Abstract
The hydro-meteorological conditions in marine environments are recognized to have a major impact on the transport and dispersion of microplastics (MP), although their precise effects remain poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of tidal fluctuations on MP abundance and composition in a megatidal coastal water. Waters samples were collected every ninety minutes over the course of two complete tidal cycles - one during spring tide and another during neap tide. There were no significant disparities in term of abondance, size, and composition of MPs between the samples collected during the two tidal cycles. Nevertheless, MP abundance and characteristics (morphology, size and polymer types) can be influenced over the course of a complete tidal cycle due to the impact of tidal currents and water height. This study highlights the need to consider the fluctuations of the tidal cycle when planning in-situ surveys to better assess MP pollution in coastal environments.

Abstract
CONTEXT Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare syndrome with a poor prognosis, characterized by an uncontrolled dysregulation of the immune system. The rarity of this disease makes it difficult to obtain large cohorts. In this study, we analyzed the data of 66 patients: the objective was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, biological and therapeutic characteristics and to compare our results with those already published. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study at the University Hospital of Montpellier from 2015 to 2021. Patients were included when the diagnosis of HLH was mentioned on the hospitalization report and when the HSCORE was higher than 50% (169). Prognostic analyses were performed by comparing the patients who died from HMH to those who didn't. RESULTS The mean age the 66 patients included was 49.2 years, 62% were men. The percentage of deaths was 45.9%. Lymphoma was the main etiology, followed by infections, then autoimmune/autoinflammatory diseases. Fever, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly and organ failure were the main clinical manifestations. Pancytopenia was present in 62% of cases. Ferritin, triglycerides, LDH and AST were highly increased. Advanced age, associated lymphoma, and the severity of cytopenias were linked to a poor prognosis. DISCUSSION The study of the clinico-biological, epidemiological and survival data of the patients in our cohort allowed us to confirm previously published data but also to discuss some of them.

