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.

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.

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.

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.
