[Ascending bipolar nailing using elastic nails in the treatment of fractures of the upper end of the humerus (author's transl)].

In the treatment of non-impacted fractures of the upper end of the humerus, the tendency of many surgeons is to use nailing with the fracture site closed, from the supra-olecranon fossa. This would seem to merit certain criticisms. Following reduction of the fracture, we use Ender elastic nails and two modified nails of a smaller calibre, one inserted via the epicondyle and the other via the epitrochlea. The technique of this ascending bipolar nailing using elastic nails is carried out in a horizontal supine position, which facilitates manoeuvres of reduction and facilitates anaesthesia. Apart from non-impacted fractures of the upper end of the humerus, other indications exist.

[Capitellum fractures of children (author's transl)].

Capitellum fractures are exceedingly rare. The five observations reported herein show that the clinical aspect is often discrete, necessitating a detailed radiographic study, especially with the elbow seen in profile. As the spontaneous evolution of this type of fracture presents a poor prognosis, surgical reduction of the fracture is immediately indicated and systematic osteosynthesis guarantees a satisfactory functional result.

Missed posterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder. Closed reduction and pinning.

In four missed posterior shoulder dislocations, a trial of closed reduction was successful, but severe instability required further therapy. The glenohumeral joints were immobilized by 3 to 4 percutaneously inserted threaded pins. Removal of the pins after 4 to 6 weeks was followed by physiotherapy. After a follow-up of 4 to 42 months, the functional results of this simple procedure are good and there is no recurrence. Bending of the ends of the pins, a very careful follow-up to deal with pin migration, and adequate prevention of subsequent convulsions in epileptic patients are mandatory.