Abstract
Due to limitations of sampling methods, subsurface water is usually a less well-investigated compartment of the water column when scientists assess microplastic contamination. In this study, microplastic (MP) contamination was assessed in a freshwater river both in surface and subsurface using an innovative sampling method. Microplastic contamination in the lower part of the water column, i.e., near-bottom water and in sediments, was also studied. Three sampling campaigns were carried out during different weather conditions: stormy, rainy, and dry in order to observe their influence on the microplastics vertical distribution. No significant difference was observed between the abundance and types of MPs in surface and subsurface water. The proportion of polymer with theoretical density < 1 (polypropylene d = 0.9, polyethylene d = 0.91-0.95) and polystyrene (d = 0.1-1.06) in the surface and subsurface samples was 73.5%, and this proportion drops to 40.8% for the samples located in the near-bottom water and the sediments. Our results indicate that the MP concentration of the different compartments analyzed can be significantly influenced by rainfall during and prior to the sampling day. This study highlights that in shallow rivers, surface water sampling is representative of the water column MP contamination, but that sampling without taking environmental conditions into account may lead to erroneous estimation of MPs concentration and flux entering the marine environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Joint aspiration is currently the reference standard test for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) despite the high rate of false-negative results, of which a major cause is the fastidious nature of some microorganisms. A rapid diagnostic test that detects alpha defensin (Synovasure™, Zimmer, Warsaw, IN, USA) in joint fluid can provide the diagnosis of PJI within a few minutes across the full spectrum of causative organisms (including mycobacteria and yeasts). Its performance in detecting bacterial infections is unaltered by concomitant antibiotic therapy. Few studies of Synovasure™ have been conducted by groups that were involved in designing the test, which has not been validated in France. Assessments in referral centres where complex microbiological situations are common hold considerable interest. The objective of this prospective study was to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and causes of error of Synovasure™ used to diagnose periprosthetic infection in complex microbiological situations. HYPOTHESIS The rapid diagnostic test Synovasure™ has greater than 90% NPV for detecting periprosthetic infections in complex microbiological infections. MATERIAL AND METHODS Synovasure™ was used 42 times in 39 patients between October 2015 and October 2017 in challenging microbiological situations [discordant joint aspiration results (n=20), negative cultures with clinical or laboratory evidence of infection, (n=21), and concomitant antibiotic therapy (n=1)]. Of the 39 patients, 23 had total knee prostheses, 13 total hip prostheses, and 3 total femoral prostheses. The reference standard to which the Synovasure™ results were compared was the PJI criteria set developed by the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS). RESULTS Synovasure™ was negative in 30 cases with negative joint fluid cultures (30/42, 71.4%). Of the 12 (28.6%) cases with positive Synovasure™ results, only 7 (7/12, 58.3%) had positive joint fluid cultures. According to the MSIS criteria 9 cases were infected, including 8 with positive and 1 with negative Synovasure™ results. Of the 33 cases that were not infected according to MSIS criteria, 29 had negative and 3 positive Synovasure™ results; the remaining case had a positive Synovasure™ result but was excluded when metallosis was found intra-operatively. NPV was 96.7%, PPV 72.7%, sensitivity 88.9%, and specificity 90.6%. DISCUSSION The high NPV of Synovasure™ suggests a role for this test in microbiologically complex situations as a new tool for ruling in and, most importantly, ruling out infection in doubtful cases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, prospective study of diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Use of a locking plate during medial opening high tibial osteotomy (HTO) eliminates the need to fill the defect and its associated complications. It also allows early weight-bearing. Since long-term data with this type of construct are rare, we wanted to report the outcomes of a 51-patient cohort evaluated after a mean follow-up of 10.2years. The goals were to determine (1) the HTO survival and whether the correction was maintained between 2 and 10years later, (2) the stability of the functional outcomes, (3) the complication rate related to use of locking plates. HYPOTHESIS The correction following medial opening HTO with a Tomofix™ plate without void filling is maintained after 10years' follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-one patients ranging from 37 to 72years of age at the time of surgery between 2003 and 2005 underwent a medial opening HTO that was stabilized with a Tomofix™ locking plate (Synthes, Oberdorf, Switzerland) without void filling. Forty-eight patients were reviewed between March and September 2014; 1 patient had died and 2 were lost to follow-up. RESULTS The mean HKA angle went from 172±3.18° (165-178°) preoperatively to 181±1.18° (176-185°) postoperatively, to 181±1.60° (176-185°) at 2years, and 180.8±2.4° (175-184°) at 10years' follow-up. This equates to a loss of correction of 0.71±1.9° (0-6°) (p=0.02) between 2 and 10years after the surgery. Five patients underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), thus the 10-year survival of the HTO procedure was 88% (95% CI: 81-98%). If the five TKA procedures are excluded, the mean IKS knee score went from 90±7.4 (66-98) at 2years' follow-up to 77±15.3 (43-97) at 10years (p>0.05). There were four complications in all (8%), of which three occurred within 2years (2 cases of nonunion and 1 surgical site infection) and one occurred later (infection after 118months that resolved once the hardware was removed and the patient given appropriate antibiotics). There were no complications related to the five subsequent TKA procedure and no bone grafting was required. DISCUSSION There was a small (less than 1 degree) but statistically significant loss of correction and non-significant deterioration in the functional outcomes. Conversely, the complication rate did not increase over time, despite the lack of void filling, particularly in patients who subsequently underwent TKA. The 10-year survival was similar to other HTO procedures. This locking plate construct without void filling is reliable after 10years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, prospective study without control group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation rates in posterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) range between 2% and 5%, but long-term course (recurrence of dislocation or revision surgery) is not known, most series having short follow-up or small populations. We therefore conducted a retrospective study on a large series, to determine long-term rates of recurrence and surgical revision and recurrence risk factors. HYPOTHESIS Long-term follow-up of a large cohort of THA dislocations enables recurrence rate and factors to be determined. MATERIAL AND METHOD Five hundred and nine cases of THA dislocation were admitted to our center between 1994 and 2008. A hundred and twenty seven incomplete files and 150 patients who had received their THA elsewhere were excluded, leaving 232 patients: 150 female, 82 male. Mean age at THA (163 primary, 69 revision) was 63 years (range, 15-90 years), and 65 years (range 20-90 years) at first dislocation, with a mean interval to dislocation of 25 months. Minimum follow-up was 8 years up to 2016, or 1 year taking account of deaths (111 deaths). There were 46 anterior, 185 posterior and 1 multidirectional dislocations. The following potential recurrence factors were assessed: gander, age, body-mass index (BMI), etiology, surgical history, bearing diameter and type, component fixation means, dislocation direction, and time to dislocation. RESULTS A hundred and thirty three of the 232 patients (57%) showed at least 1 recurrence, at a mean 38 months (range, 0.5-252 months); 78 experienced a second and 32 a third recurrence. Ninety-nine (43%) had only 1 dislocation, without recurrence, but 17 of these (17%) underwent reoperation for other causes. The reoperation rate was 17/232 (7%) excluding recurrent instability, and 84/232 (36%) for instability. Fourty-eight months after the first dislocation, 84/133 cases of recurrence (63%) had been reoperated on: 16 complete replacements, 18 bearing replacements, 42 dual mobility cups, one large diameter cup, seven Lefèvre retentive cups. The rate of revision surgery for instability was high, at 84/232 (36%), and higher again in relation to recurrence (84/133: 63%). Only posterior dislocation emerged as a factor for recurrence (HR=1.774, 95% CI [1.020-3.083]), the other tested factors showing no correlation.14 of the 84 revision surgeries for instability (16.6%) were followed by recurrence, without identifiable risk factors. CONCLUSION/DISCUSSION The recurrence rate was 57%, with posterior dislocation as the only risk factor. The rate of revision surgery for recurrence was 84/232 (36%), with 14/84 revision procedures (16.6%) followed by further recurrence. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective, without control group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients are playing an increasingly large role in their own management and must therefore receive clear, complete, and comprehensible information. In the field of hip and knee arthroplasty, little is known about the level of patient knowledge and effectiveness of surgeon-to-patient information transfer. We therefore designed a prospective observational study with the objective of assessing four factors: patient knowledge during management, quality of information transfer, informational needs, and factors associated with the level of knowledge. HYPOTHESIS The level of patient knowledge changes during the management process. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective single-centre study was conducted between January 2014 and March 2015 during the outpatient visits and inpatient stays of 63 patients who underwent arthroplasty of the hip (n=36) or knee (n=27). A single observer attended all patient visits and recorded the information provided by the surgeon. Each patient completed a self-questionnaire after the outpatient visit (T1), at admission (T2), and at discharge after surgery (T3). Semi-quantitative scores were used to assess knowledge and informational needs. The effectiveness of information transfer was evaluated by comparing the information provided by the surgeon to the replies made by the patients. RESULTS The mean overall knowledge score (on a 0-42 scale) increased from 17.22±6.33 at T1 to 19.44±6.89 at T3 (P=0.0028). In contrast, knowledge about complications was better at T1 than at T3 (2.67±1.98 vs. 2.19±1.91; P<0.05). Agreement between information given by the surgeon and replies made by patients varied across items from 23% to 100%. The mean informational needs score (on a scale from 0 to 21) ranged from 3.67 to 4.83 and was higher at T3 than at T2 (4.83±3.77 vs. 3.67±4.86; P=0.03). The proportion of patients who wanted written information was higher at T3. Most patients sought information before the outpatient visit. At each step of the management process, the main areas about which the patients wanted information were the surgical procedure, the rehabilitation programme, and the prosthesis. Several socio-demographic or management-related factors influenced the level of knowledge. Thus, older age and lower educational attainment were associated with lower knowledge scores, whereas previous lower-limb orthopaedic surgery and amount of information provided by the surgeon were associated with higher knowledge scores. Knowledge scores were not associated with being employed vs. retired, gender, replacement of a hip vs. a knee, the surgeon, or being accompanied by another person. DISCUSSION Our study is original in that we assessed changes in patient knowledge during the management process for hip or knee arthroplasty. The level of patient knowledge was fairly low and varied considerably across individuals and time points in the management process. These data highlight the importance of providing patients with information throughout their management and particularly at discharge, when the desire for information seems greatest. