[Traumatic C1-C2 luxation in children. Prognostic study and therapeutic indications apropos of 13 cases].
The authors reviewed the cases of 13 children with C1-C2 traumatic dislocations. A particular interest was given to the elements which seemed to have an influence on the conservative treatment. ⋯ Pure rotatory dislocations generally occurring after a slight trauma healed thanks to a strict and necessarily early immobilization. On the contrary anterior dislocations due to violent traumas and all C1-C2 dislocations which treatments were delayed required an arthrodesis.

[Posterior sternoclavicular luxation. Apropos of 6 cases].
The authors have reviewed six retro-sternal dislocations of the clavicle. The indirect mechanism of this dislocation was in 3 cases, due to sport accidents (rugby). ⋯ The surgical reduction revealed lesions of the meniscus which were found in 3 cases out of 6 and allowed one to realize a plastic operation using the tendon of the subclavian muscle (4 times out of 6) in order to stabilize by sternoclavicular joint, as well in recent injuries as in old ones. The results were satisfactory.
