In order to improve patient care from prenatal to adult, the MAMUTH FHU relies on teams with complementary expertise who share a common interest in neuromuscular and skeletal diseases<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Jean-Marie Jouannic is head of the foetal medicine department at Trousseau Hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pioneer in France in the technique of in utero repair of myelomeningocele (PRIUM programme) with the neurosurgery team at Necker Hospital, he and his team are responsible for the ante-natal management of vertebral and spinal cord malformations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He initiated a research programme on a myelomeningocele model, with the aim of miniaturising techniques for repairing this malformation in utero. He is also involved in training students and healthcare professionals. He is also a regular speaker at national and international gynaecology-obstetrics conferences and seminars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The CRMRC-Spin@ coordinating centre is located at the H\u00f4pital Trousseau in Paris (APHP, Sorbonne University). <\/strong>It provides care for prenatal, childhood and adolescent patients suffering from rare spinal column pathologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a member of the Centres of Reference for Rare Diseases (CRMR)<\/strong>, which are referral centres recognised for their expertise in the care of patients and their commitment to research and training. These centres have a regional, inter-regional, national or even international attraction, depending on the rarity of the disease, with the aim of ensuring equity in terms of access to diagnosis, treatment and overall patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CRMRs may be single-site (with a single site known as the “coordinating site”) or multi-site (comprising a “coordinating site” and one or more “constituent sites”).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The adult orthopaedic and trauma surgery department<\/a> is organised around 2 main areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 – Spinal pathology<\/strong>: spondylolisthesis, cervicarthrosic myelopathy, discopathy, herniated cervical and lumbar discs – Deformity: scoliosis and kyphosis – Primary vertebral tumours and bone metastases – Traumatology of the spine, pelvis and lower limbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 – Sports and lower limb surgery<\/strong>: Hip and knee osteoarthritis – Meniscus pathology – Cruciate ligament injury – Rotator cuff surgery and shoulder instability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
