Évolution des lésions infectieuses transphysaires ; Étude rétrospective épidémiologique, bactériologique et radiologique

Cette étude observationnelle a pour but d’appréhender la prévalence des infections hématogènes transphysaires et d’étudier les conséquences que de telles lésions peuvent entraîner sur la croissance ultérieure. Cette entité englobe toutes les ostéomyélites, aigües ou subaigües, qui se caractérisent par un processus infectieux traversant le cartilage conjugal, et impliquant ainsi la métaphyse, la physe, et l’épiphyse. Comme dit précédemment, ce processus infectieux peut se présenter sous une forme aiguë ou subaiguë, variant ainsi en présentation clinique, durée, et perturbation biologique. L’atteinte infectieuse transphysaire étant à même de provoquer une altération de croissance, il est primordial d’en caractériser le profil épidémiologique, bactériologique et radiologique, afin de prendre en charge nos patients de façon optimale

Shoulder Stabilization Technique Using the Medial Glenohumeral Ligament in Patients With the Buford Complex

The Buford complex is an anatomic variation defined as the association of a cordlike middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) and an absent anterosuperior labrum. It can be challenging to properly identify on preoperative imaging and remains mostly an arthroscopic finding. It may, however, lead to problematic situations when encountered during an arthroscopic soft-tissue stabilization procedure, as the treatment of choice in such cases is a bone block. Moreover, reattaching the MGHL to the anterior border of the glenoid rim has traditionally not been recommended because it theoretically leads to severe restriction in external rotation. This technical note describes arthroscopic stabilization for anterior traumatic glenohumeral instability associated with the Buford complex. The cordlike MGHL is used to reconstruct a neo-labrum, associated with an anteroinferior glenohumeral ligament plication. Glenohumeral stabilization using the cordlike MGHL of the Buford complex may be an efficient alternative to a bone block procedure

Moraxella lacunata subacute osteomyelitis in a child

Moraxella lacunata is a rare coccobacillus associated with eye and upper respiratory tract infections. It may also have an affinity for bone and joint tissue. We report on 1 case of subacute osteomyelitis of the patella due to M. lacunata that presented as an osteolytic bone lesion in a child

Pediatric Osteoarticular <i>Kingella kingae</i> Infections of the Hand and Wrist : A Retrospective Study

Our understanding of pediatric osteoarticular infections (OAIs) has improved significantly in recent decades.Kingella kingaeis now recognized as the most common pathogen responsible for OAIs in pediatric populations younger than 4 years old. Research has provided a better understanding of the specific types, clinical characteristics, biological repercussions, and functional outcomes of these infections. Hands and wrists are rarely infected, with few reports available in the literature. The present study aimed to examine this specific condition in a large patient cohort, explore the implications for each anatomical area using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and critically evaluate the evolution of therapeutic management