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, prospective observational study with no control group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of patello-femoral instability (PFI) relies chiefly on the patient's clinical findings. Nevertheless, few clinical scores specifically designed to evaluate the patello-femoral joint are available. The Lille scoring system is a 12-item self-questionnaire yielding a score from 0 to 100 that is used in France but has not been validated. We therefore conducted a validation study in a population of younger patients with PFI. HYPOTHESIS The Lille scoring system meets validation criteria for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective study done in two centres identified 136 patients with objective (n=109) or potential (n=27) PFI. Before and after surgery, the Lille score was determined by all patients and the Kujala score in 61 patients. The Lille score was also determined by 30 controls free of patello-femoral disorders to allow an evaluation of discrimination between PFI and other knee disorders in individuals of similar age. RESULTS The response rate was 100%, indicating that the Lille questionnaire was easy to complete. Consistency was established: (a) the global score showed no floor or ceiling effect (in no questionnaires were over 85% of items given the highest or lowest possible score), and saturation occurred neither for the global score nor for the item sub-scores (fewer than 85% of patients had the lowest or highest possible score); (b) a single redundancy was found, between the items 'pain' and 'locking', for which the correlation coefficient was≥0.7 (P<0.0001). Discriminating performance was assessed by comparing the mean Lille score values in the controls (67.8±9.2) and patients (38.1±10.4); the difference was significant (P<0.05) and the estimated effect size was>0.8, indicating strong discrimination by the Lille scoring system. Item uniformity, with all items measuring the same phenomenon, was established by the Cronbach alpha coefficient value>0.7. External consistency between the Lille and Kujala scoring systems was confirmed in the 61 patients for whom both scores were available (Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.5). Sensitivity to change was established by the>0.8 effect size of surgical treatment. DISCUSSION The Lille scoring system deserves to be used routinely in clinical practice as a patient-reported outcome measure. A prospective study will assess intra-observer reproducibility and sensitivity to change in patients treated non-operatively. Although confined to retrospective data, this study based on methods designed to assess PROMs establishes the validity of the Lille scoring system and supports its use in PFI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, case-control design.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Factors that predict the occurrence of a surgical site infection due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are not well known; however this information could be used to modify the recommended antimicrobial prophylaxis. We carried out a retrospective study of S. aureus infections on orthopedic implants to determine: (1) whether epidemiological factors can be identified that predict a MRSA infection, (2) the impact of these factors as evidenced by the odds ratio (OR). HYPOTHESIS Risk factors for a MRSA infection can be identified from a cohort of patients with S. aureus infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 244 patients who experienced a S. aureus surgical site infection (SSI) in 2011-2012 documented by intraoperative sample collection. Of these 244 patients, those who had a previous SSI (n=44), those with a SSI but no orthopedic implant (n=80) or those who had the infection more than 1-year after the initial surgery (n=5) were excluded. This resulted in 115 patients (53 arthroplasty, 62 bone fixation) being analyzed for this study. There were 24 MRSA infections and 91 MSSA infections. The following factors were evaluated in bivariate and multifactorial analysis: age, sex, type of device (prosthesis/bone fixation), predisposition (diabetes, obesity, kidney failure), and environmental factors (hospitalization in intensive care unit within past 5 years, nursing home stay). RESULTS Two factors were correlated with the occurrence of MRSA infections. (1) Nursing home patients had a higher rate of MRSA infections (67% vs. 18%, P=0.017) with an OR of 8.42 (95% CI: 1.06-66.43). (2) Patients who had undergone bone fixation had a lower rate of MRSA infections than patients who had undergone arthroplasty (13% vs. 30%, P=0.023), OR 0.11 (95% CI: 0.02-0.56). Although the sample size was too small to be statistically significant, all of the patients with kidney failure (n=4) had a MRSA infection. DISCUSSION Since these MRSA infection risk factors are easy to identify, the antimicrobial prophylaxis could be adapted in these specific patient groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE Revision of infected total knee replacements (TKR) is usually delayed for a period in which the joint space is filled with an antibiotic-loaded acrylic spacer. In contrast, one-stage re-implantation supposes immediate re-implantation. Formal comparisons between the two methods are scarce. A retrospective multi-centre study was conducted to investigate the effects of surgery type (one-stage vs. two-stage) on cure rates. It was hypothesised that this parameter would not influence the results. METHOD All infected TKR, treated consecutively between 2005 and 2010 by senior surgeons working in six referral hospitals, were included retrospectively. Two hundred and eighty-five patients, undergoing one-stage or two-stage TKR, with more than 2-year follow-up (clinical and radiological) were eligible for data collection and analysis. Of them, 108 underwent one-stage and 177 received two-stage TKR. Failure was defined as infection recurrence or persistence of the same or unknown pathogens. Factors linked with infection recurrence were analysed by uni- and multi-variate logistic regression with random intercept. RESULTS Factors associated with infection recurrence were fistulae (odds ratio (OR) 3.4 [1.2-10.2], p = 0.03), infection by gram-negative bacteria (OR 3.3 [1.0-10.6], p = 0.05), and two-stage surgery with static spacers (OR 4.4 [1.1-17.9], p = 0.04). Gender and type of surgery interacted (p = 0.05). In men (133 patients), type of surgery showed no significant linkage with infection recurrence. In women (152 patients), two-stage surgery with static spacers was associated independently with infection recurrence (OR 5.9 [1.5-23.6], p = 0.01). Among patients without infection recurrence, International Knee Society scores were similar between those undergoing one-stage or two-stage exchanges. CONCLUSION Two-stage procedures offered less benefit to female patients. It suggests that one-stage procedures are preferable, because they offer greater comfort without increasing the risk of recurrence. Routine one-stage procedures may be a reasonable option in the treatment of infected TKR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Five angles (HKA, HKS, alpha, beta, tibial slope) are used for goniometry in total knee arthroplasty. The reproducibility of the measurement of these angles has been assessed on plain and digitized x-rays, but to our knowledge, this has not been confirmed on x-rays taken on the PACS system and they have not been compared to computed tomography (CT) measurements, the reference for angle measurement. This prospective study aimed to: (1) evaluate the inter- and intrarater reliability of the measurement of these angles on digital x-rays taken on a PACS; (2) determine the agreement of these measurements with those obtained using a CT protocol. HYPOTHESIS The measurements of these five angles on digitized radiographs are reproducible and in agreement with CT values. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-two patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis and scheduled for total knee arthroplasty were included in the study. Each patient had a PACS digitized x-ray and a CT intended to produce patient-specific instrumentation (Symbios, Yverdon, Switzerland) including measurements of the angles evaluated. Four senior orthopaedic surgeon-raters measured all the angles twice. Inter- and intrarater reliability was then calculated as well as the agreement between the second measurement of each rater and the CT measurement using interclass correlation and kappa coefficients (data provided as means and 95% confidence intervals). RESULTS The inter- and intrarater reliability values were excellent for the HKA, alpha, and beta angles (with, respectively, a coefficient of 0.99 [0.97-0.99], 0.84 [0.76-0.9], and 0.94 [0.86-0.96] interrater reliability and 0.98 [0.96-0.99], 0.86 [0.75-0.92], and 0.65 [0.44-0.8] intrarater reliability). Interrater reliability was low for HKS and tibial slope angles (coefficients all<0.4 for interrater reliability and <0.7 for intrarater reliability). The x-ray/CT agreement was very good for the HKA, alpha, and beta angles (0.81 [0.67-0.99], 0.74 [0.56-0.91], and 0.74 [0.45-0.92], respectively) and low for the HKS and tibial slope angles (all<0.45). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION The HKA, alpha, and beta angles were reproducible for digital radiographs and showed good agreement with CT measurements. HKS and tibial slope angles should be used with greater caution, and other navigation methods or patient-specific instrumentation should be explored. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, prospective, comparative diagnostic case-control study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful management of large bone defects is of crucial importance when performing revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Trabecular tantalum cones may improve prosthesis fixation via their potential for reconstructing a stable metaphyseal support. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes and the complications of tantalum cones in revision TKA. HYPOTHESIS Trabecular tantalum cones provide stable and durable metaphyseal reconstruction when used during revision TKA. MATERIAL AND METHODS Trabecular Metal™ cones (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN, USA) were used for 52 revision TKAs in 51 patients (mean age, 68±9 years) managed in two centres between 2008 and 2013. A rotating hinge prosthesis was chosen for 38 (73%) knees and a condylar constrained knee prosthesis for 14 (27%) knees, with 37 tibial and 34 femoral cones. The two most common reasons for revision surgery were aseptic loosening (n=22, 42%) and infection (n=19, 37%). The bone loss was severe in most cases. At each centre, after a mean follow-up of 34 months (range, 24-52 months), two independent observers assessed the Knee Society Score (KSS), range of motion, mechanical axis, and osteo-integration for each patient. RESULTS Mean KSS increased from 46 preoperatively to 77 (P=0.001) at last follow-up and the mean KSS function from 39 to 57 (P=0.007). Mean range of motion improved from 93° (45°-120°) to 110° (65°-130°) (P=0.001). Mean postoperative mechanical axis was 180° (172°-190°). Radiographic evaluation showed evidence of osteo-integration for all cones. Four revisions were performed for recurrence of infection but none for mechanical failure. DISCUSSION The findings of our study confirm the biomechanical and biological reliability of Trabecular Metal™ cones used to fill metaphyseal bone defects during revision TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective therapeutic study.

