UNLABELLED Secondary arthrosis of the upper ankle joint (talocalcanean joint) is one of the most frequent forms of haemophilic arthropathy. It is a secondary form of arthrosis not only because of chronic synovitis and cartilage injury resulting from chronic recurrent intraarticular bleeds, but also due to the misalignment of the joint and abnormal joint stress. The consequences are manifest eve...

UNLABELLED The use of local anesthesia with epinephrine and no tourniquet/no sedation is becoming an excellent alternative for hand surgeries. This wide-awake approach is the most commonly used method of anesthesia for carpal tunnel release in Canada. The purpose of this paper is to provide a video detailing this technique for trapeziectomy for trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. ELECTRO...

Ankle arthrosis continues to affect millions of people worldwide. Whereas it is not as common as hip and knee arthrosis in the aging population, it is more and more prevalent in the younger population. Also, it is not uncommon to see total destruction of the ankle joint in the neuropathic population. Whereas arthrosis of the knee and hip is mostly “wear and tear” type, the vast majority of ankl...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT The role of total disc arthroplasty (TDA) in the treatment of spinal pathology is unclear. TDA has been touted as an alternative to fusion. However, not all back pain is purely discogenic in origin. Contraindications to TDA exist. At Spine Week in Porto, Portugal, Cammisa's group from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York presented a series of 56 fusions where 100% of ...

BACKGROUND The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy is used in dysplastic hips to increase the load-bearing area of the hip and to prevent osteoarthritis. The aim of our work was to determine the contact hip stress before and after the osteotomy and to compare the relief of stress with the long-term radiographic and clinical outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS We followed 26 dysplastic hips (26 patient...

The current authors retrospectively assessed 56 hip shelf arthroplasties (48 patients) with a mean followup of 17 years (range, 15-30 years) and 89 Chiari osteotomies (82 patients) with a mean followup of 13 years (range, 6-25 years) done in adults with painful hip dysplasia. Preoperative joint space narrowing was observed in 32 of 56 shelf arthroplasties and in 67 of 89 Chiari osteotomies. Sur...
