The rate of venous thromboembolism in children with musculoskeletal infections (MSKIs) is markedly elevated compared hospitalized general. Predictive biomarkers to identify high-risk patients are needed prevent the significant morbidity and rare mortality associated thrombotic complications. We hypothesize that overactivation acute phase response development pathologic thrombi we aim determine whether elevations C-reactive protein (CRP) increased rates thrombosis pediatric MSKI.A...
Purpose Complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) lead to patient morbidity and cost. While acute phase reactants, such as c-reactive protein (CRP) fibrinogen, have been used predict complications TKA, the extent duration of changes in albumin levels TKA are unknown. It is hypothesized that like CRP albumin, fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) represent useful measures response (APR) TKA. The purpose this study was describe longitudinal course FAR healthy patients relative established...
Limb ischemia in healthy teenagers is unusual. While traumatic or iatrogenic injury the most common etiologies of limb pediatric population, anatomic variants such as true aneurysms should be considered [1]. We report second documented case an idiopathic, isolated popliteal aneurysm resulting acute a previously 15-year-old female. also review proper evaluation and surgical management this anomaly. In case, included resection aneurysm, reconstruction with reverse saphenous vein grafting,...
Case: We report 2 cases of Loder-unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Both patients had initial pinning followed by surgical hip dislocation where complete avulsion the lateral epiphyseal vessels from nutrient foramina was identified. underwent epiphysiodesis to revascularize head but developed osteonecrosis with collapse 9 months after their injury. Conclusion: Avulsion currently represents a nonreversible mechanism avascularity in SCFE. Although Loder previously theorized...
Summary: As technology and interventional techniques continue to evolve, both the volume complexity of cardiac catheterizations will increase, leading a rise in number complications. One most morbid complications catheterization is vascular injury. We report case 31-day-old, 3.0-kg infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who experienced common iliac artery disruption during resulting retroperitoneal hemorrhage. The extent injury combined vessel caliber posed technically challenging...
Case: Digital nerves injuries following penetrating injuries, lacerations, and blunt force trauma are common. This case series reports 3 acute cases of partial digital nerve lacerations where patients presented with a similar electric shock–like sensation, the “electric shock sign” radiating distally along distribution. The lancinating pain commonly occurs active or passive finger extension. All underwent operative repair lacerations. With follow-up ranging between 4.5 months 11 years, there...
PURPOSE: Severe burn injury is associated with delayed or failed repair of skin and soft tissue. Following injury, impaired tissue healing occurs both at the site in concurrently injured with, but anatomically remote from, injury. Thus, predominate hypothesis that severe provokes derangements circulating acute phase reactants necessary for repair, contributing to pathologic changes healing. It has been determined failure remove fibrin, major constituent coagulation matrix, impairs all...
PURPOSE: Pediatric musculoskeletal infection leads to intense activation of the acute phase response (APR) that persists until is cleared by antibiotic therapy and/or surgical management. While essential for tissue healing and regeneration, over-activation maladaptive may lead systemic complications including thrombosis, organ failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation. In setting severe infections, continuous APR has potential become dysregulated. The magnitude reaction can be...
