Record 2 2005-09-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthopedic Surgery
CONT

One group is treated with a primary total hip arthroplasty(Exeterprosthesis) for dislocated femoral neck fracture and compared to a matched group of patients treated with a secondary total hip arthroplasty(Exeterprosthesis) for healing complications(pseudarthrosis or avascular necrosis) after dislocated femoral neck fracture.

CONT

Primary total hip replacement (THR) is most commonly used for hip joint failure caused by osteoarthritis; other indications include, but are not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, certain hip fractures, benign and malignant bone tumors ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie orthopédique
DEF

Intervention chirurgicale consistant à refaire l'articulation de la hanche en remplaçant la tête fémorale et le cotyle.

CONT

Un certain nombre de chirurgiens disent qu'ils n'ont pratiquement jamais de luxation après mise en place d'une prothèse totale de hanche.

CONT

Depuis 1994-1995, on note que le taux de pontage coronarien augmente et que les taux d'interventions pour remplacement total de la hanche, autres arthroplasties de la hanche et remplacement total du genou sont demeurés relativement constants dans le temps.

Record 3 2000-09-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthopedic Surgery
CONT

The results using the anterior sliding graft technique with rigid internal fixation for tibiotalar arthrodesis were reviewed. The indications fo anterior sliding graft technique included posttraumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, pseudarthrosis prior attempt at arthrodesis, and postinfectious arthrosis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie orthopédique
CONT

Position à donner au pied dans l'arthrodèse tibio-tarsienne.

Record 4 1998-05-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bones and Joints
DEF

Failure of the ends of a fractured bone to unite.

OBS

The term pseudarthrosis is often used synonymously with the term nonunion. A more limited and perhaps more accurate usage would limit use of the term pseudarthrosis to a variant of nonunion in which there is formation of dense scar tissue and a false joint with serum loculated in the cicatricial mass, the synovial pseudarthrosis. [From OTSUR, 1986, p. 80 and FRATH, 1980, p. 90. ]

French

Domaine(s)
  • Os et articulations
DEF

Absence complète et définitive de consolidation d'une fracture.

OBS

La distinction qui existe entre les termes anglais «nonunion» et «pseudarthrosis» ne se retrouve pas dans les textes français. Il serait probablement préférable de parler plutôt d'absence de consolidation (comme équivalent au terme générique anglais «nonunion») et de n'utiliser le terme pseudarthrose que lorsqu'il y a constitution d'une fausse articulation avec cavité liquidienne (pseudarthrose fibro-synoviale).

Record 5 1998-05-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bones and Joints
CONT

The pseudarthrosis site was treated with compression in all cases.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Os et articulations
CONT

Malgré une ostéosynthèse parfaite par plaque ou clou il arrivait que compte tenu de la médiocre situation biologique la fusion ne se fasse pas. Dans ces cas où le matériel se cassait au bout de quelques mois, je suis arrivée à la conclusion qu'il fallait que la plaque fonte le foyer de pseudarthrose [...]

Record 6 1996-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vertebrae and Bone Marrow
DEF

The dens of the axis that does not fuse with and remains separated from the body of the axis.

CONT

Besides inflammatory arthritis and trauma, atlanto-axial instability can also be present in congenital anomalies such as os odontoideum in patients with Down’s, Morquio’s, or Klippel Feil syndromes.

CONT

We performed five transfers of the ipsilateral fibula in the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. In all cases, conventional treatment by intramedullary-rod and autogenous-iliac bone grafting had failed at least once. We hoped to avoid the use of contralateralfibular grafting or other methods that have not yet been proven effective. The ipsilateral fibula was transferred, and its vascular pedicle left intact and secured to both fragments of the tibial pseudarthrosis by cerclage wires. All five transfers have united and hypertrophied with growth. We believe this salvage method is superior to others not only because of the successful results, but also because the intact limb is left undisturbed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vertèbres et moelle
CONT

L'anomalie la plus fréquente est la pseudarthrose congénitale ou os odontoïde. C'est un ossicule rond ou ovale, bordé d'une ligne dense continue, séparée de la base de l'axis. Il se situe au niveau de l'odontoïde mais peut être plus haut situé, voire même fusionné avec le clivus. Chez l'enfant, il doit être différencié par les clichés dynamiques d'un défaut de fusion physiologique avant 12 ans.
