Background: Thoracic anterior vertebral body tethering (TAVBT) is an emerging treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Tether breakage a known complication of TAVBT with incompletely incidence. We aim to define the incidence tether in patients scoliosis who undergo TAVBT. The hypothesized be high and increase time postoperatively. Methods: All right-sided, thoracic curves underwent at least 2 up 3 years radiographic follow-up were included. between vertebrae was defined priori as any...
Background: Anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) is an alternative to posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for the surgical treatment of scoliosis. The present study utilized a large, multicenter database and propensity matching compare outcomes AVBT PSF in patients with idiopathic Methods: Patients thoracic scoliosis who underwent minimum 2-year follow-up retrospectively 2 methods propensity-guided from registry. Radiographic, clinical, Scoliosis Research Society 22-Item Questionnaire (SRS-22)...
Fixation of lateral condyle distal humeral fractures has traditionally been achieved with K-wires. Screw fixation provides the advantage compression across fracture site, but results screw and risk iatrogenic physeal damage are not well defined. This study was designed to evaluate efficacy for fractures.A retrospective patients elbow treated using at a single institution undertaken. Patients 12 years younger isolated were included. Clinical notes examined residual symptoms, alignment, range...
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.
We performed a case-control study to determine whether occult bone disease is associated with history of frequent fractures in children.Healthy children > or = 2 incidences low-energy were recruited (n 68). Children no served as control subjects 57). Food logs, activity surveys, physical examinations, laboratory tests, and dual-energy radiographic absorptiometry used.Bone mineral density z scores significantly reduced case subjects, compared subjects. Three (4.3%) 1 subject (1.8%) had below...
Study Design. Retrospective review. Objective. To determine the correlation between Sanders Maturity Scale (SMS) and Risser stages, both systems menarche, whether can be used to predict SMS. Summary of Background Data. Predicting curve progression is critical understanding adolescent idiopathic scoliosis making treatment recommendations. The SMS a better predictor acceleration phase growth than stage. However, Scoliosis Research Society bracing criteria utilize stage menarche. Methods....
Recommendations for the initial treatment (nonoperative measures to surgical excision) of symptomatic tarsal coalitions vary. Because nonoperative outcomes are poorly established, we retrospectively evaluated their success in preventing surgery and achieving pain relief pediatric patients with coalitions. A retrospective study treated at a single institution was undertaken. Clinical notes were examined methods, response treatment, need additional procedures. statistical analysis performed...
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....
The location of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) tears has been well documented in the adult population, with most occurring at insertion on adductor tubercle. It is not clear whether a difference exists pediatric and adolescent populations. injury implications for treatment recommendations planning surgical approaches. purpose this study to determine MPFL differs among younger Our hypothesis that adolescents children predominantly tubercle.At our institution, we retrospectively...
Objective To describe the clinical features and outcome of functional thyroid tumours in dogs. Materials Methods Retrospective multi‐institutional study 70 dogs diagnosed with mass concurrent hyperthyroidism. Clinical data regarding presentation, treatment, status were retrieved. Results Overall median survival was 35.1 months 1‐ 3‐year rates 83 49%, respectively. Median time 72.6 for treated surgical excision 15.7 that did not receive surgery. Of 50 by surgery which known following 64%...
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...
Acute compartment syndrome often requires additional surgery to achieve wound closure. Little information exists regarding the expected number of surgeries, techniques and complications after closure in paediatric patients.A retrospective chart review identified patients treated for acute at four hospitals over a ten-year period. The cause injury, type dressing, were recorded.In all, 32 (mean 10.9 years, 1 17) who underwent 18 lower 14 upper extremity fasciotomies met inclusion criteria....
Growth modulation through anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) has emerged as a fusionless option for the treatment of progressive scoliosis. When main thoracic curve, compensatory thoracolumbar/lumbar curve must correct indirectly result. The present study evaluated response these lumbar curves following AVBT curves.Patients who underwent and had minimum follow-up 2 years were included. Magnitudes recorded preoperatively at first-erect 2-year postoperative visits. Lumbar further...
