F. Jacquot, R. Rigal — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:00:00 GMT

Use of a consumer electronic handheld device (iPhone™) to measure the Cobb angle in acquired localized kyphoses: A reliability study. Handheld computers combined with cell phones have spread rapidly through the market to the point that virtually everybody has provided himself with a powerful pocket computer with connecting capabilities and more. The positioning sensor embedded in some of these devices makes them useful measuring stations, combined with real-time computing capabilities that ...

Performing the Latarjet procedure with dedicated instruments (Techniques)

L. Doursounian, A. Debet-Mejean — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Recurrence of dislocation after a first episode requires surgical treatment in one out of four cases.1 Many different procedures have been described so far, which can be broken down into two main categories: surgical procedures on soft tissue are considered more anatomical (e.g. Bankart procedure, the gold standard); those using a bone block were pioneered by Latarjet. Although the Latarjet procedure (in which a coracoid bone block is positioned flush with the anterior-inferior border of the glenoid) ...

USE OF THE BILBOQUET IN COMPLEX PROXIMAL HUMERAL FRACTURES (Meeting

G. Griffet, J. Berhouet, Ch. Le Du, Luc Favard — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 08:00:00 GMT

Treatment of complex displaced fractures of the proximal humerus is challenging. Management of a comminuted fracture in poor quality bone with a conventional fixation device is difficult,13 not to mention the potential risk of post-traumatic necrosis of the humeral head,10 nonunion or malunion of the tuberosities.2 In such situations, Neer advocated the use of hemiarthroplasty11. But what was a success in Neer's hands was not in others' hands and many surgeons were disappointed by a high rate of ...

DEEPENING TROCHLEOPLASTY FOR TREATMENT OF RECURRENT DISLOCATION OF THE PATELLA : Indications, Surgical Technique, Results (Techniques)

D. Dejour — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 08:00:00 GMT

By nature, the patellofemoral joint has low congruity. Passive stability is provided both by the bony structures (congruity between the patella and the trochlear groove) and by the medial and lateral ligaments. Active stability depends on correct tension of the quadriceps muscles on the one hand, and on passive medial-lateral soft-tissue balance on the other hand. The patella needs both passive and active stability to transmit the quadriceps muscle force during flexion and extension movements, whether ...

CLINICAL EXAMINATION OF THE SHOULDER IN DISORDERS OF THE ROTATOR CUFF (Focus)

Ch. Dumontier, L. Doursounian — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 08:00:00 GMT

Disorders of the rotator cuff are the main source of pain in the shoulder and despite recent progress in shoulder imaging, clinical examination remains a fundamental stage in evaluating pain in the region of the scapula. The rotator cuff of the shoulder consists of the tendons of insertion of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles in the humerus, combined with the intra articular portion along the biceps. In this article, we will deal with lesions which are part ...

MANAGING PARALYSIS OF INTRINSIC MUSCLES OF THE THUMB (Techniques)

F. Chaise 1.2.3, Ph. Bellemere 1.2, B. Chabaud 3.4. — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 08:00:00 GMT

Paralysis of the intrinsic muscles of the thumb will change the opposition function which is the result of a movement made up of three components: extension, adduction and pronation. The full movement of opposition is only possible if all the local anatomic structures are functional. A thumb with paralysis of the intrinsic muscles will be dependent on the extrinsic muscles which will progressively lead to major functional imbalance with the final result being a thumb stiffened in adduction and ...
