La luxation sous talienne pure est une affection rare, les auteurs rapportent le cas d'un jeune patient ayant présenté suite à un accident de sport une luxation sous talienne interne pure, traité orthopédiquement avec un bon résultat fonctionnel.
We report the case of a 61-year old patient with no particular previous history who complained of pain with paraesthesias at the level of the anterolateral compartment of the left leg irradiating to the dorsal side of the ankle and the foot which lasted over six months. These pains were made worse by effort. Clinical examination showed partial sensitivity deficit and positive Tinel’s sign in the territory of the superficial peroneal nerve (A). Electromyography (EMG) confirmed peroneal nerve involvement with decreased amplitude of sensory potentials. X-ray ruled out the presence of an underlying osteo articular cause (B). Ultrasound objectified well-defined homogeneous tissue formation (C) while MRI showed fusiform mass centered on the nerve with contrast-enhanced T1-weighted hyposignal and T2-weighted hypersignal (D). Conservative surgical resection with sparing of nerve fascicles (E,F) and anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of benign schwannoma (G). At 1-month follow-up, symptoms had disappeared with sensitivity conservation in the territory of this nerve. The diagnosis of schwannoma is difficult due to the absence of swelling and because schwannoma may mimic entrapment neuropathy, as in the case of our patient. Schwannomas are resectable peripheral nerve tumors. Their prognosis is excellent after adapted surgical treatment with sparing of nerve fascicles.
Un patient de 24 ans a subit un traumatisme du genou droit suite à un accident de la voie publique occasionnant une fracture simultanée uni condylienne latérale et patellaire verticale. Cette association est exceptionnelle et aucun cas n'as été retrouvé dans la littérature. Un diagnostic précis clinique et radiologique suivi d'une prise en charge précoce et adaptée par une ostéosynthèse interne et une rééducation fonctionnelle ont permis d'obtenir de bons résultats à long terme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
