In this study, six cases of patellar ligament ruptures [five recent ones and one inveterate] affecting only the tendon fibers were reported. The osseous stripping of the rotular point and of the anterior tibia tuberosity was not considered. A surgical treatment was done. More sutures were undertaken to wipe out lesions [five cases] or transosseous points [one case]. A protection centering in the Mac Laughlin way achieved the repair in all the cases. An immediate reeducation was undertaken for five times. There were excellent results over the active extension [six cases]

Actinomycosis are bacterial infections considered non contagious, caused by Actinomyces, gram positive filamentous bacilli, mucuous buccal digestive saprophytes. The abdominal or pelvic locations are rare, and may stimulate a neoplasic affection by causing delicate diagnosis problems. We here report a case of actinomycosis of the right ilio-psoas muscle in a fifty-year old patient with a tumor syndrome of the right iliac fossa, with no abdominal pelvic compression. We did not notice any entrance. The actinomycosis diagnosis was led thanks to anatomo-pathologic exam. The treatment consisted of a tumor resection with betalactamine based antibiotherapy. The pelvic actinomycosis is a rare affection with a difficult diagnosis because of the failure to recognize it as well as its presentation that is similar to a neoplasic process

The distal traumatic avulsion of the triceps muscle is an exceptional lesion. The clinical presentation is associated with an intense sudden pain of the posterior side of the elbow with loss of active extension of the fore-arm and the palpation of a depression above the olecranon. The presence of small avulsed bone fragment of the olecranon over a lateral X-ray view of the elbow confirms the diagnosis. The antero-posterior and lateral views of the elbow also help to investigate for any bone lesion, particularly a fracture of the radial head. The trans-osseous and periosteal reinsertion often yield good results. The related observation is remarkable. In fact, it is to our knowledge, that this is the first case of traumatic avulsion of the tricipital brachial tendon associated with a fracture-laxation of the right elbow with a fracture of the radial head and a postero-lateral sublaxation of the elbow
