Recurrent intra-cardiac thrombosis: A rare manifestation of Behçet's disease.

Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent bipolar aphtosis and ophthalmic disorders. Cardiac involvement is rarely reported and could be associated to poor prognosis. Intracardiac thrombosis is exceptional and represents a therapeutic issue. We report the case of a young man admitted in internal medicine department for management of prolonged fever and recurrent mouth ulcers.

[Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using Mac Intosh technique modified by Jaeger: a retrospective study of 80 cases in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the Habib Bourguiba University Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia]. / Reconstruction du ligament croisé antérieur selon la technique de Mac Intosh modifiée par Jaeger: étude rétrospective de 80 cas au service d'orthopédie et traumatologie CHU Habib Bourguiba, Sfax, Tunisie.

Recent studies about anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery have focused on a better control of rotational stability, but ACL reconstruction is always a topical issue. The purpose of our study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes after the use of the technique for anatomical reconstruction of the ACL with fascia lata, according to Macintosh technique modified by J.H Jaeger. We conducted a study of a continuous series of 80 patients between 2005 and 2019. All patients were assessed according to the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score and the Lysholm and Tegner scale. All our patients were rated as excellent with an average score of 92. Occasional lateral residual pain was reported by 8 patients. Residual jerk accounted for 2.5%. Radiological examination did not show ballooning or arthrosis at the last follow-up. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a common procedure that has become more reliable over time. But pivot shift (Jerk test) requires a lateral tenodesis "external rotation", especially in athletes.
