[Spontaneous anaerobic osteomyelitis with necrotizing fasciitis of femur: two reasons for the use of hyperbaric oxygenotherapy].

This is a case report of a 50-year-old male patient who had septic shock with anaerobic bacterial septicaemia coming from a spontaneous left femoral osteomyelitis. The combined treatment with antibiotics, surgery and hyperbaric oxygenotherapy restored normal mobility of the lower limb. Two years later, there was no recurrence. Despite many efforts the aetiology of the disease is unknown. The authors, discuss the relevance of hyperbaric oxygenotherapy in such cases.

[A puzzling circulatory failure after total hip replacement].

The diagnosis of acute circulatory failure in the postoperative course of hip replacement must concentrate on frequent complications, but rare complications requiring specific treatment must also be diagnosed. We report on the occurrence of a case of acute adrenal insufficiency subsequent to enoxaparin-induced type II thrombocytopenia. A delay was necessary to establish a correct diagnosis for two reasons: (1) an unusual clinical presentation and (2) an underevaluation of the medical risk during the preoperative visit. The evolution was nevertheless favorable after prescription of steroids that had to be prescribed chronically.
