RESUMO

Sub-occipital Pott's disease is rare, but dangerous. To recall diagnostic aspects and spatially the neuroradiological ones of sub-occipital Pott's disease. We describe three patients with sub-occipital Pott's disease followed in our department from 2002 to 2007. there were two women and one man [mean age at onset: 48 years]. The early clinical picture was non specific. Exploration, in addition to standard radiographies included a computerized Tomography [CT] [n=2] and MRI [n=1 and n=3]. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically on a biopsy of the abscess [n=1], a bacteriological evidence [n=2] and retained thanks to argument presumption [n=3]. The treatment was based on quadruple antituberculous chemotherapy with external traction [n=2 and n=3] associated with urgent surgery [n=1] because of the worsening of the neurological complications. The evolution was fatal [n=1] and positive [n=2 and n=3]. Tuberculosis should be suspected in patients with chronic torticollis and residing in an area when tuberculosis is endemic. Medical treatment is based on a quadruple antituberculosis chemotherapy with fraction in the presence of atlanto-axial instability. Surgery is reserved in case of neurological worsening or persistent instability

RESUMO

The first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis is a fusion with optimal alignment of the first metatarsal and first phalanx which conferring indolence, strength and stability. The goal of this study was to evaluate the place of arthrodesis of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint in surgery of the fore foot. This work is based on analysis of records of 35 patients between 1995 and 2006. 39 first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis were practice [3 were bilateral]. They had a follow up of from three to ten years. All patients were called for a complete exploration radiographic and clinical evaluation according to the criteria of KITAOKA. The average age of patients was 54 years. They were 28 women and 7 men. The indications were hallux rigidus in 51% cases and rheumatoid arthritis in 41% cases. The procedures used mostly a stable fixation with a compressive screw. The dorsal flexion recommended is between 20 and 30 [degree sign]. Ankylosis of the ankle or the inter-phalangeal joint was an against-indication for the first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis. The study found a patient subjective satisfaction rate of 92 percent, there was no pain for 89 per cent of cases. It was noted 4 non-fusion cases paradoxically with satisfactory functional result. There was no pain of inter-phalangeal joint in all cases when X-rays showed arthritis in 4 cases. The first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis, provided we respect a few simple principles, restores painless and satisfying function of foot

RESUMO

On the basis of a retrospective study comprising 91 cases of femoral neck fracture treated by DHS, unrecognized screw articular penetration was observed in 9 cases [9,9%]. The coxa valga [Garden 1] fractures are the most interested by this complication [7 cases out of 9]. With a practical purpose and to avoid remarking each time complex measurements again we found that the distance "d" separating the end of the implant from subchondral bone calculated on antero posterior and lateral views and so the angle measured on the lateral view were two criteria significantly predictive of this technical error with respectively P 0,005 and P 0,0005.Thus during the surgical procedure taking these two measurements after the installation of the pin guide would allow attention on the risk incurred. In case of doubt, we have changed the way of this pin before resorting to drilling and tapping
