Epidemiology of Non-Traumatic Lower Extremities Amputations in West Africa: Nationwide Data from Togo.

Objective: Non-traumatic lower limb amputation (NT-LLA) has consequences at individual and public health levels. Population based studies in sub-Saharan Africa are scarce and often related to single centre series. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of NT-LLA (minor and major) and to describe epidemiological, clinical, and prognostic aspects in Togo.

Intrafat Sequestration of Artemisinin Disguised as a Purulent Collection during a Posterolateral Hip Approach.

The posterolateral hip approach is the oldest and most used way to implant total hip arthroplasty. The anterior part of the oblique portion of this posterolateral approach corresponds more or less to the superolateral quadrant of the buttock in which the intramuscular injection of various drugs, including the compounds derived from artemisinin, is carried out. Thus, in a malarial endemic area where gluteal injections of the compounds derived from artemisinin are not rare, poor performance of an injection by the deposition of the product in the fat and not deeply in the muscle can be at the origin of the sequestration of the drug in adipose tissue and give the macroscopic appearance of a pus.

Bilateral Divergent Shoulder's Fracture Dislocation Case in an Ischemic Stroke Patient.

Introduction: The literature review revealed that nowadays only about 15 cases of bilateral shoulder dislocation associated with the fracture of the upper end of the humerus have been published. The triad of lesional mechanism designated by the triple syndrome E composed of epilepsy, electrocution, and external trauma was the circumstances noted in which these fractures dislocations occur with migration of the two humeral heads either forward or backward.

Case Report: An architect of 36-year-old, right-handed, was admitted in emergency department for loss of knowledge of progressive installation.

Reconstruction of traumatic bone loss using the induced membrane technique: preliminary results about 11 cases.

Introduction: The use of Masquelet technique is a serious option to consider for biologic reconstruction of severe bone loss. Here is exposed a continuous and prospective study on bone loss management using that technique. The aims of this study were to assess epidemiology of bone loss due either to trauma or to non-unions and to give preliminary results.

Open Anterior Dislocation of the Hip in Togo.

Anterior traumatic dislocations of the hip are much less common than posterior dislocations. To date, 14 cases of open anterior dislocation of the hip associated with such injuries, acetabular and femoral head fractures and femoral vascular and nerve damage have been reported. We present a case of a 23-year-old male who sustained open anterior dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture of the greater trochanter after an accident on the public highway.