Abstract
Iliopsoas irritation due to acetabular cup component impingement following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is usually treated by infiltration or by distal iliopsoas tenotomy in case of recurrence; however, this can result in an active flexion deficit of the thigh. To prevent this complication, we developed an original technique that we performed between 2012 and 2014 in patients with recurrent impingement following extraarticular corticosteroid injections. This included 5 patients (mean age: 64 [53-75] years old) in whom we performed an ambulatory bursectomy by the Hueter approach and placed a polyglactin 910 (Vicryl™) mesh plate on the entire anterior hip capsule. After a mean follow-up of 12months (9-29months), anterior pain had decreased in all patients with improvement and an increase in the Oxford-12 (mean: 15 points [10-19]), Merle d'Aubigné (mean: 2.5 points [1-5]) and Harris (mean: 18 points [10-29]) scores. No flexion deficits were observed. An infected postoperative hematoma had to be drained but was cured at follow-up. This simple procedure provides satisfactory results and preserves THA function. It does not jeopardize future procedures and is an alternative option in case of unsuccessful conservative treatment.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Final flexion mobility after a total knee arthroplasty is an important factor in patient comfort. Some patients gain in flexion mobility, others do not. Is it possible to identify the clinical factors related to the patient that predicted the final gain in flexion? MATERIALS AND METHODS A multicenter retrospective study directed by the Société française de la hanche et du genou (SFHG) was conducted on 1601 cases of total knee arthroplasty that had presented no complications and a minimal follow-up of 2 years. The gain in flexion was assessed by the difference between the preoperative and the final range of flexion. The range of the gain in flexion was tested based on eight factors: age, gender, etiology, body mass index, frontal deformity, preoperative flexum deformity and four levels of preoperative mobility: < 90°, 90°-109°, 110°-129°, and ≥ 130°. RESULTS A mean gain in flexion of 8.4°±14° was found for the overall series. In 66% of cases, we found an increase of flexion and in 19% a loss of flexion. In cases with BMI higher than 35, varus deformity with an HKA angle<166°, or flessum greater than 5°, the gain in flexion was significantly higher. A significantly different gain in flexion (P<0.0001) was found in the four levels of preoperative flexion: the greatest gain in flexion was found in the "<90°" group, then this gain was less in the next two groups, to become a significant decrease in the "≥130°" group. A decrease in flexion was noted in 51% of the cases in the latter group. Other factors such as age, sex, and etiology had no influence on the gain in flexion. DISCUSSION After TKA, a gain in flexion was often noted. The amount of gain depended on the preoperative range of flexion: the lower this level was, the more flexion increased. The presence of a varus deformity, morbid obesity, or flessum was associated with greater gain in flexion, even if the final flexion was lower than the mean flexion in the overall population. The search for these factors made it possible to predict a gain in flexion and discuss this with the patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV. Multicenter retrospective study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction associated to anterior tibial tuberosity transfer (ATTT) is recommended in objective patellofemoral instability (PFI). Efficacy, however, has not been precisely determined in trochlear dysplasia with spur. A case-control study was performed in a PFI population, comparing groups with trochlear dysplasia with and without spur (S+ vs. S-) to assess the impact of trochlear dysplasia on (1) patellofemoral stability, (2) functional results and complications, and (3) patellofemoral cartilage status on MRI. HYPOTHESIS Trochlear spur does not affect outcome in PFI managed by MPFL reconstruction and ATTT. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-eight knees (26 patients) with PFI were analyzed retrospectively and divided into 2 groups of 14 knees each according to presence of trochlear spur (S+ vs. S-). All 28 knees had undergone ATTT and MPFL reconstruction by semitendinosus autograft. Results were assessed on Lille and IKDC functional scores, and cartilage status was determined on MRI at last follow-up. RESULTS At a mean 24 months' follow-up (range, 12-52 months), there was no recurrence of dislocation. IKDC and Lille scores tended to improve in both groups, although the only significant improvement was in IKDC score (S- gain, 21.3±16; S+ gain, 18.1±14) (P=0.01). IKDC scores at last follow-up were better in the S+ than S- group (79±19 [range, 21-92] vs. 68±13 [range, 35-84], respectively; P=0.012). Lille scores showed no significant inter-group differences in mean gain (P=0.492) or mean value (P=0.381). The S+ group showed more cartilage lesions (n=14/14 knees, including 12/14 with grade≥2 lesions) than the S- group (n=9/14 knees, all grade≤2). CONCLUSION MPFL reconstruction with ATTT provided good short-term patellofemoral stability independently of the severity of trochlear dysplasia. Functional results and gain on IKDC, however, were poorer in case of dysplasia with trochlear spur. This is probably due to cartilage lesions, observed more frequently pre- and post-operatively in the spur group, especially as there was no significant difference in Lille Score, which highlights stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomic reconstruction of the hip is among the main requirements for hip arthroplasty to be successful. Resurfacing arthroplasty may improve replication of the native joint geometry but has been evaluated only using standard radiographs. We therefore performed a computed tomography (CT) study to assess restoration of hip geometry after total hip resurfacing (HR), comparatively with the non-operated side. HYPOTHESIS HR does not change native extra-medullary hip geometry by more than 5mm and/or 5°. PATIENTS AND METHODS CT was used to evaluate unilateral HR in 75 patients with a mean age of 52.2years (range, 22-67years). The normal non-operated side served as the control in each patient. Mean follow-up was 2.5years (range, 1.9-3.1years). The primary evaluation criteria were femoral offset (FO) and femoral neck anteversion (FNA) and the secondary criteria were cup inclination angle, cup anteversion angle, and lower-limb length. RESULTS FO showed a non-significant decrease (mean, -2.2mm; range, -4.5 to +3.7mm). FNA was preserved, with a difference of less than 2° at last follow-up versus the preoperative value. Cup measurements showed a mean anteversion angle of 24.8° (0.9-48.6) and mean inclination angle of 44.1° (32.1-56.3); corresponding values for the native acetabulum were 38.9° (20.5-54.8) and 24.8° (4.8-33.6). The residual lower-limb length discrepancy was less than 1mm (mean, -0.04mm [-1.2 to +1.6mm]). The mean angle between the femoral implant and the femoral neck axis was 5.4° of valgus. DISCUSSION Our results show that HR accurately restored the native extra-medullary hip geometry. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, prospective diagnostic case-control study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trochlear dysplasia is one of the main elements of patellofemoral instability. Although correction by trochleoplasty seems logical, the long-term outcome of this procedure is unknown and the progression to osteoarthritis has not been clarified. Thus, we performed a retrospective study of a series of sulcus deepening trochleoplasties with a 15-year follow-up whose goal was to (1) evaluate the long-term clinical outcome and radiological rate of osteoarthritis, and (2) define the results in relation to the type of instability and the grade of dysplasia. HYPOTHESIS Sulcus deepening trochleoplasty is an effective procedure to stabilize the patellofemoral joint that does not increase the risk of osteoarthritis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study analyzed 34 sulcus deepening trochleoplasties based on clinical scores (IKS, Lille, Kujala and Oxford scores) and radiological results (stage of osteoarthritis according to the Iwano score) after a mean follow-up of 15 years (12-19 years). An Insall procedure was systematically associated with an anterior tibial tubercle transfer in 17 cases (7 prior tibial transfers). RESULTS No recurrent objective instability was observed. Seven knees had additional surgery after a mean follow-up of 7 years (2-16): 7 underwent conversion to total knee arthroplasty because of progression of osteoarthritis and one knee had tibial tubercle transfer for pain and episodes of the knee giving way. The mean Lille, Kujala and IKS scores increased from 53.3 (30-92), 55 (13-75) and 127 (54-184) to 61.5 (25-93), 76 (51-94) and 152.4 (66-200) respectively between preoperative and follow-up assessment (P<0.05) (revisions included). Functional outcome was significantly better for dysplasia with supratrochlear spurs (IKS score 168 [127-200] versus 153 [98-198] and Kujula score 81.5 [51-98] versus 76 [51-94] [P<0.05]). Patients were satisfied in 65% of the cases and the total mean Oxford score was 24.1/60 (12-45 points). Occasional pain was present in 53% of the cases. The trochlear prominence decreased from 4.9 mm (3-9 mm) to -1.2mm (-7-4mm). Ten cases of preoperative patellofemoral osteoarthritis were identified, but none with>Iwano 2, while osteoarthritis was present in 33/34 cases at the final follow-up with 20 cases>Iwano 2 (65%). DISCUSSION Sulcus deepening trochleoplasty corrects patellofemoral stability even in patients with severe dysplasia and the long-term functional outcome is better in this group. It does not prevent patellofemoral osteoarthritis. It should be limited to severe dysplasia with supratrochlear spurs and associated with procedures to realign the extensor apparatus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although constrained condylar knee (CCK) inserts are widely used for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), their long-term outcomes remain unclear. We sought to evaluate patients with at least 10 years' follow-up after CCK TKA to identify potential adverse events (osteolysis, loosening, constraint-mechanism failure), assess functional outcomes with special emphasis on range of motion, and determine prosthesis survival. HYPOTHESIS Increasing constraint by implantation of a CCK insert does not increase the long-term frequencies of osteolysis or mechanical loosening. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 43 knees after Legacy(®) CCK TKA. The indication was severe deformity (n=20), pre-operative laxity (n=6), or failure to achieve intra-operative balancing (n=17). There were 41 patients with a mean age of 66 years (21-88). A history of one or more surgical procedures was noted for 27 (63%) knees. Outcome measures were the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score, Knee Society Score (KSS), and change in the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle. Prosthesis survival was assessed using revision surgery for any reason or for reasons other than infection as the censoring criterion. RESULTS Complications other than venous thrombosis occurred in 16% of patients, including 3 who required revision surgery (septic loosening, n=2; and major instability in a patient with ipsilateral hip arthrodesis). No cases of osteolysis or aseptic loosening were recorded. Mean follow-up was 12.7 years (range, 10-14). At last follow-up, the HSS score had improved from 53 (26-83) pre-operatively to 80 (55-93), the KSS knee component from 42 (16-77) to 90 (77-99), and the KSS function component from 31 (0-80) to 61 (10-90) (P<0.001). Mean range of flexion increased from 109° (50°-140°) to 112° (90°-130°) (P=0.12). The HKA angle changed from 182°±15.5° (150°-210°) to 179.5°±2.5° (174°-184°) (P=0.5). The 11-year prosthesis survival rate was 88.5% (95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.94) overall and 97.7% (0.76-0.99) after excluding the cases of infection. DISCUSSION Long-term functional gains after CCK TKA were similar to those reported after standard posterior-stabilised TKA, with no cases of constraint-mechanism failure or osteolysis. The complication rate was higher, with decreased survival compared to standard TKA, but the knee deformities and/or instability were particularly severe and two-thirds of knees had a history of one or more surgical procedures.

