[Infection and detachment of total hip prosthesis due to listeria monocytogenes]. / Infection et descellement d'une prothèse totale de la hanche par listeria monocytogenes.

Joint prostheses are increasingly used in our current practice. Infection is one of the most dreaded complications; it is most often due to germs of the skin flora. Listeria monocytogenes rarely causes this infection. We here report the case of a patient with hip prosthesis infected by this germ. Favorable outcome was obtained by antibiotic therapy and single-stage prosthesis replacement.

[Hip arthroscopy in patients with femoroacetabular impingement: about 2 cases]. / L'arthroscopie de la hanche dans le conflit fémoro-acétabulaire: à propos de 2 observations.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can causes hip pain in young subjects and in athletes. His diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological examinations. Surgical treatment is based on conventional surgery or on arthroscopy. Arthroscopy proves to be a reliable technique in the treatment of FAI. It is effective on the pain and improves performances of athletes in order to enable them to resume their activities within a very short space of time. We here report our experience within our Department in treating 2 patients with FAI with arthroscopy. Modified Harris score significantly improved at the last follow-up (24 and 18 months).
