Minimally invasive treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures using the balloon kyphoplasty technique: preliminary study.
The balloon kyphoplasty approach to the treatment of vertebral fractures can be adapted to achieve the reduction and cement stabilisation of intra-articular compression fractures at other sites, such as the calcaneus. ⋯ Level IV, retrospective study.

Frequency of radiographic signs of slipped capital femoral epiphysiolysis sequelae in hip arthroplasty candidates for coxarthrosis.
The rate of osteoarthritis of the hip secondary to slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a subject of debate, and its frequency is underestimated in particular because of subclinical forms that may not be diagnosed during childhood. ⋯ Level III. Diagnostic prospective study with a control group.

ReviewIntraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring in spine surgery. Developments and state of the art in France in 2011.
Intraoperative spinal cord monitoring consists in a subcontinuous evaluation of spinal cord sensory-motor functions and allows the reduction the incidence of neurological complications resulting from spinal surgery. A combination of techniques is used: somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), motor evoked potentials (MEP), neurogenic motor evoked potentials (NMEP), D waves, and pedicular screw testing. In absence of intraoperative neurophysiological testing, the intraoperative wake-up test is a true form of monitoring even if its latency long and its precision variable. ⋯ All in all, thoracic and thoracolumbar vertebral deviations, with normal preoperative neurological examination are currently the essential indication for spinal cord monitoring. Its absence in this indication is a lost opportunity for the patient. If neurophysiological means are not available, intraoperative wake-up test is a minimal obligation.

Multicenter StudyLocal recurrence after curettage treatment of giant cell tumors in peripheral bones: retrospective study by the GSF-GETO (French Sarcoma and Bone Tumor Study Groups).
Curettage is a well-established treatment modality for giant cell tumors of bone. The purpose of this retrospective study by the French Sarcoma and Bone Tumor Study Groups (GSF-GETO) was to analyze various tumor-specific and surgery-specific factors that could influence the rate of local recurrence. ⋯ 4, retrospective cohort study.

Comparative StudyDo bone loss and reconstruction procedures differ at revision of cemented unicompartmental knee prostheses according to the use of metal-back or all-polyethylene tibial component?
Results of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) revision are known but the severity of bone loss and the need for reconstruction are not detailed for different tibial implants. ⋯ Level III, case-control study.
