Anterior elbow dislocation with recurrent instability.

Anterior elbow dislocations are often associated with severe soft tissue lesions. The mechanism of dislocation is usually an anteriorly directed blow on the proximal ulna after a fall on a flexed elbow. Simple anterior elbow dislocations are traditionally treated by closed reduction followed by a short period of immobilisation. Fracture-dislocations are usually unstable after reduction and necessitate surgical management. The authors report a case of acute anterior dislocation with a concomitant radial head fracture that was complicated by recurrent instability. The literature is reviewed to discuss a treatment strategy.

The Harris-Galante cementless acetabular component: results in 190 cases with at least 3 years follow-up.

The results of 190 primary total hip arthroplasties with a Harris-Galante cementless acetabular cup were reviewed. All patients had a minimum follow-up of 3 years (range, 3 to 5.5 years, mean 46 months). Clinical and radiographical analysis was performed. Inguinal pain was recorded in five cases. We noted a fracture of a screw in four cases without further implications. There was no evidence of acetabular loosening. There was no migration of the acetabular cup. No acetabular component showed measurable wear of the polyethylene liner. Non-progressive radiolucent lines were recorded in 14% of the patients: among these patients, radiolucent lines were noted in zone 1 in 46%, in zone 2 in 4% and in zone 3 in 86%. Two socket revisions became necessary. One patient suffered a deep-seated infection. Another revision was necessary because of recurrent dislocation.
