Ten-minute MRI of the pediatric knee can add value through increased cost-effectiveness and decreased sedation needs but requires validation its clinical efficacy.To determine arthroscopy-based diagnostic accuracy interreader reliability 10-min 3D Controlled Aliasing In Parallel Imaging Results Higher Acceleration (CAIPIRINHA) turbo spin echo (TSE) with two isotropic pulse sequences for diagnosis internal derangement in children painful conditions.Prospective.Sixty children.3T, gradient...
Background: Racquet sports have increased in popularity over the past decade. Although research is available regarding epidemiological characteristics of tennis injuries, little known about frequency and injuries other racquet sports. Hypothesis: Given increase all sport participation United States (US), it hypothesized that accordingly become more frequent. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Using National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database, we reviewed...
Background: Growth-friendly treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) has changed with the development and evolution multiple devices. This study was designed to characterize changes in use growth-friendly implants for EOS from 2007 2017. Methods: We queried Pediatric Spine Study Group database patients who underwent index surgery July June In 1298 patients, we assessed causes EOS; preoperative curve magnitude; age at first surgery; patient sex; construct type; lengthening interval; incidence...
Abstract Supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures are reported to be approximately twice as common among boys girls. Little is known about sex-associated differences in fracture patterns and complications. We compared the incidence of pediatric SCH fractures, injury mechanism (high-energy or low-energy), subtypes, associated neurologic injuries, treatment types by patient sex. reviewed 1231 treated at 1 center from 2008 2017, analyzing sex distributions overall year subtype. noted demographic...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort. Objective. To determine how respiratory failure rates and duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for neuromuscular scoliosis compare between children with Rett syndrome (RS) versus cerebral palsy (CP). Summary Background Data. CP are associated high incidence dysfunction. Methods. We included 21 patients RS (mean age, 13 ± 3.1 yrs) 124 14 3.2 who underwent PSF by one surgeon from 2004 to 2017. Preoperative motor...
Hand and wrist radiographs are the most common means for estimating skeletal bone age. There is no widely used scale age using knee radiographs. Do estimates from knee-maturity scales correlate sufficiently with both chronologic a hand-wrist to potentially substitute latter? The authors reviewed records of 503 patients 6 19 years old who had hand obtained within 30 days each other. They analyzed O'Connor (based on 10 maturation markers) new, abbreviated version 7 markers). also hands boys...
Radiographic parameters are commonly used to determine the need for surgical supracondylar humeral (SCH) fracture reduction and postoperative quality of reduction. We studied whether such correlated with mid-term patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores in pediatric patients. retrospectively reviewed data from 213 patients (104 girls) treated surgically Gartland type-II (n = 84) or type-III 129) SCH fractures 2008–2016. Mean (± standard deviation) age at surgery was 5.1 ± 2.1 years. time...
The association between body mass index (BMI) and severity of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) the knee at presentation is poorly understood.
In this narrative medicine essay, a medical student reflects on the way that bad news, whether shared with humanity or as bungled communication, affects how person receiving end reacts, grieves, and moves forward.
Injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tissue retains proprioceptive nerve fibers, vascularity, and biomechanical properties. For these reasons, remnant ACL is often preserved during the treatment of injuries.To assess through a cadaveric model whether reorienting retensioning residual via an osteotomy improves knee stability after partial tear, with substantial intact femoral tibial attachments.Controlled laboratory study.In 8 adult knees, we measured translation rotational laxity at 30°...
Blount disease is most common among obese Black children. The reason for Blount's racial predisposition unclear. Given that obesity a risk factor and the known associations between race, obesity, socioeconomic status in United States, we hypothesized severity of differ non-Black children with late-onset disease. We additionally examined differences treatment types
Surgical site infection (SSI) rates in pediatric spinal deformity surgery for cerebral palsy (CP) patients are higher than that idiopathic scoliosis. The use of vancomycin powder is associated with decreased risk SSI neuromuscular patients. Prior studies adult and early-onset scoliosis have shown alters microbacterial profile develop SSI. However, the effects topical on microbiology CP has not been studied.An international multicenter database was used this retrospective cohort study. All...
Background: It has been posited that the osseous pelvic anomalies seen in patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) result from disruption of pubic symphysis. This hypothesis, however, not tested. In present animal study, our objective was to determine whether tension symphysis helps maintain shape ring, or growing bones a ring even without Methods: total, 12 neonatal New Zealand White rabbits underwent symphysiotomy (experimental group, n=9) sham surgery (control n=3) on days 3 4 life....
Background Body mass index (BMI) above the normal range has been associated with poorer treatment outcomes in patients osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of knee. Patients BMIs over 25kg/m2 show an increased risk postoperative arthritis, and BMI also shown to be independently predictive osteochondral allograft transplantations failure knee OCD. However, these data have largely focused on post-treatment relating Considering increase childhood obesity U.S., there is a dearth research regarding...
Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often indicated in the diagnosis of pediatric knee trauma, but using traditional MRIs children can be time-consuming, require anaesthesia, and sometimes cause discomfort. Recently, 3D turbo spin echo (TSE) with isotropic datasets have been found to reduce acquisition times substantially, they little-studied patients. The purpose our study was determine arthroscopy-based diagnostic performance 10-minute TSE MRI for detection internal derangement...
Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by ulcerative lesion with a violaceous border. Most frequently, these lesions present in the lower extremity and are associated underlying immune-mediated comorbidities. Infrequently, may upper extremity, which presents difficult challenges for surgeons as frequently misdiagnosed infectious process. This often leads to inappropriate surgical debridement antibiotic administration. Local trauma can lead process of...
