[Epidural infiltrations in the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy. Apropos of 200 cases].
The authors report a prospective study on the treatment of radicular compression using epidural infiltrations. ⋯ Avoiding surgical treatment is not the only parameter which should be studied in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment. Lassale's pre and postoperative evaluation with a minimum 1 year follow up showed improvement in all non surgical cases. When compared to the literature, this study shows favorable long term results.

[Long-term result of lumbar disk chemonucleolysis (a 8-12 years follow-up)].
This study is an attempt to assess the effects of chemonucleolysis over an extended period of time (8 to 12 years follow-up). ⋯ We conclude that chemonucleolysis is an effective and safe method for treating sciatica by herniated lumbar discs.

[Acetabular screw rings and surface effects: apropos of a continuous series of 115 primary implantations of Karl Zweymüller's acetabular screw rings after a follow-up of an average of 5.8 years]].
The authors review and analyze a series of patients treated by total hip arthroplasty with a Karl Zweymüller threaded cup. ⋯ Due to its biomecanical characteristics, excellent primary stability, thinness of its pure titanium micropitted surface and low module of elasticity, the Zweymüller screw ring achieves a quite successful compromise between the different conditions necessary not only to obtain but above all to maintain osteointegration at least at mid term.
