The authors present the case of a 35-year-old female patient managed with intralesional curettage and filling the defect with autologous bone graft from iliac crest. An appoint of three doses of Denosumab was done postoperatively. The article discusses the clinical aspects and surgical treatment, and the benefits of Denosumab. This report aimed to demonstrate the possibility to perform curetage for giant cell tumor of the hip even the recommandation for this location is wide resection and endoprothesis fixation.展开更多

This implant, despite its age, remains a solid and reliable material for the synthesis of this type of fracture. Objective: To evaluate the anatomo-clinical and functional results of Staca nail-plate osteosynthesis of trochanteric fractures at the Regional University Hospital of Ouahigouya in Burkina Faso. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 52 trochanteric fractures treated by Staca nail-plate in the regional university hospital of Ouahigouya between June 2007 and June 2017. There were 10 women and 42 men with a mean age of 61 years (range 17 years to 89 years). Ten stable type I and II of Ender classification fractures and 42 unstable fractures were recorded, including four pseudarthrosis and six vicious calluses. The anterolateral approach was used in all cases. In the absence of an image intensifier, we performed an arthrotomy to identify the femoral neck and set up a guide pin. Results: The reduction was satisfactory with stable synthesis in 39 cases. At last follow-up, consolidation was effective in all patients, except one. Two cases of acetabular protrusion were noted, requiring early removal of equipment. Fifty-one patients were autonomous. The overall results were considered satisfactory. Conclusion: The Staca nail-plate remains a means of solid osteosynthesis. Although it is no longer relevant in industrialized countries, it provides comparable results to new implants for the osteosynthesis of trochanteric fractures. Because of its low cost, its abandonment is not justified in low-income countries.展开更多

Objective: To evaluate the treatment of traumatic acetabular lesions in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of the Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital, for their better management. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective study, conducted in our department from January 2012 to December 2016. Sixty-three patients with TAI and complete records were selected. The mean age of patients with coxofemoral dislocations was 34.2 years and 36.4 years for acetabulum fractures with male predominance in both injury types. The injuries were mainly caused by a violent road traffic accident (RTA) (90.5%). Forty hip dislocations and 41 acetabular fractures were reported, with a prevalence of iliac dislocations (52.5%) and posterior wall fractures of the acetabulum (24.4%). Results: The average time to manage TAI was 15.9 hours (range 2 - 100). Medical treatment was performed in all patients. Thirty-eight coxofemoral dislocations and 34 acetabular fractures were treated by orthopedic methods. Seven complex acetabular fractures and two coxo-femoral dislocations were performed by surgical method. Two patients died (3.2%), one in a hemorrhagic shock table and the other in a septic shock table. Immediate and late complications were identified. Conclusion: Early and adequate management of our TAI, requires a modern technical platform and a sufficient number of qualified medical personnel to improve their functional outcomes.展开更多
