Ipsilateral fractures of tibia and femur or floating knee
Ipsilateral fractures of the femur and the tibia are relatively uncommon lesions, with critical consequences to the knee. We report a series of 18 ipsilateral fractures of the femur and the tibia treated at the Department of orthopaedics, CHU Hassan II of Fez, over an eight-year period (1996–2004). Various surgical procedures were used, in particular, intramedullary nailing. After an average follow-up of 2.5 years, we re-examined the 18 patients. The functional results were evaluated using the Schiedts’ criteria, and we had seven excellent results (38.9%), six good (33.4%), and five bad (27.8%). There was one major lesion of the popliteal artery that led to an emergency amputation, two cases of osteitis, one septic non-union, one case of late deep sepsis, one insignificant shortening of 2 cm, two cases of varus, three cases of stiffness, and one ankylosis of the knee. Through this work we will try to show the repercussions of this type of fracture of the knee and to evaluate our therapeutic choices

Electrochemical and spectroscopic methods for evaluating molecular electrocatalysts
© 2017 Macmillan Publishers Limited. Modern energy challenges have amplified interest in transition metal-based molecular electrocatalysts for fuel-forming reactions. The activity of these homogeneous electrocatalysts, and the mechanisms by which they operate, can be uncovered using state-of-the-art electrochemical methods. Catalyst performance can be benchmarked according to metrics obtainable from cyclic voltammograms by analysis of catalytic plateau currents and peak potentials, as well as by foot-of-the-wave analysis. The application of complementary spectroscopic techniques, including spectroelectrochemistry, stopped-flow rapid mixing and transient absorption, are also discussed. In this Review, we present case studies highlighting the utility of these analytical methods in the context of renewable energy. Alongside these examples is a discussion of the theoretical underpinnings of each method, outlining the conditions necessary for the analysis to be rigorous and the type of information that can then be extracted