Abstract
Management of bone loss is a major challenge in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The development of preformed porous tantalum cones offers new possibilities, because they seem to have biological and mechanical qualities that facilitate osseointegration. Compared to the original procedure, when metaphyseal bone defects are too severe, a single tantalum cone may not be enough and we have developed a technique that could extend the indications for this cone in these cases. We used 2 cones to fill femoral bone defects in 7 patients. There were no complications due to wear of the tantalum cones. Radiological follow-up did show any migration or loosening. The short-term results confirm the interest of porous tantalum cones and suggest that they can be an alternative to allografts or megaprostheses in case of massive bone defects.

Abstract
Correction of leg length discrepancy during hip arthroplasty is a technical challenge. Although resurfacing proposed to young subjects presents a number of advantages (stability, bone stock, etc.), it does not correct leg length discrepancy. We propose an original femoral lengthening technique concomitant to resurfacing performed through the same approach, consisting in a Z-shaped subtrochanteric osteotomy. Resurfacing was performed first and the femoral and acetabular reaming material was used for autografting. The series comprised five cases followed for a mean 42.2 months (range, 33-64 months). The mean surgical time was 100 min (range, 76-124 min). Weightbearing was authorized in all cases at the 8th week. The mean lengthening was 32 mm (range, 25-40 mm). Healing was observed in all cases. This surgical technique, reserved for very young subjects who accept an 8-week postoperative period without weightbearing, can be proposed in cases with substantial preoperative leg length discrepancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Results of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) revision are known but the severity of bone loss and the need for reconstruction are not detailed for different tibial implants. HYPOTHESIS Metal-backing UKA revision exposes the patient to more severe tibial bone loss and requires more substantial reconstruction procedures than cemented polyethylene UKA revision. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective series of 23 revisions of UKA to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared 11 all-polyethylene UKAs with 12 metal-backing UKAs. Factors that contributed to failure were aseptic loosening (n=12) and osteoarthritis evolution (n=11). Both groups were similar regarding the demographic and clinical features. We reported bone loss and the reconstruction procedure to fill it according to the initially used tibial implant. The results were evaluated with the IKS score to a follow-up of 37 months (range, 24-67 months). RESULTS There were more tibial segmental bone loss (10 versus 3) and more metal wedges (8/12 versus 2/11) in metal-backing UKA revision (P<0.05). Tibial stems were more often used in metal-backing UKA revision (12/12 versus 7/11) (P=0.04). The results of TKA at follow-up did not differ according to whether the revised tibial implant was all polyethylene (IKS=155 [range, 107-195]) or metal-back (IKS=155 [range, 127-172]). DISCUSSION This study suggests that metal-backing UKA revision exposes the patient to more severe tibial bone loss requiring more substantial reconstruction. These results must be confirmed on a larger population, but surgeons should be alerted to this kind of revision surgery, which warrants having available a revision knee prothesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congruent rotating tibial plateaus are designed to minimise wear after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The Score™ prosthesis has a congruent rotating tibial plateau, a deep trochlear groove, and uses a computer-assisted navigation system for ligament balancing. Although this prosthesis is widely utilized, no accurate data on outcomes are available. HYPOTHESIS The innovative features of the Score™ prosthesis, most notably patellar replacement with a highly constrained femoral component, do not jeopardize implant survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a pilot study, we retrospectively evaluated outcomes of 19 patients treated with Score™ knee replacement between February and October 2006 (mean age, 66.8 years; range, 58-82 years). The evaluation criteria were the International Knee Society (IKS) scores and prosthesis survival rate estimated using Kaplan-Meier plots with failure defined as revision need to change the prosthesis. RESULTS Mean follow-up was 35.3 months. The IKS knee score increased from 27.4 (5-60) preoperatively to 81.4 (45-99) at last follow-up (P<0.0001). Mean mechanical axis was 181.2° (180-186°), with 16 between 180° and 183°. Revision surgery was required in five cases (for patellar complications with combined motion-range limitation in flexion (<90°) and extension (5-20°) in three cases, isolated motion-range limitation in one case, and recurvatum deformity with instability in one case). Prosthesis survival was 82% (73-91%) after 24 months and 65% (51-78%) after 44 months. DISCUSSION The deep trochlear groove femoral component resulted in patellar complications, which were the most common reasons for revision surgery, together with motion-range limitation and instability possibly related to improper use of the navigation system. This small retrospective case-series study showed an unusually low prosthesis survival rate probably related to the implant design. We no longer use the Score™ prosthesis, despite the availability of a dedicated navigation system, and we recommend careful monitoring of patients who have this prosthesis.

