[Trochanteric fractures in elderly patients: management and prognosis of 68 cases].

The authors studied restrospecively their cases of trochanteric fractures to evoluate the frequency, the mortality, the morbidity and the results according to the diferent types of osteosynthesis used. 68 cases were collected in a 45 months. Mean age was 75 with 33 men and 35 women. 28 patients were sick before the accident. Using the A.O. classification, the patients were divided in three groups: 19 type A1, 37 type A2 and 12 type A3. 28 patients were operated an emergency basis. An A.O. nail plaque was used in the 43 cases and a staca screw plaque was used in the 11 remaining cases. Early in hospital mobilisation and weigh bearing with assistant was used and continued after discharge. After 17 months of follow up and according to Merle d'AUBIGNE'S, criteria, 91. 42% of the patients showed satisfactory results--16 patients died 8 of them had another desease. Anatomically, bone consolidation was gained after a mean period of 97 days and 40 % of Coxa-vara was reorganised. The frequency of trochanteric fracture inthe elderly is 69,3% in our experience. The patients operated on in emergency for whom a stacca nail plate had a better results with an earlier walking autonomy. In mean follow up there was no different in the two groups.

Concomitant sickle cell disease and skeletal fluorosis.

Skeletal fluorosis typically manifests as a diffuse increase in bone density, whereas avascular necrosis of the epiphyses and diaphyseal marrow are the main skeletal manifestations of sickle cell disease. The diagnostic and therapeutic challenges raised when both disorders are present are illustrated by two cases in Senegalese patients from an area characterized by high fluoride contents in the water and soil. Both had SS sickle cell disease. Skeletal fluorosis was diagnosed during evaluation for avascular necrosis in one patient and in the wake of septic arthritis in the other. Femoral head necrosis is difficult to identify in a patient with skeletal fluorosis. The bone lesions due to sickle cell disease and those due to fluorosis can mimic other bone diseases, most notably metastases. The combination of sickle cell disease and fluorosis results in significant medullary canal narrowing due to cortical thickening and to accumulation of necrotic bone. When performing hip replacement surgery, careful reaming of the medullary canal may reduce the risk of iatrogenic femoral fracture and inappropriate stem placement.

[Recent traumatic peroneal tendon dislocation: a case report].

Peroneal tendons dislocation describes a permanent or intermittent displacement of these tendons out of the retro malleolar sucket to its lateral side. It was described in fist in 1803 by Monteggia. It remains a rare affectation, dominantly of traumatic causes, mostly by passed in emergency situation. Also in its rarity, it remains remarkable for its diagnostic interest but also for its management which remains only surgical. This case concerned an adult of 24 years old, victim of closed trauma of the right ankle, the ankle was forced in varus and supine position. Ths initial diagnosis was a benign sprain which was later rectified 14 days after for a diagnosis of peroneal tendons dislocation. During the operation, a rupture of the retinaculum like type II of Eckert and Davis was noticed. A simple suture technique using Exner method give a good result 14 months later. The authors insist after this case indifferential diagnosis with sprain and recommended a surgical repair in recent lesions.

[Deep onchocerciasis of the left thigh. An unusual case].

INTRODUCTION: Commonly onchocercoma has been presented as superficial and multiple nodules. When it's unique and deeply situated, its clinical diagnosis is difficult. An uncommon form of onchocercoma is reported. CASE REPORT: A 37 years old man presented a big tumor at the inferior third of the left thigh like lipoma or liposarcoma because of microcalcifications. The tumor was removed. It was a cyst containing a liquid like an "mango juice". The histological examination was performed. Degenerated microfilariae of Onchocerca volvulus was found. DISCUSSION: A big and deep onchocerma of the thigh is uncommon and diagnosis before operation is very difficult. Histological examination have eliminate filarial infections like Dracunculus medinensis and have given the right diagnosis. Radiological microcalcifications and absence of microfilariae at the parasilogical and ophthalmological examinations recall an "aged" onchocercoma. For this reason, we didn't realise a chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: This tumor in Sahel areas is very difficult to diagnose before operation. The histological examination is very important in this case. We don't use chemotherapy because this onchocercoma looks old without alive microfilariae.

[The sensitive branch of the radial nerve at the inferior third of the forearm and at the wrist. Clinical applications].

The sensitive branch of radial nerve is superficial at the inferior third of forearm. This explain frequency of their operative lesions. The purpose of our work is to study his anatomy for choosing surgical approach who protect the nerve. The sensitive radial nerve was dissected is 20 cadaver forearms and wrists. The ride of the nerve and his terminal branches was constant at the lateral side of the radius may be the origins of the terminal branches was variable with 40% of specimens innervating the radial 2 1/2 digits. This is the common terminal distribution of the nerve. The authors do not recommended lateral approach advise anterior surgical approach for the inferior third of the radius to prevent nervous lesions, disagreeable in post-operative period.

[Chronic osteomyelitis at Dantec UHC , at Dakar].

The authors report 82 cases of osteomyelitis treated and followed up at the CHU Le Dantec, from March 1979 to September 1991. The patients were young, with an average age of 18 and a half years. Some susceptibility factors were identified: malnutrition (12.20%) and sickle cell anemia (26.83%). The infection was more frequently located on long bones of the lower limber (62.77%) and mainly on the metaphysis. Fistula forms with sequestra were the most frequent ones. Sixty-six patients were healed right after the first operation, 13 after two operations, 3 after three operations, the laters were mainly relapsing cases related to insufficient curreting of the infected bone or persisting sequestrum.

[Mycetoma of the fingers. Apropos of 5 case reports].

The authors report 5 cases of mycetomas of the fingers observed over a period of 5 years in a series of 18 mycetomas of the hand. In 3 cases, the lesion only involved the soft tissues, which were excised with 2 apparent cures after 2 and 5 years and one recurrence. In the other 2 cases, the bone was invaded and 2 digital amputations were performed without recurrence after 2 and 6 years. The authors review the epidemiology and histopathology of this disease as well as the absence of any truly effective medical treatment. In the presence of bone invasion, only excision can ensure cure.

[Severe mutilations of the hand. Preliminary evaluation of a study of 24 cases in an African milieu].

Mutilations of the hand are very frequent in Africa. More than any other disease, they destroy the hopes for a normal active life. The authors report the preliminary results of a study of 28 severe mutilations occurring between September 1983 and December 1985. The principal cause was traumatic, dominated by work accidents and household accidents. In the majority of cases, the anatomical defect was severe, but not always proportional to the functional and psycho-social repercussions. The inadequacies of the final result do not always depend on the simple and effective techniques used, but rather on a lack of appropriate rehabilitation and ignorance of the patient's needs, which include aesthetic aspects.
