ABSTRACT
The concept of bilboquet, invented and used by Levon Dour¬sounian since 1995[1], is an osteosynthesis system, using a staple with a female Morse taper fixed in the humeral head, and an endomedullary stem with a Morse taper. evil that comes to fit with the cephalic staple. The tuberous synthesis can then be done on a bone-bone interface optimizing the chances of consolidation, key point of the recovery of the function.[2] We report a case of fracture of the superior end of the left humerus in a patient 51 year old victim of a fall from the stairs. The patient presented to the emergency department with an upper extremity traumatic attitude, the vasculo-nervous examination was normal. Radiography confirmed the diagnosis of a fracture with 4 fragments of the left shoulder operated with this device. This device simplifies the surgical repair of these fractures and avoids the use of the humeral prosthesis.