Abstract
Intrauterine devices (IUD) used for contraception can be the source of local infections or can migrate, which justifies regular checking recommendations and limitations around the implantation period. To our knowledge, bone and joint infections related to an infected IUD have not been described in the scientific literature. This paper reports on a case of the repeated infection of a total hip prosthesis related to an infected IUD that had been forgotten after being implanted 34years previously. The arthroplasty infection revealed itself through dislocation of a dual mobility cup. Commensal bacteria that colonize the female genital tract (Streptococcus agalactiae) were identified at the site of hip arthroplasty. This led to the discovery of the IUD that was infected by the same bacterium. Despite lavage of the non-loosened arthroplasty, removal of the IUD and 2months of antibiotic treatment, the dislocation recurred and the prosthesis was again infected with the same microorganism 4months later. This recurrence of the infection, with persistence of a uterine abscess containing the same bacterium, was treated with repeated lavage of the joint, total hysterectomy and antibiotics treatment. The infection had resolved when followed-up 3years later. The occurrence of a bone and joint infection with this type of bacterium should trigger the evaluation of a possible IUD infection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The introduction of a new knee arthroplasty model, even if it differs from a validated implant by only a few details, should be followed by rigorous assessment. The Optetrak™ cemented posterior stabilized knee prosthesis evolved from the Insall prosthesis with a smaller tibial keel associated with a higher tibial cam and increased femorotibial congruency as well as a more posterior-stabilized trochlea. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that this implant with only minor modifications to the Insall prosthesis would provide as favorable results as the Insall prosthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A continuous series of 110 prostheses (106 patients) implanted between 2005 and 2007 was retrospectively analyzed with a mean follow-up of 25 months (range, 12-42 months) by an independent observer. The follow-up was based on the IKS score and the radiological assessment was conducted by three senior surgeons. RESULTS The mean IKS score was 83.7 (range, 13-100) points at the last follow-up, the mean function score was 82.6 (range, 30-100 points), and mean flexion was 120° (range, 80-140°). Seventeen patients (15%) were disappointed or dissatisfied, 25 knees (22%) were painful, requiring regular painkillers. The prostheses had a satisfactory mechanical axis, with a mean HKA angle of 177.4 ± 4°, but 25 prostheses (22%) presented rims evolving toward tibial implant loosening, and 24 (21%) developed signs of patellofemoral conflict. With follow-up less than 5 years, nine cases were revised for tibial loosening, three for patellofemoral instability, and one for patellofemoral pain. The cases of tibial loosening were particular because they occurred at the cement-tibial-implant interface. The cumulated survival rate at 36 months was 80.97 ± 9.1% and 76.74 ± 12% at 45 months. DISCUSSION This tibial implant with a small keel does not resist the stresses applied by posterior stabilization, with notably a higher level of stress than the Insall prosthesis from which it was derived. In cases of centering defect, the design of the trochlea can lead to impingement between the edges of the patella and the prominent edges of the prosthetic trochlea. We have suspended implantation of this prosthesis and continue to monitor the progression of patients having received these implants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, retrospective study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Femoral stem revision with a locked stem after total hip arthroplasties treats severe bone defects by favoring spontaneous bone reconstruction. Initially, once reconstruction was obtained, the temporary implant was to be replaced by a standard primary component. The use of locked stems has increased, but repeat revision with a short stem which is also called "de-escalation" has not been extensively studied. HYPOTHESIS Repeat revision of a locked stem with a short stem is not associated with any specific morbidity and does not affect the quality of reconstruction obtained, or fixation of the subsequent standard length primary design stem. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifteen patients whose locked femoral stem was exchanged due to thigh pain and/or radiographic images showing failed osteointegration were analyzed. These 15 patients were all followed-up and evaluated by the Postel Merle d'Aubigné score. Progression of bone defects was evaluated using the Hofmann cortical index. RESULTS There were no difficulties extracting the locked stem and a standard length primary stem was inserted with no associated procedures or bone complications in any of the cases. At a mean follow-up of 55 months (36-84months), thigh pain had disappeared and the Postel Merle d'Aubigné score had increased from 12.6±2.9 (7-16) to 16.5±0.9 (15-18) (P=0.0001). The use of a locked femoral stem resulted in bone reconstruction in all cases, the Hofmann index increased from 30.5%±17.9% (12-71%) before insertion of the locked stem to 43.6%±25.6% (19-90%) at exchange (P<0.05). Bone reconstruction was durable after the exchange with a stable Hofmann index 43.7%±26.2% (17-92%) at the final follow-up (P=0.9). No recurrent loosening occurred. DISCUSSION Revision of a loosened locked femoral stem with a standard design primary stem does not result in any specific increased morbidity, or modify bone reconstruction obtained with the locked stem and results in stable fixation of a new standard length stem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral offset is difficult to precisely evaluate with conventional X-ray techniques. Femoral offset characterizes the balance between body weight and the resistance provided by the abductor muscles. Total hip arthroplasties should respect this balance. HYPOTHESIS Computed tomodensitometry (CT-scan) is more accurate than conventional X-ray to evaluate femoral offset. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients who received unilateral total hip arthroplasties were prospectively included in the study. Femoral offset was measured by three-dimensional CT-scan reconstruction using the "Hip Plan" (Symbios) software. Offset was also determined with conventional X-ray and results were compared. This software can be used to measure leg length by frontal telemetry. It was developed for preoperative-planning of cementless femoral stem implants with modular necks of various lengths and angles. All pre- and postoperative measurements were made according to the same protocol. RESULTS Femoral offset values in this study were very similar to anatomical values found in the literature. They were significantly higher than values obtained by conventional X-ray by an average of 8%. Implantation of hip replacements resulted in a significant increase in offset (1.88+/-4.71 mm) with a slight variation in leg length. Pre- and postoperative leg length increased slightly in the operated leg by an average of 1.66+/-5.63 mm. Seventeen percent of these femurs had high offset associated with small or average sized proximal medullary canals. This preoperative planning software made it possible to identify these difficulties and to adapt implant components using modular long 8 degrees varus necks to restore high offset. In most of these cases, only small femoral stems could be implanted because of the small size of the intramedullary femoral canal. These individual differences were identified with 3D CT-scan reconstruction and included in the preoperative planning. Moreover, leg length could also be evaluated with this method and included in the preplanning. DISCUSSION Compared to conventional X-ray, measurements obtained with this preoperative planning method using 3D CT-scan reconstruction are easy to obtain and not dependent upon test conditions because the frame is placed on the femoral axis. Measurements are not influenced by position inconsistencies or if the hip is fixed in external rotation. The significant number of cases with above average offset confirms the importance of obtaining these measurements and the necessity of adapting the strategy in these cases by using lateralized stems, or, as in our series, modular necks to adjust femoral offset and neck angle.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In valgus knees, ligament balance might remain a challenge at total knee prostheses implantation; this leads some authors to systematically propose the use of constrained devices (constrained condylar knee or hinge types...). It is possible to adapt the selected level of constraints, by reserving higher constraints to cases where it is not possible to obtain final satisfactory balance: less than 5 degrees of residual frontal laxity in extension in each compartment, and a tibiofemoral gap difference not in excess to 3 mm between flexion and extension. HYPOTHESIS It is possible to establish preoperative criteria that can predict a constrained design prosthetic implantation at surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A consecutive series of 93 total knee prostheses, implanted to treat a valgus deformity of more than 5 degrees was retrospectively analysed. Preoperatively, full weight bearing long axis AP views A-P were performed: hip knee angle (HKA) averaged 195 degrees (186 degrees to 226 degrees), 36 knees had more than 15 degrees of valgus, and 19 others more than 20 degrees of valgus. Laxity was measured by stress radiographies with a Telos system at 100 N. Fifty-two knees had preoperative laxity in the coronal plane of more than 10 degrees. Fourteen knees had more than 5 degrees laxity on the convex (medial) side, 21 knees had more than 10 degrees laxity on the concave (lateral) side. Statistical assessment, using univariate analysis, identified the factors that led, at surgery, to an elevated constraint selection level; these factors of independence were tested by multivariate analysis. Logistical regression permitted the classification of the said factors by their odds ratios (OR). RESULTS High-constraints prostheses (CCK type) numbered 26 out of 93 implantations; the other total knee prostheses were regular posterostabilized (PS) prostheses. Statistically, the preoperative factors that led to the choice of a constrained prosthesis were: (1) valgus severity as measured by HKA (PS=193 degrees, CCK=198 degrees), (2) increased posterior tibial slope (PS=4.8 degrees, CCK=6.5 degrees), (3) low patellar height (using Blackburne and Peel index PS=0.89, CCK=0.77), (4) severity of laxity in valgus (PS=2.3 degrees, CCK=4.3 degrees). Among all these factors, the only independent one was laxity in valgus (convex side laxity) (p=0.0008). OR analysis showed a two-fold increased probability of implanting an elevated constraints prosthesis for each one degree increment of laxity in valgus. DISCUSSION This study demonstrated that it was not the valgus angle severity but rather the convex medial side laxity that increased the frequency of constrained prostheses implantation. Other factors, as a low patellar height or an elevated posterior tibial slope, when associated, potentiate this possible prosthetic switch (to higher constraints) and should make surgeons aware, in these situations, of encountering difficulties when establishing ligament balance.

