Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease affecting the lacrimal and salivary glands. In up to one third of patients, SS may be complicated by potentially severe extra-glandular visceral involvement, which can be life-threatening. Diagnosis is often difficult based on a combination of clinical and biological evidence. The development of new imaging techniques can now help the clinician in his diagnostic approach. Long considered incurable, new medical and surgical treatments are being studied and are potentially promising. Paramedical management and regular physical activity are also essential and contribute to the improvement of patients' fatigue. The objective of this article is to review the main clinical manifestations as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic novelties developed in recent years.

The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of bone transport in treating upper- middle vs. lower- middle tibial bone defects. Sixty-two patients with tibial infected large segmental defects treated by bone transport were analyzed retrospectively and divided into distal group (lower- middle tibial bone defects and proximal transport, n=38) and proximal group (upper- middle tibial bone defects and distal transport, n=24).

The aim of the study was to investigate the differences of the reamed versus the unreamed short proximal femoral nailing (PFN), in terms of the duration of surgery and the outcome. The impact of patients and fracture characteristics to the outcome was also evaluated.

However, there is no consensus on the treatment of these fractures and their relative indications for surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether surgical treatment of mid-diaphyseal clavicular fractures indeed results in fewer complications and better radiological outcomes, as current trends suggest, in comparison to conservative treatment.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether not using the calcar screw in proximal humerus fractures affects functional and radiological outcomes. Thirty patients (21 females and 9 males) who presented with proximal humerus fractures and were treated with plate- screw fixation were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included patients with the use of the calcar screw, and group 2 included patients without the calcar screw.
