Objective: Chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) has garnered attention in health care for its potential to reshape patient interactions. As patients increasingly rely on artificial intelligence platforms, concerns about information accuracy arise. In-toeing, a common lower extremity variation, often leads pediatric orthopaedic referrals despite observation being the primary treatment. Our study aims assess ChatGPT’s responses in-toeing questions, contributing discussions...
The risk factors for fracture-related nerve injury in pediatric Monteggia fracture-dislocations are not well understood. As such, this study aimed to determine the incidence of, and preoperative for, fracture-dislocations. Patients aged ≤18 years with acute or Monteggia-equivalent that underwent reduction operating room, including closed casting under general anesthesia internal fixation of ulnar fracture without opening radiocapitellar joint, from 2011 2021 were retrospectively identified....
A previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating operative versus nonoperative treatment of acute flail chest injuries revealed more ventilator-free days in operatively treated patients who had been ventilated at the time randomization. It has suggested that surgery for these may also improve a patient's pain and function. Our goal was to perform secondary analysis RCT evaluate postinjury opioid requirements with nonoperatively unstable wall injuries. We analyzed data from multicenter...
This study seeks to analyze risk factors associated with loss follow up (LTF) after pin pull in pediatric patients operatively treated supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHF). A retrospective cohort of under 18 years operative SCHF from 2010 2020 was conducted. Factors interest included LTF, age, race, language, distance the hospital, Gartland fracture type, and Social Deprivation Index (SDI) by ZIP code. Univariate logistic regression performed for each independent variable significant...
Background: Pediatric supracondylar humerus (SCH; AO/OTA13-M/3.1) and medial epicondyle fractures (AO/OTA13u-M/7.1) are common. Concomitant SCH with ipsilateral remain scarcely reported. We investigated the epidemiology, treatment, outcomes of this rare, combined injury. Methods: A retrospective review pediatric patients concomitant at a level 1 hospital from 2010 to 2020 was performed. Patient data, treatments, were assessed. Radiographs reviewed for fracture classification alignment....
The purposeof this study was to compare outcomes of operatively treated pediatric distal third tibial shaft fractures fixed with elastic nailing or plate fixation and evaluate the incidence concurrent tibia physeal fractures. Retrospective review identified skeletally immature patients that underwent operative at a level 1 children’s hospital from 2010 2020. Patient fracture characteristics were recorded. Analysis treatment performed rates evaluated. Of 214 surgically fractures, 43 A present...
Magnetic lengthening devices are being used more frequently and have been replacing traditional limb techniques in recent years.1 The PRECICE nail (Nuvasive Inc.) allows for gradual through a magnetic telescopic mechanism. This the patient ability to achieve controlled along axis of from home. Due unknown effects leaving this implant place pediatric population, it is recommended by Food Drug Administration that device be removed after 1 year.2 A unique challenge can encountered with...
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a potentially devastating complication that can occur after slipped capital epiphysis (SCFE) or neck fracture. It hypothesized osteonecrosis results from injury to superior retinacular artery system supplies outer two thirds head.1 This at time (during slip fracture) surgical treatment when fracture being reduced. Therefore, ability assess epiphyseal perfusion intraoperatively, before and/or reduction an unstable SCFE help surgeon understand risk...
Pelvic osteochondromas are relatively rare, representing 5% of all osteochondromas.1 Although otherwise a benign lesion, axial location and the presence cartilage cap more than 2-cms at time skeletal maturity risk factors for malignant transformation.1 Osteochondromas arising from superior pubic ramus rarely described in literature. Resection bone tumors this is historically through ilioinguinal approach with varying skin incisions. One earliest reports resection an osteochondroma 1951...
