[Sciatica caused by massive herniated disk].

On the basis of the surgical findings in 10 cases a description is given of a massive form of disc hernia corresponding to posterolateral displacement of the entire disc with the fibrous ring and cartilaginous surfaces. Such hernias were found in 7 cases of severe lumbar sciatica, including 3 with the cauda equina hemisyndrome and in 3 cases of simple lumbar sciatica operated on for their severe and refractory nature. It is useful to know this variety of hernia so that its uncommon aspect is not surprising on surgery. The term of massive hernia is proposed exclusively for these forms.

[Unrecognized posterior dislocations of the shoulder. Apropos of 6 cases].

Reporting six cases of posterior dislocation of the shoulder examined in a rheumatological setting, the authors emphasize the diagnostic difficulties in this condition. The post-epileptic aetiology is often unrecognized. Certain radiological techniques permit recognition of the dislocation, when the antero-posterior film shows little abnormal. The authors analyze the anatomical lesions, which sometimes include fracture, and review the orthopaedic and surgical treatments, and the results obtained.
