

The syndrome of Maffucci is characterized by angioma association of the enchondromatose. It is a relatively rare syndrome. The lesions are evolutived.
