Pediatricians and general practitioners are involved in the newborn screening for developmental dysplasia of hip. They often rely on quality ultrasound (US) examination to make diagnostic therapeutic decisions. Therefore, professional must be able assess its quality. The aim our work is present a new system evaluate neonatal hip US effectiveness reproducibility this tool among professionals evaluation but not experts radiological US. In 15-min training session, 135 with limited or no...
A total of 38 relapsed congenital clubfeet (16 stiff, 22 partially correctable) underwent revision soft-tissue surgery, with or without a bony procedure, and transfer the tendon tibialis anterior at mean age 4.8 years (2.0 to 10.1). The was transferred third cuneiform in five cases, base metatarsal ten fourth 23. patients were reviewed follow-up 24.8 (10.8 35.6). 11 feet regarded as failures (one failure, subtalar fusion due over-correction, triple arthrodesis under-correction relapse). In...
Indications and techniques of locked plate fixation for the treatment challenging fractures continue to evolve. As design variant classic plates, polyaxial has ability alter screw angle thereby, enhance fracture fixation. The aim this observational study was evaluate clinical radiographic results in 89 patients with 90 distal femur treated, between June 2006 November 2011, such a plating system (Polyax™ Locked Plating System, DePuy, Warsaw, IN, USA). Seventy-seven formed report study. These...
Diméglio (DimS) and Pirani (PirS) scores are the most commonly used scoring systems for evaluation of clubfoot, with many centres performing both. Interobserver reliability their global score has been rated high in a few studies, but agreement subcomponents poorly investigated. The aim study was to assess interrater items clinical setting analyse overlapping features two scores.Fifty-six consecutive idiopathic clubfeet undergoing correction using Ponseti method were independently evaluated...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity residual elbow instability in children treated for posterior (PED) or postero-lateral (PLED) dislocation. This retrospective included all younger than 14 years age with a confirmed diagnosis acute post-traumatic dislocation (ED). Subjective data such as perceived pain, stiffness impact daily activities, objective skin lesions, surgical-site infections, range motion were recorded. All patients underwent milking test, chair...
Septic arthritis of the shoulder in children is a rare condition. The diagnosis may present some difficulties and, consequently, appropriate treatment often delayed. Main sequelae are humeral shortening, joint instability, premature and limited range motion. We report case septic child who was treated by means arthroscopy. A 6-year-old boy presented with history fever, pain functional impairment that were lasting despite having undergone antibiotic therapy for 28 days (amoxicillin per os,...
Abstract Background/Objectives Nail alterations are commonly seen in cases of idiopathic clubfoot and may cause parental concern. The nature whether these changes congenital or develop secondary to treatment has been poorly investigated. aim this study was evaluate toenail morphology patients at presentation, re‐evaluate them during the course for clubfoot, analyze findings light few literature reports healthy children same age. Methods Thirty infants (21 males 9 females) with were...
A mild delay in gross motor milestones and walking age has been reported infants with clubfoot. The influence of different treatments on development poorly investigated. Some parents physical therapists express concern that the Ponseti method (PM) its constraints (abduction brace, casts) would affect more than French therapy (FM) due to greater immobilization lesser stimulation.The purpose this study was evaluate achievement three (pull-to-standing, cruising independent walking) two groups...
Trigger finger is ten times less common than trigger thumb in infants and children and, unlike thumb, may arise from a variety of underlying causes. To our knowledge, we describe the first case pediatric secondary to an extraskeletal chondroma.We report 11-year-old girl presenting with typical history triggering fourth finger, whom nodule attached flexor digitorum superficialis was found; clinical, ultrasound, operative findings are described. Histological analysis diagnostic chondroma, also...
BACKGROUND Femoral fractures are common in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and represent a critical moment the natural history of disease. The immobilization required for fracture healing frequently leads to further weakening worsening (or definitive loss) functional abilities. Surgical treatment has been advocated ambulatory nonambulatory rapid mobilization as main goal; however, it exposes considerable anesthetic risk. CASE REPORT We present previously unreported experience...
