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.

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.

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.

Observational StudyDistal targeting device for long Gamma nail(®). Monocentric observational study.
Intramedullary nail distal locking screws make it possible to control length and rotation but include an increased risk of radiation exposure. A distal targeting device was recently developed for long Gamma(®) nails (Stryker(®)). The aim of this practical observational study was to evaluate the reliability of this system. Our hypothesis was that the targeting device would be systematically used without conversion or complications. ⋯ Level IV, cohort study, observational prospective follow-up.
