Abstract Purpose Early onset scoliosis (EOS) has traditionally been an indication for MRI because of its association with neural axis abnormalities (NAAs). Because these are often clinically silent and concerns regarding sedation in young children growing, routine EOS is debated. This study investigates the current practices screening among surgeons Pediatric Spine Study Group (PSSG). Methods A survey assessing was distributed to PSSG. The presented scenarios that varied age, curve size,...
Evidence supports the role of palmar cooling to improve exercise performance, especially with endurance and resistance activities. The aim this randomized placebo-controlled trial was explore effects on repeated sprinting performance recovery. Fifteen graduate students were randomly assigned either a intervention or placebo group (males: n = 8, females: 7; Avg. age: 24.06 yrs.) After ten-minute warm-up, participants completed ten sixty-meter sprints that included two 180-degree changes...
Retrospective review of prospectively collected data.
ABSTRACT Accurate assessment of femoral version is essential to the surgical treatment lower extremity deformities, yet ideal modality and technique measure controversial. This study explored two hypotheses: First, there no difference in accuracy measurement from 2D CT, MRI, 3D biplanar radiography reconstructions compared a model created CT. Second, between measured traditional axial sections proximal femur neck oblique for CT MRI. Eight adult cadaver extremities underwent radiography....
Background: Screw malpositioning is an identifiable cause of intraoperative neurophysiologic changes. Although triggered screw electromyography (t-EMG) has been found to exhibit high sensitivity for identifying malpositioned screws, no previous study assessed the utility combining t-EMG with robotic-assisted pedicle placement screws. We sought evaluate used in combination screws patients adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods: Patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion fixation AIS...
Septic arthritis of the hip (SAH) is a common condition encountered by pediatric orthopaedic surgeons and treated with arthrotomy irrigation. Depending on response to initial treatment, some patients require surgical treatment beyond index procedure. The purpose this study was investigate risk factors for repeat intervention after presumed SAH.A multicenter retrospective review all children who underwent SAH over ten-year period conducted. Variables queried included demographics, clinical...
Background: Surgeons have hesitated to use steroids in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion because of the risk wound complications. The literature has supported postoperative other areas orthopaedics on basis more rapid recovery and improved pain control. We hypothesized that a short course dexamethasone following for treatment adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) would decrease opioid usage without increasing wound-healing problems. Methods: Consecutive AIS from 2015 2018 at single...
Orthotic treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a mainstay in nonoperative to prevent progressive spinal deformity.To determine the effectiveness of Providence orthosis scoliosis.Retrospective review.Patients treated with were reviewed. Inclusion criteria included following: age 10-18 years; curve magnitude 25°-40°; Risser stage 0-2; and, if female, <1 year post menarche at time brace initiation. Failure was defined as magnitudes progressing >5° or >45° surgery. Radiographs and...
Facial landmark detection, a crucial aspect of face recognition, is widely used in various fields, such as facial surgeries, biometrics, and surveillance systems. With the advancement affordable capable 3D scanning technologies, research on automatically detecting landmarks models gaining momentum. Utilizing geometric properties models, researchers have developed algorithms for with varying levels accuracy. In this study, we reviewed existing literature thirty-eight using statistical...
The radial nerve is at risk during the posterior plating of humerus. purpose this anatomic study was to assess extent dissection required for anterior transposition through fracture site (transfracture transposition).A cadaver conducted approaching humerus by a midline incision. necessary plate fixation measured. An osteotomy created model humeral shaft spiral groove (OTA classification 12-A2, 12-A3). then transposed site. additional and release soft tissue from achieve were measured.Plating...
Open reduction and internal fixation with a tension band construct is the standard treatment for displaced transverse intra-articular olecranon fractures. The purpose of this study to describe outcomes fractures in children, specifically assessing need revision hardware removal.Patients less than 18 years age diagnosed fracture treated between 2008 2017 were retrospectively enrolled. Operative was wire (TBW) or suture (TBS) constructs.A total 46 patients, 36 male ten female mean 12.3 (6 17),...
Obesity rates continue to rise among children and adolescents across the globe. A multicenter research consortium composed of institutions in Southern US, located states endemic for childhood obesity, was formed evaluate effect obesity on pediatric musculoskeletal disorders. This study evaluates body mass index (BMI) percentile socioeconomic status (SES) surgical site infections (SSIs) perioperative complications patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) treated posterior spinal...
Previous studies have demonstrated decreased hospital length of stay (LOS) for children undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).Hospitalization event data from the Kids Inpatient Database were queried all PSF events AIS performed in 2009, 2012, and 2016 using diagnosis surgical codes. Data subdivided into two groups: pre-enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) (2009 2012) post-ERAS (2016). The primary outcome variables LOS total treatment charge...
This trauma quiz represents an interactive session where POSNA members are able to work through 9 clinical scenarios challenge how they would address these problems. Associated with each scenario is OITE-style question and multiple choice options that seek the most preferred answer from clinician. In addition follow-up radiographs, we have enlisted opinions of some experts in provide evidenced-based approach thinking problem.
