Background: Considerable variability exists in the described clinical and radiographic indications for use, surgical techniques, postoperative management, risk profile after trochleoplasty management of patellofemoral instability (PFI). In areas uncertainty, a cohesive summary expert opinion identification variation current practice can be useful guiding future research efforts. Purpose: To assess rehabilitation practices, observed complication PFI among surgeons who perform this procedure....
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common cause of hip pain in adolescents and most often treated by situ screw fixation. Orthopaedic follow-up critical after treatment for SCFE due to risks complications subsequent contralateral slip. Recent studies have shown that socioeconomic deprivation associated with decreased fracture care compliance, but no explored this relationship SCFEs. The study aims determine the between compliance.This included pediatric patients pinning 2011 2019...
Introduction: One of the most popular containment procedures for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is proximal femur varus osteotomy (PFO). While generally successful in achieving containment, PFO can cause limb length discrepancy, abductor weakness, and (of concern families) a persistent limp. many studies have focused on radiographic outcomes following surgery, none analyzed predictors this The aim study was to determine clinical, radiographic, surgical risk factors limp 2 years after...
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a major morbidity that can occur after surgical reduction of hip with developmental dysplasia. Early detection changes in femoral head perfusion during surgery may help detect at risk for AVN and guide intraoperative management. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) be employed visualization perfusion. In this study we evaluate quantitative CEUS technique to assess pre- post-surgical reduction. images were obtained following bolus injection an contrast agent, prior...
Purpose: Given that pediatric traumatic hip dislocations are relatively rare, the purpose of current study is twofold: first, to contribute a significant cohort existing corpus, and second, provide evidence toward role computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging could play in identification management this type injury. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted all patients with dislocation who presented from 2012 2022 at tertiary-level trauma center. Data regarding demographics,...
Background: The Pavlik harness (PH) is the most common treatment for infants with developmental dysplasia of hip. Although success rates are high when used appropriately, brace may impact family function and parental bonding. purpose this study was to prospectively determine how PH affected these psychosocial variables. Methods: This a prospective, single-surgeon at tertiary-care, urban, academic children’s hospital between November 2022 March 2023. All patients newly treated were eligible....
Background: Avascular necrosis (AVN) remains the most dreaded complication of unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) treatment. Newer closed reduction techniques (with perfusion monitoring) have emerged as a technically straightforward means to address residual SCFE deformity while still minimizing risk osteonecrosis. However, limited data exists regarding reliability intraoperative epiphyseal monitoring predict development AVN. The purpose this study was evaluate its reliability....
Introduction: Seymour physeal fractures of the distal phalanx Hallux in children are common but rarely described literature. There is limited literature investigating how these should be specifically treated. Generally, good results reported when open treated with debridement and antibiotics. This large retrospective review evaluates incidence infection compares outcomes various treatments for children. Methods: study included patients ≤18 years age between January 1, 2007, November 20,...
Case: In this case report, we discuss a skeletally immature gymnast who presented with an isolated distal femoral adductor tubercle avulsion fracture that went on to develop painful nonunion. After the failure of extensive nonoperative intervention, she had resolution her symptoms bony excision and soft-tissue repair. Conclusion: It is important for clinicians be aware atypical injury pattern surgical intervention may necessary because conservative treatment not always resolve symptoms.
