Background: Bladder exstrophy is a rare, complex disorder that involves the urinary, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems marked by an incomplete lower abdominal wall, leaving bladder exposed to outside world. Skeletal findings in this condition include externally rotated innominate bones. While resulting acetabular retroversion might be expected cause out-toeing, there no published data on gait parameters or rotational profile of children with classic (CBE) isolation....
Adequate pain control and early mobilization are critical in the postoperative period after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Regional anesthesia can reduce pain, but certain techniques increase risk of motor block delayed functional recovery. Continuous lumbar epidurals provide excellent analgesia also create challenges with ambulation. Recently, suprainguinal fascia iliaca (SIFI) single-shot blocks have been shown to effective PAO patients. The goal this study was compare opioid use, time...
Objective: Most prior investigations on adverse outcomes after open reduction (OR) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) have focused avascular necrosis, redislocation, and residual dysplasia. To our knowledge, no previous study has investigated risk factors stiffness, an underappreciated source postoperative morbidity. The goals this were to define entity more clearly evaluate prevalence arthrofibrosis OR DDH. Methods: A retrospective was conducted, including all reductions DDH...
Avulsion fractures of the ischial tuberosity (AFIT) are uncommon injuries that sometimes require operative fixation with screws, suture anchors, or cortical suspensory buttons. This study reviewed a series surgically managed AFITs at single institution and compared outcomes among strategies. We hypothesized there would be no difference in between types.
Case: A 16-year-old right-hand dominant male baseball player presented with little league shoulder in the setting of recombinant growth hormone utilization for deficiency. After a prolonged treatment course, including physical therapy and throwing programs, patient returned to but suffered an ipsilateral proximal humerus fracture around plate. Conclusion: The occurrence such injury context human merits consideration youth athletes undergoing similar regimens. Clinically, we recommend...
Background: The treatment modalities for pediatric femoral shaft fractures are determined by their age, weight, and fracture pattern. Rigid intramedullary nailing (RIN) is usually recommended patients >11 years of elastic (EIN) has been used under 10 years. However, little known about the use RIN in aged 8 to We examined differences with who were treated EIN or terms (1) healing; (2) changes anatomic parameters; (3) related complications. Methods: retrospectively reviewed 54 between...
Purpose: While children with hypermobility and/or ligamentous laxity due to coexisting connective tissue disorders might be expected have worse outcomes after open reduction for hip dislocations, there is minimal prior research on this topic. Methods: All surgeries dislocations performed at a single urban, tertiary-care children’s hospital from 2009 2023 were reviewed retrospectively. Those secondary diagnosed syndrome or genetic disorder included. Patients <1 year of follow-up...
Case: A 14-year-old boy sustained 22 cm of femur bone loss after a motor vehicle accident. The patient underwent treatment with the membrane-inducing “Masquelet” technique for management injury. grafts incorporated to form new and fill-in void. Conclusion: Although Masquelet is thoroughly described in adult orthopaedic trauma oncology literature, there are minimal reports support its use pediatric patients. Five-year follow-up data on this concluded that utilization significant defects...
BACKGROUND Bladder exstrophy is a congenital condition involving malformation of anterior abdominal wall leading to an extruded bladder and other genitourinary musculoskeletal system abnormalities. Orthopedically, patients with classic present "open" bony pelvis deformity obvious symphysis pubis diastasis. Multiple surgical techniques have been described for correction the in exstrophy, including that by Sponseller, et al. They bilateral double iliac osteotomies pelvic ring fixation using...
