Computer-assisted surgery was developed to improve the results of conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The authors investigated the preoperative varus/valgus deformity influence on the production of balanced extension and flexion gaps using computer-assisted surgery. This study evaluated data from a prospective case series. A total of 132 patients (107 women and 25 men) underwent navigat...

The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of the central portion of the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) to elbow stability and to evaluate the effectiveness of a single-strand MCL reconstruction in restoring elbow stability. Testing of 11 fresh-frozen upper extremities was first performed on the intact elbow and then with the capsule, flexor-pronator mu...

Lower limb alignment is an important contributing factor to the development of knee arthritis, and it is related to the articular cartilage wear pattern (1). Osteotomies around the knee are a well-recognized treatment for symptomatic unicompartmental knee arthritis associated to lower limb malalignment in young and active patients, with the attempt to preserve the native knee joint and delay kn...

AIM Outcome of primary total arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the knee with valgus deformity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2005 and 2007, 28 primary total knee replacements were performed for osteoarthritis of the knee with valgus deformity. 21 cases were women and 7 men with a mean age of 66.6 years (extremes 54-81). The clinical and radiological evaluations were done considering the knee...

BACKGROUND In 3D gait analysis, the knee joint is usually described by the Eulerian way. It consists in breaking down the motion between the articulating bones of the knee into three rotations around three axes: flexion/extension, abduction/adduction and internal/external rotation. However, the definition of these axes is prone to error, such as the "cross-talk" effect, due to difficult positio...

Background: Algorithms have been developed to aid in the decision process in order to choose an optimal surgical procedure for different types of hallux valgus. These algorithms are evaluated in this study with current level 1 and 2 studies. Materials and methods: Criteria for typing hallux valgus and surgical procedures in the treatment algorithms as proposed by Coughlin and Robinson were cate...

Hallux Abductus Valgus (HAV) is a pathology that affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint, in which there medial displacement of metatarsal and lateral deviation hallux, causing joint dysfunction disability patient.

L’ostéotomie du calcanéus (OTCal) est une procédure extra-articulaire utilisée dans le traitement chirurgical conservateur des déformations de l’arrière-pied. Elle comporte un effet statique, architectural et dynamique en réorientant point d’action tubérositaire digastrique formé par triceps sural l’aponévrose plantaire. Les OTCal varient selon leur localisation, forme déplacement. Elles peuven...
