Analysis of risk factors of the postoperative complications of surgical treatment of ankle fractures in the elderly: A series of 477 patients.

Introduction: The surgical strategy of ankle fractures in elderly subjects is controversial because of the high rate of local and general complications. The goal of this study was to identify the risk factors of complications of ankle fractures in elderly subjects.

Materials And Methods: Four hundred and seventy-seven patients operated between 2008 and 2014 were included in this retrospective study.

Internal fixation of the fibula in ankle fractures: a prospective, randomized and comparative study: plating versus nailing.

Aim: Open reduction and internal plate fixation of the fibula is the gold standard treatment for ankle fractures. The aim of this study was to perform a prospective randomized study to compare bone union, complications and functional results of two types of internal fixation of the fibula (plating and the Epifisa FH intramedullary nail).

Materials And Methods: Inclusion criteria were: closed fractures, isolated displaced fractures of the lateral malleolus, inter- and supra-tubercular bimalleolar fractures, and trimalleolar fractures.

Surgical management of recurrent dislocation after total hip arthroplasty.

Dislocation is a major complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA), whose frequency has been unaffected by improvements in surgical techniques and implants. The dislocation rate depends on multiple factors related to the patient, hip disease, and surgical procedure and is therefore also dependent on the surgeon. The many published studies on THA dislocation, its causes, and its treatment have produced conflicting results.

Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation in unstable pelvic ring lesions: the interest of O-ARM CT-guided navigation.

Introduction: The reference surgical treatment for unstable posterior pelvic fracture is percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation, isolated or in association with other techniques. As there is a risk of passage outside the bone when performing screw fixation under fluoroscopy, new image-guidance techniques have been developed: fluoronavigation, peroperative 3D navigation, CT-linked navigation, etc. Since September 2011, our department has performed iliosacral screw fixation under CT control linked to navigation so as to optimize screw positioning.