Abstract
Pre-operative computerised three-dimensional planning was carried out in 223 patients undergoing total hip replacement with a cementless acetabular component and a cementless modular-neck femoral stem. Components were chosen which best restored leg length and femoral offset. The post-operative restoration of the anatomy was assessed by CT and compared with the pre-operative plan. The component implanted was the same as that planned in 86% of the hips for the acetabular implant, 94% for the stem, and 93% for the neck-shaft angle. The rotational centre of the hip was restored with a mean accuracy of 0.73 mm (sd 3.5) craniocaudally and 1.2 mm (sd 2) laterally. Limb length was restored with a mean accuracy of 0.3 mm (sd 3.3) and femoral offset with a mean accuracy of 0.8 mm (sd 3.1). This method appears to offer high accuracy in hip reconstruction as the difficulties likely to be encountered when restoring the anatomy can be anticipated and solved pre-operatively by optimising the selection of implants. Modularity of the femoral neck helped to restore the femoral offset and limb length.

Abstract
New percutaneous filling techniques are beginning to be used in bone tumor pathology. The purpose of this study was to develop a reproducible model for testing new injectable bone substitutes. A closed cancellous bone defect was created in the distal femoral condyles of rabbit. Bone defect was filled by a percutaneous injection. Several situations were tested: spontaneous evolution of unfilled cavities, evolution of cavities filled either with a conventional orthopedic cement (PMMA), either with a mixed collagen-hydroxyapatite material, either with a biomaterial derived from the vegetal protein zein, either with a calcium phosphate cement brushite type. The new bone formation was quantified in the defect for each group in which several delays were tested. A bone defect of reproducible size was obtained consistently. A partial bone formation was observed in the unfilled group. The best bone formation rate was obtained in the phosphate cement group. This model showed the interest of injectable biomaterials and more precisely the interest of the phosphate calcium cements as brushite.

Abstract
Interventional radiology is beginning to be used in bone pathology. An injectable biomaterial Ethibloc*, composed of alcohol and a vegetal protein (zein), has been successfully used for percutaneous treatment of benign bone lesions. The reasons for this success remained unknown and needed to be understood. In this study, using a rabbit model, an evaluation was made of bone formation and tissue reaction during the first weeks after the injection of this biomaterial. Ethibloc* was injected percutaneously into bone defects in rabbit distal femurs. Three time intervals were studied: 2, 4 and 8 wks. The three control groups constituted unfilled, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and alcohol. Undecalcified bone technique was used for a qualitative analysis and histomorphometric evaluation. A low bone formation was found which was less than in the control groups (PMMA and unfilled). The "Ethibloc group" was characterized by an early inflammatory reaction. Good clinical results obtained with Ethibloc* probably arose, after an initial vascular thrombosis, from a secondary bone reaction and spontaneous osteogenesis obtained after the disappearance of vascular or hyperpression reaction.

Abstract
Hard cylinders (4.7 x 10 mm) of two kinds of beta-tricalcium phosphate-monocalcium phosphate monohydrate-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (beta-TCP-MCPM-CSH) cements with and without beta-TCP granules (500-1000 microns) were implanted into holes drilled in rabbit femoral condyles for up to 16 weeks. Empty cavities were used as control. Cement resorption and new bone formation in the cylinders were evaluated with contact microradiography and quantified through an automatic image analysis system. At 4 weeks, both kinds of cement cylinders were surrounded by new bone. At 8 weeks, except for beta-TCP granules, both cement cylinders were almost completely resorbed and replaced by bone tissue. At 16 weeks the bone in the cavities of both cements recovered a trabecular pattern, but only the bone trabeculae in the initial cavity of the cement with beta-TCP granules became thick and mature. However, the cavities of the empty control were still empty and large. These results show that the beta-TCP-MCPM-CSH cements stimulate bone formation and are rapidly replaced by bone tissue. When added with nonresorbable beta-TCP granules, this cement maintains bone formation for a longer time.

Abstract
We studied retrospectively 90 Chiari osteotomies in 83 adults with pain, hip dysplasia and arthrosis. At follow-up after 6 (2-15) years, 35 hips were pain-free, 38 had rare or slight pain, and 17 had moderate or severe pain. The dysplastic acetabulum was corrected in all but 5 cases. There was diminution of arthrosis in 36 hips, no change in 38, and worsening in 16 hips. Functional outcome was best when surgery was performed before the age of 40, and in hips with the greatest degree of dysplasia. However, two thirds of the patients aged over 40 years at surgery had a good result.

