In Brief Study Design. Human cadaveric biomechanical study. Objective. To determine the fixation strength of laterally directed, cortical pedicle screws under physiological loads. Summary Background Data. Lateral trajectory have been described as a means obtaining improved while minimizing soft-tissue dissection during lumbar instrumentation. Biomechanical data demonstrated equivalent in quasi-static model; however, no information is available comparing with traditional cyclic Methods....
Background: Thoracic anterior vertebral body tethering (TAVBT) is an emerging treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Tether breakage a known complication of TAVBT with incompletely incidence. We aim to define the incidence tether in patients scoliosis who undergo TAVBT. The hypothesized be high and increase time postoperatively. Methods: All right-sided, thoracic curves underwent at least 2 up 3 years radiographic follow-up were included. between vertebrae was defined priori as any...
The study purpose was to determine the safety/efficacy of a split anterior tibialis tendon transfer (SPLATT) peroneus tertius or brevis in children with static encephalopathy and varus feet.A retrospective review short- long-term complications, change ankle range motion, strength, gait kinematics. Predictors postoperative valgus were examined.One hundred thirty-three patients included (average age [SD] 10.3 [3.7]), an average follow-up 3.9 (3.4) years. Forefoot/hindfoot eversion motion...
Background: Many pediatric conditions of the lower extremity are self-limiting and have no known long-term prognostic effects. The Pediatric Orthopaedic Society North America (POSNA), American Academy Surgeons (AAOS) Pediatrics (AAP) all analogous guidelines regarding use orthotics for benign limb pathologies, but it is unknown whether clinicians adhere to these guidelines. Methods: A review current recommendations treatment four common Blount’s disease was performed. were used as a...
Purpose: Certain pediatric conditions of the lower extremity are self-limiting and have no known long-term prognostic effects. The Pediatric Orthopaedic Society North America (POSNA) American Academy Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines regarding use orthotics for limb pathologies, but it is unknown whether these adhered to. Additionally, we sought to evaluate reasoning frequency why POSNA members prescribing braces patients. Methods: An anonymous online questionnaire was sent all (n=1402). survey...
