BACKGROUND: Nursemaid's elbow is a common musculoskeletal disorder among children under 5 years of age. However, diagnostic imaging to confirm a nursemaid's elbow diagnosis is still unavailable. Through the use of a high-frequency ultrasound probe, we determined the etiology and possible pathophysiology of nursemaid's elbow. METHODS: Thirteen consecutive patients with the clinical suspicion of nursemaid's elbows were examined. A high-frequency linear array 6 to 24 MHz hockey stick transducer was used to detect small changes (partial eclipse signs) of the radial head in the axial view before and after manipulation...

BACKGROUND: Angular deformity correction with tension band plating has not been as successful in early-onset tibia vara (EOTV) as it has been in other conditions. Our hypothesis is that perioperative factors can predict the success of lateral tibial tension band plating (LTTBP) in patients with EOTV. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed at 7 centers evaluating radiographic outcomes of LTTBP in patients with EOTV (onset <7 y of age). Single-event tibial LTTBP outcome was assessed through medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA)...

PURPOSE: Patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) often develop coronal plane knee deformities despite medical treatment. Hemiepiphysiodesis is an effective way to correct coronal plane knee deformities in skeletally immature patients, but a full understanding of the rate of angular correction after hemiepiphysiodesis in XLH patients, compared with idiopathic cases is lacking. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed charts of 24 XLH patients and 37 control patients without metabolic bone disease who underwent hemiepiphysiodesis...

BACKGROUND: The Shriners Hospital Upper Extremity Evaluation (SHUEE) is a video-based measure designed to assess upper extremity function in people with cerebral palsy (CP). The SHUEE completes both dynamic positional analysis (DPA; position during functional activities) and spontaneous functional analysis (spontaneous use of the involved limb). Although the SHUEE has been suggested as a measure for planning upper limb interventions and evaluating outcomes, limited evidence of its ability to detect change exists...

BACKGROUND: Treatment of supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures within 18 hours of presentation is a tracked quality metric for ranking of pediatric hospitals. This is in contrast with literature that shows time to treatment does not impact outcomes in SCH fractures. We aim to determine whether an 18-hour cutoff for pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture treatment is clinically significant by comparing the complication risks ofpatients on either side of this timepoint. Our hypothesis is that there will be no statistically significant differences based on time to treatment...

BACKGROUND: Late presenting cases of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia, are further complicated with severe shortening. Limb length discrepancy (LLD) cannot be corrected by vascularized fibular grafting and the use of Ilizarov distraction is associated with a high rate of complications. The aim of this study was to report the long-term follow-up of a combined technique previously published under the name "telescoping vascularized fibular graft". MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven patients operated at an average age of 10...

BACKGROUND: Bone age (BA) has been shown to be superior to chronological age (CA) when predicting remaining growth. However, it is not known whether the calculations are more accurate when BA is assessed by the Greulich and Pyle (GP) or the Sauvegrain (SG) methods. The aim of our study was to identify the method which gives an estimate closest to actual growth in the lower extremities. METHODS: Leg length radiographs, hand radiographs, and elbow radiographs were simultaneously obtained during the adolescent growth spurt (10 to 16 years) in 52 children treated for LLD, with radiographic follow-up of segmental length (femur, tibia, and foot) until skeletal maturity, were randomly selected from a local institutional register...

INTRODUCTION: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are often specific to a specific type of surgery without assessing the overall effect on the ward. Previous studies have demonstrated reduced length of stay (LOS) with ERAS protocols in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), although the patients are often healthy and with few or no comorbidities. In 2018, we used ERAS principles for patients undergoing AIS surgery with a subsequent 40% reduced LOS. The current study aims to assess the potential collateral effect of LOS in patients surgically treated for neuromuscular scoliosis admitted to the same ward and treated by the same staff but without a standardized ERAS protocol...

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 for patients >11 years of age, and elastic intramedullary nailing (EIN) has been used for patients under 10 years. However, little is known about the use of RIN in patients aged 8 to 10 years. We examined the differences in patients with femoral shaft fractures who were treated with EIN or RIN in terms of (1) fracture healing; (2) changes of anatomic parameters; and (3) related complications...

BACKGROUND: Tarsal coalition is one of the most common foot and ankle pathologies in children, yet there is no consensus regarding what to interpose after resection. Fibrin glue could be considered, but the literature comparing fibrin glue to other interposition types is sparse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of fibrin glue for interposition compared with fat graft by analyzing the rate of coalition recurrence and wound complications. We hypothesized that fibrin glue would have similar rates of coalition recurrence and fewer wound complications compared with fat graft interposition...

BACKGROUND: The Pirani scale is used for the assessment of Ponseti-managed clubfoot. Predicting outcomes using the total Pirani scale score has varied results, however, the prognostic value of midfoot and hindfoot components remains unknown. The purpose was to (1) determine the existence of subgroups of Ponseti-managed idiopathic clubfoot based on the trajectory of change in midfoot and hindfoot Pirani scale scores, (2) identify time points, at which subgroups can be distinguished, and (3) determine whether subgroups are associated with the number of casts required for correction and need for Achilles tenotomy...