Abstract
We reviewed radiographs and CT scans of 38 total hip arthroplasties which had dislocated (36 posteriorly; 2 anteriorly) and compared the alignment of the prosthetic components with those of 14 uncomplicated arthroplasties. No difference was found between the alignment of the prosthetic components in the two groups. In the seven patients who had reoperations, the cause of dislocation diagnosed by CT was confirmed in only two cases (one retroversion of the cup and one protruding osteophyte). Muscular imbalance rather than malposition of the components was the major factor determining dislocation. CT allows accurate measurement of cup and neck anteversion but contributes little to preoperative planning.

Abstract
In the 54 patients studied coronary arteriography alone showed stenosis of the left main coronary artery (a lesion observed in 5.2 p. 100 of pathological coronary arteriographies), associated with other coronary lesions, 72.2 p. 100 of which involved all three major vessels. Ventriculography was abnormal in 53 p. 100 of the cases, with a less than 45 p. 100 left ventricular ejection fraction in 37.4 p. 100 of them. Nine patients were considered inoperable; 4 of these died during a 40-month follow-up period under medical treatment. Forty-five patients underwent coronary bypass; there were 4 peri-operative deaths (8.9 p. 100), 8 post-operative myocardial infarctions (17.8 p. 100) and one late death (2.2 p. 100). These patients were followed up for a mean period of 26.4 months. All authors who have studied the subject agree that surgery is beneficial: not only does it improve cardiac function, but it also prolongs survival. In spite of the peri-operative risks, surgery must be contemplated in patients with a more than 50 p. 100 stenosis of the left main coronary artery, provided the cardiac vascular bed is accessible to revascularization.

Abstract
Takayashu's inflammatory panarteritis essentially results in stenotic lesions of the supra aortic axes and the collateral vessels of the abdominal aorta. Fusiform, segmental post-stenotic dilatation is commonly observed. Three particular types of aneurysms are described, each illustrated by a case report: --aneurysm of the ascending aorta causing severe aortic regurgitation by dilatation of the aortic ring: the diagnosis of Takayashu's disease was made in a young West Indian female on the evidence of associated aortic lesions and calcification of the descending thoracic aorta. The patient underwent replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement. This form is very rare, although mild aortic regurgitation in Takayashu's disease has been reported in about ten cases by different workers; --large saccular aortic aneurysm. This lesion of the descending thoracic aorta with parietal calcification and without intrasaccular thrombosis was associated with a long, irregular stenosis of the paroxismal segment of the aorta, giving rise to signs of coarctation, and with multiple stenoses of the supra-aortic axes in a 31 year old Algerian. Surgical cure was realised by occluding the orifice in order to avoid replacing the aorta at the origin of the main medullary arteries. An ascending aorta-abdominal aorta bypass was performed at the same time, together with correction of the stenoses of the supra-aortic vessels. A few similar cases of large succular aneurysms of the thoracic or abdominal aorta or of the large collateral vessels have previously been described; --pseudo-aneurysm due to arterial rupture and formation of a large hematoma. A 20 year old Algerian presented with a polylobulated saccular aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery in the femoral triangle. Several stenotic lesions typical of Takayashu's disease (including a particularly rare stenosis of the contra lateral superficial femoral artery) were associated. At surgery, the lesion was found to be a pseudo-aneurysm with no true arterial wall on histological examination. The role of an infective endarteritis is discussed and excluded. This type of lesion does not appear to have been previously reported. These three varieties of aneurysm were the presenting signs of Takayashu's disease in the cases reported.

Abstract
Alkalosis was used for stress testing for coronary artery spasm in 70 patients (average age: 56 years) with resting angina. A rapid intravenous infusion of an alkaline buffer (THAM) immediately followed by 5 minutes' maximal ventilation increased the arterial pH to 7.67 +/- 0.5. Anginal pain and ECG changes were observed in 24 Patients, with ST elevation in 10 cases and ST depression in 14 cases. The ischaemic changes occurred during hyperventilation in 16 cases and in the 3 minutes following the test in 8 cases. The heart rate increased from 66 +/- II to 71 +/- 14 bpm (p less than 0,01) but systolic blood pressure fell from 139 +/- 12 to 130 +/- 12 mm Hg during hyperventilation; there was no significant change in the rate-pressure product (1130 +/- 1750 to 8990 +/- 2690). In all cases, the angina and ischaemic changes regressed after intravenous Trinitrin. Coronary angiography was performed in 56 patients: in the 24 patients with positive responses (Group I) and in 30 of the 46 patients with negative responses (Group II). Significant coronary artery narrowing (greater than 70%) was observed in 21 patients of Group I: in the 3 patients without coronary lesions an intravenous injection of 0.4 mg methylergometrine provoked coronary spasm. In Group II, significant narrowing was demonstrated in 18 patients: in the 12 other patients, coronary spasm could not be induced by methylergometrine. Therefore, in the absence of organic coronary lesions, an excellent correlation has been shown between the alkalosis and methylergometrine tests. This stress test was repeated in 16 of the 24 patients in Group I one hour after administration of 20 mg of Nifedepine: the test was negative in all cases. We conclude that the alkalosis test could be useful in the coronary care unit as a stress test for coronary spasm to determine the antianginal treatment of choice and to evaluate its efficacity.

Abstract
Follow-up arteriograms carried out between one and six years (mean follow-up period two years) in 80 cases of aorto-coronary bypass graft procedures showed a good correlation between the quality of the clinical results obtained -- as detailed in the first part of this article -- and a larger proportion of patent grafts: 82% of 130 grafts had remained patent, and 94% of patients have all or some of their grafts patent. Late occlusion of the grafts is rare, and does not appear to be influenced by abnormalities of the graft found at early follow-up, these abnormalities being fairly stable. These follow-up have especially shown the good correlation between the quality of the clinical results and the functional status of the coronary network in the long term, a function not only of the permeability of the grafts which have been carried out, but also of the complete or incomplete correction of the lesions of the three coronary trunks. Such a complete procedure which was carried out or could have been carried out in only 30% of the total patients, was then successful in 94% undergoing it. The clinical results should therefore lead us to carry out operations which remove the lesions as completely as possible.

Abstract
Eighty patients undergoing one or several aorto-coronary bypass graft procedures had longterm clinical and arteriographic follow-up (mean follow-up period of two years, extremes 1 and 6 years). The indication fort operation in these patients was unstable angina in 39 (49%), threatened infarction in 16 (20%), Prinzmetal's angina in 8 (10%), and stable but incapacitating angina in 17 (21%). Significant lesions involved the three coronary trunks in 49 cases, two trunks in 25 cases, and one trunk in 6 cases. The longterm clinical results were excellent in 65% of cases, and fair in 26%; the procedure failed in 9% of cases. Angina pectoris either disappeared or improved in 96% of cases. After operation, myocardial infarctions occurred in 11 cases (14%), 7 of which were early and 4 late with a delay of 1 to 4 years. The pre-operative cardiac failure disappeared or decreased in 13 cases out of 16. Finally the quality of the clinical results does not seem to be influenced by the various indications for operation with the exception of Prinzmetal's angina, where the results have been excellent in all cases (8 cases out of 8).
