Dog bites are common injuries in children. A large percentage of these dog affect the upper extremity. There is little information describing results treatment extremity children.We retrospectively reviewed medical records for all children less than 19 years old who presented to emergency department our level one trauma centre because from 2005 2011.During study period, there were 254 paediatric visits animal bites, among 118 two excluded inadequate documentation leaving 116 patients; 26...
Background: Magnetic intramedullary nails (IMNs) are fully implantable lengthening devices that became available in the United States 2011 for correction of limb length discrepancies. This device represents a major advancement field surgery as it is typically tolerated better than external fixation. Unlike traditional IMNs, surgeons recommend routine removal following lengthening. One such reason involves patient safety pertains to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Theoretical concerns with...
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition which predominantly occurs in adolescents. SCFE extremely rare adults, and nearly all previous reported cases have been associated with an endocrine disorder.We present case of 19-year-old man Kabuki syndrome who was diagnosed unstable requiring surgical fixation. A literature search on PubMed Google Scholar done looking for published delayed-onset SCFE. All were reviewed to determine the likely cause SCFE.No described patients...
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether healing both bone forearm (BBFA) fractures in children and adolescents is associated with the stage olecranon apophysis development as described by Diméglio modification Sauvegrain method. Methods: Records were reviewed from 2 children’s hospitals 1997 2008 identify all patients younger than 18 years age who had BBFA treated intramedullary nail fixation. Sixty-three identified meeting inclusion exclusion criteria. noted on...
Patients who undergo open reduction and internal fixation of distal clavicle fractures have a high rate hardware removal persistence symptoms, particularly when attempting to return high-demand activities. This study evaluated the outcomes military servicemembers after surgical treatment fractures. The authors performed retrospective analysis active duty underwent Neer type II between October 17, 2007, July 20, 2012, with minimum 2-year clinical follow-up. electronic health record was...
Case: Focal periphyseal edema (FOPE) zones have only recently been described as a cause of joint pain in adolescence. The literature is limited to few case reports and radiologic studies describing this symptomatic physeal pathology. This series describes 3 adolescent patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed FOPE the distal femur. Repeat MRI 2 showed improvement yet incomplete resolution bone edema, corresponding persistent knee pain. Conclusions: usually improve conservative...
The Rule of 57 is an easy method for planning osteotomies and calculating translations when correcting spine limb deformities.The rule based on the mathematical principle that a circle with radius mm has circumference 360 where each 1° subtends arc 1 in length.Thus opening or closing wedge osteotomy width would result angular correction.This basic geometric shape can be extrapolated many ways to determine proper alignment preoperative planning, performing osteotomies, understanding guided...
Concussions are a major cause of morbidity in pediatrics. Many concussions occur during activities with emergency medical service (EMS) providers present to determine if higher level care is needed. Data limited on how capable these are. We assessed the ability EMS recognize pediatric concussions. Fifty-six total responses were included, 38 from and 18 our MD/RN (medical doctor/registered nurse) group. No statistical differences found between 2 groups when adjusted for age, gender, number...
Management of nonunions and bone defects remain a persistent orthopedic challenge. Traditional methods autologous graft are complicated by donor site morbidity, limited availability, local morbidity imposed from surgical dissection around the nonunion. This case demonstrates method grafting which avoids many these patient morbidities while delivering large volume to nonunion site. The technique utilizes Reamer Irrigator Aspirator 2 System harvest deliver ipsilateral intramedullary distal...
