Favoured by changes in pelvic and spinal position, this hernia is uncommon in women and exceptional in men. Revealed by strangulation, it is in one third to one quarter of cases, unrecognised before operation, often due to failure to recognise the cause of crural neuralgia in a patient with acute intestinal obstruction. Even when the diagnosis is made, laparotomy is the best approach. It makes intestinal resection easier, this is necessary in 50% of cases, and above all, it is easier to cure the hernia for which the authors propose the use of the round ligament folded on itself and fixed to the borders of the hernial orifice. Delay in treatment explains the high mortality in this rare hernia.

Ten clinically healthy female camels, 6-9 years old, were used in this study. Two camels were euthanized, preserved with 10% formalin solution and used to determine the appropriate site/sites for puncturing the joints. In addition, barium sulfate was intraarticularly injected for contrast radiography to determine the joint capsule outlines. Joints of the forelimbs were aseptically punctured in the remaining eight camels. In general, puncturing of the interphalangeal, fetlock, intercarpal, and radiocarpal joints was very easy (grade 1) compared to the puncturing of the shoulder and elbow joints (grade 2). The approaches and puncture techniques were established for each joint as well as for contrast radiography, and are described in detail. The approaches for camels are somewhat different from those for horses and cattle. In conclusion, puncturing and contrast arthrography of the forelimb joints could be performed in adult dromedary camels and could be of clinical relevance in the diagnosis and treatment of some joint disorders.

This work showed numerous branches of the radial, ulnar and median nerves were supplied the dorsal and palmer aspects of the metacarpus and the axial and abaxial surfaces of the third and fourth digits. Material and Methods: Ten distal forelimb from slaughtered adult of one-humped camels of both sexes and different ages, 4-6 years were used in this study. The forelimbs were preserved in 10% formalin about one week, then the skin was removed, the nerves gently rubbed with a gauze pieces immersed in 1% glacial acetic acid to remove the tissue surrounding the nerves of the distal forelimb. Results: This study has shown the numerous branches of the radial nerve supplied the skin of the dorsal surface of the metacarpus and the abaxial aspect of the third digit. While the ulnar nerve gave many branches along its extension to the skin of th...

Intra-articular (IA) injection is frequently used in veterinary practice for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes of joint injuries. Thus, the current study aimed to describe the injection of the hindlimb joints in dromedary camels based on the anatomical and arthrographic-guided landmarks. Materials and Methods: Eighteen orthopedically sound adult camels (mean±standard deviation age: 78±12 months) of both sexes were included in this study. Three camels were euthanized to identify anatomical features in the hindlimb joints and related structures. IA injections were performed in the hindlimbs of 5 camel cadavers to evaluate the optimal IA injection site, which was confirmed by arthrography. The optimized IA injection technique was applied in 10 live camels and confirmed by arthrocentesis and arthrography. For each joint, injection criteria (number of attempts, difficulty of injecti...
