Although multiple prospective comparative studies exist for adults with midshaft clavicle fractures, few in older children and adolescents. This study compares intermediate-term functional, pain, radiographic, complication outcomes adolescents fractures treated operatively or nonoperatively.Children who were 10 to 18 years of age from 2006 2017 identified through electronic picture archiving communication system (PACS) radiographic chart review. Closed injuries a minimum 1 year the time...
The size of talocalcaneal tarsal coalitions (TCCs) is one the main factors that thought to influence patient outcomes after resection. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) increasingly being used diagnose and characterize TCCs. However, there no reproducible MRI-based measurement TCC reported in literature. purpose this study was create a method reproducibly measure using MRI.Twenty-seven patients with TCCs diagnosed by hindfoot coronal proton density (PD) MRI between 2017 2020 were included....
An 11-year-old boy demonstrated chronic medial hindfoot pain. A 12-year-old experienced acute pain and swelling in his right ankle after a fall. This is the first report of sustentaculum tali fractures adjacent to talocalcaneal tarsal coalition, likely resulting from stress riser created by rigid subtalar joint.These 2 cases represent unique causes foot setting coalitions, never before described. Patient-reported outcome measures expected improved outcomes excision coalition. Awareness this...
Babywearing is the practice of using a swathe fabric or purpose-built carrier to hold an infant toddler close caregiver’s torso, for multiple hours day. The child’s legs are often positioned in “M” shape, with hips and knees flexed abducted. There increasing interest potential babywearing assist hip development, as position assumed most carriers similar achieved harnesses/braces used treatment developmental dysplasia (DDH). association between low incidence DDH populations (Southern China,...
Introduction: Given the relative rarity of tibial tubercle fractures and high proportion that undergo surgical treatment, there is little data on non-operative management these injuries. Some patients are initially treated non-surgically may ultimately require operative intervention. The purpose this study was to identify risk factors for failed fractures. Methods: This retrospective comparative included younger than 18 years underwent initial treatment a fracture at six tertiary children’s...
