[Breast reconstruction with a free DIEP flap complicated by spontaneous rupture of internal mammary artery]. / Reconstruction mammaire en terrain irradié par lambeau libre DIEP compliqué d'une rupture spontanée de l'artère mammaire interne : à propos d'un cas.

Breast reconstruction with a free Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap (DIEP flap) is now well established and provides excellent aesthetic results. Nevertheless, preoperative radiotherapy can damage the recipient vascular axes. We report a case of a grave and undocumented spontaneous rupture of the internal mammary artery related to the use of irradiated arterial vessels.

[Aneurysmal carpal scaphoid cyst. A case report]. / Kyste anévrismal du scaphoïde carpien. A propos d'un cas clinique.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare, benign bone tumor and its location in the carpal scaphoid has never been described in the literature. We report a clinical case illustrating this location.

[Aneurysmal bone cyst of the second metacarpal: technique of conservation of the metacarpophalangeal joint and short-term result. A case report]. / Kyste anévrismal du deuxième métacarpien: technique de conservation de l'articulation métacarpophalangienne et résultat à court terme. A propos d'un cas.

The authors report an aneurismal bone cyst in the second metacarpal of a 16-year-old patient. It was an aneurismal bone cyst of the agressive diffuse variety involving the proximal metaphyseal, diaphyseal and distal epiphyseal zones. Conservation of the MCP joint of the index was the priority. The authors report the technique used as well as the clinical and radiological results.

[Progressive correction of an ulnar clubhand secondary to post-traumatic epiphysiodesis of the distal ulna]. / Correction progressive d'une main bote ulnaire après épiphysiodèse ulnaire distale post-traumatique.

The authors report the correction of an ulnar club-hand in a 16 year-old boy who complained of recurrent wrist pain after a fracture of both bones of his left forearm treated by internal fixation at the age of nine years. Correction was achieved by progressive ulnar lengthening, using Ilizarov's method, without radius osteotomy or bone grafting. Union was achieved 2 months post-operatively. Functional outcome and cosmetic appearance were satisfying.
