Pediatric humeral lateral condyle fractures are the second most common elbow fractures. Their treatment presents challenges due to physeal and intra-articular involvement. Postoperative stiffness is a concern that can limit limb functionality. This study aims identify risk factors for postoperative in large cohort of these across multiple institutions.
Introduction: Lateral humeral condyle fractures account for 12% to 20% of all distal humerus in the pediatric population. When surgery is indicated, fixation may be achieved with either Kirschner-wires or screws. The literature comparing outcomes these 2 different methods currently limited. purpose this study compare both complication and union rates forms operative treatment a multicenter cohort children lateral fractures. Methods: This retrospective was performed across 6 institutions....
A multicenter retrospective study.The aim of this study was to compare pelvic obliquity correction and reoperation rate in neuromuscular scoliosis patients who had their pelvis included a posterior spinal fusion (pelvic fusion, PF) at index procedure versus revision procedures.There is limited information on outcomes specific fusing the for operation surgery.Charts radiographs were reviewed with PF from January 2003 August 2015 four high-volume pediatric spine centers >2 year follow-up.Two...
When orthopaedic surgeons begin or relocate their careers, they must communicate effectively about instrumentation and equipment needs. 'Preference Cards' 'Pick Lists' are generated by for individual at the time of hire can be updated over to reflect needs common cases. Currently, such decisions made without formal guidance preparation.
The health care industry creates tremendous amounts of waste and emissions, operating rooms are the single largest contributor. Single-use devices other disposable plastic products have become a mainstay in modern hospital culture, particularly United States high-income countries. creation disposal such items major impacts on environment disproportionately affect vulnerable populations globally. Waste is difficult term to define, its meaning varies depending cultural context associated...
Introduction: Lateral humeral condyle (LC) fractures are the second most common pediatric elbow fractures. Traditionally, displaced have been treated with open reduction although recent studies demonstrated successful outcomes of closed for similar injuries. This study investigates comparing and in a large cohort children moderately (Song classification types 1 to 4) lateral Methods: Retrospective data from patients aged between 12 years was collected 6 academic level trauma centers 2005...
Background: There are few reports on the surgical management of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS). Affected patients tend to have more rapid curve progression than those idiopathic EOS, and their course is further complicated by medical comorbidities. As techniques implants for growing spines become widely applied, this study seeks better delineate safety efficacy growth-friendly spinal instrumentation in treating population. Methods: A prospective registry...
Osteomyelitis of the patella is a rare disease primarily affecting pediatric population. Because it often presents with nonspecific symptoms, such as fever and pain, diagnosis treatment can be delayed. Prepatellar septic bursitis also in population; if left untreated progress to osteomyelitis. We present case prepatellar that progressed knee arthritis severe osteomyelitis 5-year-old male patient. This demonstrates importance further evaluation close follow up suspected patients consideration...
Surgical coaching is a form of mentoring that can improve surgical performance. While professional athletes have their entire career, other professions, such as medicine, law, and education, are expected to manage own improvement in performance over careers. Methods the pros cons patient safety will be presented.
Fractures involving the physes of distal forearm are exceedingly common in children, representing upwards 1/3 all pediatric fractures. These injuries often amenable to closed treatment, but physeal injury can lead premature arrest and significant related long-term sequela. Common practice guidelines have not been established amongst orthopaedic community for radiographic monitoring, need 3-dimensional imaging, treatment algorithms these injuries. This review seeks outline literature share...
