Implantable intramedullary nail lengthening devices (e.g., PRECICE 2 system) have been proposed as alternative method to external fixation for lower limb surgery. The aim of this study was analyse our outcomes and complications using the (P2) system review them in light existing literature. A retrospective multicentre conducted on patients <18 years, who were treated P2 system. inclusion criteria a length discrepancy ≥ 30 mm follow-up ≥6 months after end treatment. total 26 (15 males)...
Purpose Biodegradable implants are of major interest in orthopaedics, especially the skeletally immature population. Magnesium (Mg) promising for selected surgical procedure adults, but evidence is lacking. Thus, aim this study to analyze safety and efficacy resorbable Mg screw different orthopaedic procedures patients. In addition, we present a systematic review current literature on clinical use implants. Methods From 2018 until writing manuscript, consecutive involving screws performed at...
Clavicle fractures are common, accounting for 2.6 to 10% of all fractures.Treatment these is usually non-surgical.Recent evidence, however, reveals that the final result non-surgically midshaft clavicular fractures, particularly those with quite large displacements or shortening, not like which was previously thought.This study evaluated retrospectively patients presented a clavicle fracture at Emergency Department our Institution, between January 2006 and December 2011.Fractures were...
Background: Displaced medial epicondyle fractures are treated with open reduction and internal fixation K-wires or screws. Rates of implant prominence, failure, non-union reported considerable. Magnesium screws have demonstrated biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, high pull-out strength. The aim this study was to compare surgical fracture using resorbable magnesium Herbert K-wires, in skeletally immature patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis performed from January 2015 April 2020....
There are multiple forms of enchondromatosis with Ollier’s and Maffucci’s being the most prevalent types. Limb length discrepancy is a common problem in patients enchondromatosis. reports about lengthening bones using external fixators. However, there no case series regarding use implantable technology. The purpose this paper to describe our experience nail A retrospective chart radiographic review who underwent limb was performed. Seven 14 bony segments were reviewed. total 11/14...
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are rare benign cystic tumors, generally diagnosed in children and adolescents. Proximal femoral ABCs may require specific treatment strategies because of an increased pathologic fracture risk. As few reports published on ABCs, specifically for this localization, consensus regarding optimal is lacking. We present a large retrospective study the pediatric proximal ABCs.All eligible patients with ABC were included, from 11 tertiary referral centers musculo-skeletal...
We report what is, to the best of our knowledge, first case pediatric trans-olecranon fracture dislocation elbow associated with a radial head and medial collateral ligament disruption.A 7-year-old girl presented emergency department after fell on his right while playful activity at home. The X-ray showed acute fracture. A pre-operative 3D TC scans confirmed clarified injury pattern. However, stress radiographs performed in operating room under anesthesia revealed an severe valgus...
Children displaced distal radius fractures (DRFs) are commonly treated by reduction. Yet, their excellent remodeling ability provides good clinical-radiographic outcomes even in case of non-anatomical The reduction under analgesia or sedation involves hospitalizations, greater risks, and higher hospital costs. aim this preliminary study is to demonstrate the accountability conveniency reduction.The involved all 0-8 years-old children who were affected a closed overriding DRF from February...
Background. Medial epicondyle fracture (MEF) is a common injury of all elbow fractures in the pediatric and adolescent population often associated with dislocation. Traditional management by cast immobilization increasingly being replaced early open reduction K-wires or screws fixation. A consensus about correct treatment MEF currently lacking medical literature. The aim this study was to report clinical radiographic outcomes complications patients affected from intra-articular fragment...
Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate the ability elastosonography (USE) in identification different grades muscular injuries, comparing its effectiveness with traditional ultrasound (US) survey and by relating results clinical classification pain. Methods In period between August 2014 May 2016, we conducted a prospective cohort on population 34 young male professional athletes belonging same under-17 football club (Ancona 1905). Injuries were recorded according location,...
The rate of recurrence surgically early treated clubfoot is around 25% and the treatment remains debated. aim study to report a case series 15 patients (16 feet) for relapse clubfoot.A careful clinical radiological evaluation each deformity was made. algorithm based on pathological anatomy relapse, patient's age use combination surgical steps involving bones, soft tissue or both.The average at time 8 years 6 months, with an follow-up 2 years. Avatar score 77 (good result). 16 feet submitted...
Background Galeazzi's fracture-dislocation (GFD) is a rare and complex injury consisting of radial fracture associated with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation. Case Description We are presenting case boy, who at the onset showed an open GFD his assessment after 1-year follow-up. As treatment, closed reduction long-arm cast were performed. At last follow-up, patient presented complete recovery range motion function affected wrist. Literature Review To best our knowledge, in current...
