    Notes: Until recently, the most appropriate technique of intubating a patient with a cervical spine injury has been the subject of debate. Tracheal intubation by means of the intubating laryngeal mask (Fastrach™), a modified conventional laryngeal mask airway, seems to require less neck manipulation. The aim of this study was to compare the excursion of the upper cervical spine during tracheal intubation using direct laryngoscopy with that during intubation via the laryngeal mask (Fastrach™), by examination of lateral cervical spine radiographs in healthy young patients. The intubating laryngeal mask (Fastrach™) caused less extension (at C1−2 and C2−3) than intubation by direct laryngoscopy. Direct laryngoscopy is still the fastest method to secure an airway provided no intubating difficulties are present. However, in trauma patients requiring rapid sequence induction and in whom cervical spine movement is limited or undesirable, the intubating laryngeal mask (Fastrach™) is a safe and fast method by which to secure the airway.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé. Trente quatre patients, après avoir été operés selon la méthode de Max Lange (imbrication du tendon souscapulaire et greffe d’un bloc osseux au niveau antéro-inférieur de la glène) ont été suivi pendant une durée moyenne de 14,4 ans. Le score de Rowe révela que les résultats ont été positifs et excellents à 87% (quatre vingt sept pour cent). La rotation externe et l’abduction ont été assez limitées (p 〈0,05) par rapport à l’épaule non operée. Une radiographie révela chez 47% (quarante sept pour cent) des patiens une arthrose de l’épaule concernée. La tomographie par ordinateur à double contrastes (n = 18) a révelé chez 12 (douze) patients un défect antéro-inférieur de la tête humérale et chez ces mêmes patients une rotation externe limitée en comparaison avec les patients ne présentant pas la même anomalie osseuse (p = 0,04). On suppose qu’une latéralisation du tendon souscapulaire avec limitation de la rotation externe entraine une augmentation de la force de contact et de frottement sur le bord antérieur de la glène par laquelle est favorisée l’arthrose de l’épaule.
    Notes: Summary. Thirty-four patients were followed for a mean of 14.4 years after the Max Lange operation for instability of the shoulder. This procedure consists of an anterior capsulorraphy with lateralisation of the subscapularis tendon and the insertion of a bone block at the inferior and anterior part of the glenoid. The Rowe score showed 87% good and excellent results. External rotation and abduction were significantly limited as compared to the normal side. Radiographs revealed osteoarthrosis in 47%. Double contrast computed tomography in 18 cases showed a bony defect in the anterior and inferior part of the humeral head in 12 who had significantly limited external rotation as compared to those without the defect. Lateralisation of the subscapularis tendon with limitation of external rotation may lead to increased contact stress and shear forces at the anterior rim of the glenoid which contributes to the development of osteoarthrosis.
