l.="l.ne-height:1.5;">Introduction: Leg fractures are the prerogative of violent trauma, which lead to pluritissular lesions, including the opening of the focus, thus worsening the prognosis. The indication of centromedullary nailing (CMN) is subject to time and trained team requirements. The aim of this work is to evaluate the results of CMN in emergency cases of open leg fractures in adults. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. It concerned adult patients with an open leg fracture treated by CMN in emergency at the Orthopedics-Traumatology Department of the Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital. During five years, 91 patients were registered. Their average age was 34.1 years with a sex ratio of 2.2. The average admission time was 1 hour 41 minutes. Cauchoix and Duparc type I open fractures predominated (64.8%). Antibiotic therapy was instituted as soon as the patient arrived. The functional results of osteosynthesis were evaluated according to the Lysholm score after an average follow-up of 48 months. Results: The majority of our patients (51.3%) were operated on between the 6th and 18th hour. After careful trimming of the open fracture, CMN was performed in all our patients. The average hospital stay was six days. The mean Lysholm score was 87.23 ± 11.06 with a satisfactory functional result in 81.3% of cases. Discussion:l.="font-famil

Introduc.ion: The treatment of viral hepatitis B is based on nucleotide analogs(s). In Burkina Faso, tenofovir is the most widely used because of its effectiveness and cost. The aim of this study was to describe viral hepatitis B under tenofovir in Ouagadougou. Material and Method: This was a longitudinal study, carried out in the outpatient department of the University Hospital of Tengandogo from May 1, 2013 to September 31, 2020, i.e. a period of seven (07) years and five (05) months. All patients with chronic hepatitis B virus who had been taking tenofovir for at least one year were included in the study. Cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and co-infections with hepatitis D, C and human immunodeficiency viruses were excluded from the study. Results: Of 321 patients with hepatitis B, 120 were on tenofovir and 34 were included in our study. These were 24 men and 10 women with an average age of 39 years. Hepatitis B was most often discovered following systematic or voluntary screening (44.1%) or pain in the right hypochondrium (23.5%). The mean initial viral load was 7.9 log. Ten patients had moderate compliance and four were non-compliant. No side effects were reported in 91.3% of cases. The virologic response was complete in 72.7% of patients after six months. Nine out of ten patients showed a biochemical response after 16 months. A histological response was observed in 19/27 patients within a mean of 26.7 months. HBs seroconversion was found in 2/24 patients. Conclusion: Tenofovir is effective in the treatment of viral hepatitis B, but HBs seroconversion is rarely achieved.
