    L’amputation et l’appareillage chez l’enfant

    No full text
    National audienceL’amputation d’un membre est toujours vécue comme une malédiction. La connaissance des principes de réalisation d’un moignon adapté à un appareillage fonctionnel moderne est indispensable, dans une démarche pluridisciplinaire. Chez l’enfant, la préservation de la longueur du moignon est cruciale et doit être appréciée en fonction de la croissance restante.L’évolution de l’appareillage prothétique a fait modifier le concept global des emboîtures et a pour finalité trois objectifs: augmentation des surfaces d’appui; suppression des mouvements de glissement entre peau et emboîture; suppression des effets de bras de levier.L’apparition sur le marché de matériaux nouveaux a beaucoup participé à cette évolution. Tout ceci amène de nouveaux critères dans la qualité et l’optimisation des moignons dont la qualité devient très influente sur le résultat fonctionnel de la prothèse.L’adaptation de l’appareillage, la prise en compte des difficultés psychologiques et sociales seront réglées en hospitalisation en médecine physique, au sein d’une équipe médicale, soignante et socio-éducative, en utilisant les outils comme l’imagerie 3D et l’analyse de la marche

    Growth tethering devices for idiopathic scoliosis

    No full text
    International audienceAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a 3D spine deformity that worsens during the whole growth. The treatments available are bracing during the whole growth to avoid progression of the deformity and surgical fusion of the spine at skeletal maturity for the most severe curves. Recent advances in flexible spinal implants have given rise to new expectations in the management of progressive scoliosis with growth modulation without fusion. For the first time, treatment allows us to expect a correction of progressive curves without fusion. This review discusses the recent developments in the field of spinal growth modulation techniques and discusses the pros and cons of the medical devices used in this indication

    Osteochondral alteration in a child treated with levetiracetam

    No full text
    International audienceLevetiracetam is a relatively novel antiepileptic drug used for the treatment of partial and generalized seizures in adult and children. Several animal studies describe a possible drug adverse effect on skeletal growth and metabolism. We present a case report of a 10-year-old female child who underwent a prolonged 7-year treatment with levetiracetam for sporadic secondary convulsions secondary to enterovirus encephalitis at the age of 15 months. This patient developed an osteochondritis dissecans lesion (OCD) of the talar head well treated conservatively. Only a few cases have been described of this rare type of OCD. We hypothesize a possible association between levetiracetam therapy and OCD development, suggesting the importance of long-term control of bone growth in levetiracetam-treated pediatric populations

    L'invention concerne un système de contrôle d'un mouvement d'au moins un segment corporel d'un individu, comprenant : - au moins un capteur (2) tridimensionnel de mouvement, - un moyen (1) de fixation dudit capteur sur ledit segment corporel de l'individu, ledit système étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre : - un processeur (5) couplé audit capteur (2), dans lequel un mouvement de référence et des bornes de tolérance propres à l'individu et évolutifs en fonction de sa progression sont enregistrés, ledit processeur étant configuré pour intégrer les données de mesure dudit capteur de sorte à calculer le mouvement dudit segment et pour comparer en temps réel le mouvement mesuré avec le mouvement de référence de l'individu préalablement enregistré, - un dispositif de rétroaction (4) couplé audit processeur (5), adapté pour fournir à l'individu une information sur la conformité du mouvement mesuré vis-à-vis dudit mouvement de référence

    Lumbopelvic stabilization with external fixator in a patient with lumbosacral agenesis

    A case of caudal regression syndrome in which rehabilitation was obtained by lumbopelvic distraction and stabilization with external fixation Orthofix® is presented. The objective of the study is to describe the benefit of spine external fixator in caudal regression syndrome. Caudal regression syndrome is a rare and sporadic neural defect of distal spinal segments affecting the development of the spinal cord. It is characterized by vertebropelvic instability and essentially manifests as neurological deficit in the lower limbs and absence of bladder and bowel control. Pluridisciplinary management of this affection is complex. The clinical presentation and treatment of caudal regression syndromes are reviewed. A case of a boy for whom physical rehabilitation was obtained with external fixation Orthofix® is presented. Lumbopelvic stabilization was performed with autograft and allograft bone. A spine distraction was performed with external fixation with pedicular screws in L1 and L2 and in the pelvis bone. An elongation of 19 mm was obtained in 35 days. The external fixator was removed after 4 months and a spine cast was applied during 8 months. This treatment resulted in lumbopelvic nonunion of very low mobility. Lumbopelvic stability and the disappearance of pain were achieved. Sitting position was stable without hand support. At 14 years of follow-up, his condition is stable with possible deambulation at home with crutches. Lumbopelvic arthrodesis in caudal regression syndrome is difficult to obtain. The use of spine external fixator, however, allows trunk elongation and can achieve a stable sitting and upright position

    A thoracic spinal bone giant cell tumor in a skeletally immature girl. A case report and literature review

    International audienceGiant cell tumors (GCT) are benign primary bone tumors, locally aggressive, affecting in long bones in young adults during the third decade. It is rare to experience this lesion in skeletally immature patients. GCT are related to a risk of local recurrence and malignant transformation
