[Oculo-orbital topometry studied by X-ray computed tomography in strabismic children].

Scanner examination of the oculo-orbital region of 20 squinting children shows, by mean of precise measures, in a first part abnormalities of orbital development (these abnormalities are always moderate). In a second part, this examination demonstrate asynergies of the horizontal oculomotor muscles, particularly an isolated hypermotricity of one medial ocular muscle in patent induction movements. Despite of irradiation of the crystalline lens this examination can be helpful in a preoperatory check-up.

[Imbalance of the postural system studied by light stimulation in children with strabismus].

The postural displacements on a statokinesimetric plateform of squint-eyed children during short monocular lighted stimulations show that their postural regulation is different from that of normal children of the same age. The provoked amplification of the displacements is larger, their direction is no more systematized but once adopted it remain stable. The orthoptic treatment associated with prismus lenses and postural reeducation often allows to double their postural performances.

[Madreporic, polarized total arthroplasties of the hip. Apropos of 2688 cases].

This paper reports an experience over ten years with cementless total hip arthroplasty in a series of 2688 personal cases commencing in 1975. Stress is laid on the results over a period greater than 5 years and up to 10 years as much on the long-term effects on the host bone as on the implant itself. The causes of failure of biological anchorage by endosteal osteogenesis are analysed. Various phenomena, particularly the reaction of the cortices to stress, several cases of bony resorption with debris due to wear and fatigue fractures of the stem of the prosthesis have been seen. These and the problems posed by the occasional need for extraction have led to the progressive development of the prosthesis, resulting in 1983 in a new type of anchorage with a polarised surface and a better-balanced prosthesis in relation to stress and extractability.
