ReviewPudendal nerve neuralgia after hip arthroscopy: retrospective study and literature review.
Pudendal nerve neurapraxia is a classic complication after traction on the fracture table. Diagnosis, however, is difficult and often overlooked, especially after arthroscopy in traction on fracture table; incidence is therefore not known exactly. ⋯ Level IV. Retrospective study.

Multicenter Study Comparative StudyTibial plateau fractures: reproducibility of three classifications (Schatzker, AO, Duparc) and a revised Duparc classification.
Since the reproducibility of the Schatzker and AO tibial plateau fracture classification systems has already been assessed, the goal of this study was to evaluate the Duparc classification system and compare it to the other two. ⋯ Level IV. Retrospective study.

Case ReportsFree vascularized fibular graft as a salvage procedure for large clavicular defect: a two cases report.
The gold standard technique for treating clavicle non-union is based on cortico-cancellous bone graft harvested from the iliac crest and fixed with a plate. In cases of large clavicular defects, this surgical procedure becomes ineffective and only reconstruction using vascularized bone grafts can be considered. Nevertheless, there are few reports in the literature dealing with this procedure and surgical technique remains unclear. We expose here a technique and results of free vascularized fibular graft for two patients with large clavicular defects. ⋯ Level IV, technical note.

Lumbosacral arthrodesis for neuromuscular scoliosis using a simplified Jackson technique.
Treating patients with severe neuromuscular scoliosis by long spinal fusion improves their quality of life and provides significant comfort for the patient and caregivers. But lumbosacral (L5-S1) fusion is challenging in these patients because of the significant deformities that result in poor bone anchoring quality and a risk of impingement between the skin and implants. In 1993, Jackson described a L5-S1 fusion technique using S1 pedicle screws and intrasacral rods (implanted under X-ray guidance) that are linked to the construct above with connectors. The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results and the postoperative complications of a simplified version of this technique, which does not require connectors or X-ray guidance. ⋯ Level IV, retrospective study.
