    THE LOOSE SHOULDER
    The terms "laxity" and "instability" as applied to the shoulder are often the cause of confusion. I prefer to refer to such shoulders as being "loose" and to consider the issues of laxity and instability separately. As will be seen instability often has a subtle presentation and its diagnosis can present a challenge to the clinical acumen of the Orthopaedic Surgeon...

    TREATMENT OF SCAPHOID NONUNION WITH A VASCULARIZED BONE GRAFT HARVESTED FROM THE VOLAR ASPECT OF THE RADIUS
    The choices of treatment of scaphoid nonunion are numerous, varied, and often controversial. The use of a bone graft associated with an osteosynthesis has proved to be very efficient and enables union more frequently than when these two treatments were used separately.

    Atlas - Malgaigne
    The Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations was published in two volumes, between 1847 and 1855. It was the most famous work of Jean-François Malgaigne (1806-1865). Henri Mondor, the great French surgeon and literary as well as medical historian, had this to say of the textbook:
    "Malgaigne's Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations was published almost 50 years before Roentgen's discovery allowed doctors to see inside the body.
