REVIEW

UNLABELLED: Avascular necrosis (AVN) occurs in several chronic illnesses, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but can also occur in healthy children. There are multiple theories to explain why and how AVN occurs, but an exact mechanism has yet to be unraveled. AVN in the pediatric lupus population is understudied. The Atherosclerosis Prevention in Pediatric Lupus Erythematosus (APPLE) trial, provides an excellent venue to conduct an exploratory analysis to assess associations between AVN and demographics, SLE disease activity and vitamin D deficiency...

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term results, at an average follow-up of 22 years, in 66 patients (105 clubfeet) with very severe congenital idiopathic clubfeet according to the Dimeglio-Bensahel scale. METHODS: Patients were treated with an extensive soft tissue release in infancy. Results of the treatment were assessed according to the 100-point system of Ghanem-Seringe. At the latest follow-up, all participants were evaluated with regard to pain and the overall function of the lower extremities...

A 14-year-old girl with cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia) underwent examination due to a chief complaint of right foot pain, and was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the central one third of the navicular bone. The fracture was considered to have developed due to repeated loading on the navicular bone as a result of an equinus gait.Therefore, she underwent osteosynthesis and Achilles tendon lengthening to correct the equinus deformity. Following our review of the current literature, we did not identify any reports of stress fracture of the navicular bone in cerebral palsy...

Tarsal coalitions are relatively rare diagnoses affecting adolescent patients that typically present with progressive foot pain. Cuboid-navicular coalition, a type of tarsal coalition, is extremely rare with less than 10 reported cases to date. Most prevailing theories reported have described this specific type of coalition as asymptomatic except at specific moments of stress and exercise. The purpose in presenting this case is to demonstrate that cuboid-navicular coalition can be associated with chronic unremitting pain, as in our patient...

BACKGROUND: We present our experience of using tension band plates to achieve guided growth in children for correction of calcaneus deformity around the ankle. METHODS: Our study included 9 consecutive patients (11 ankles) with calcaneus deformity, over a period of 4 years. Surgical treatment with extra periosteal application of flexible 2 hole plate and screws on posterior aspect of distal tibial physis was carried out.The indications for treatment were residual clubfoot deformity in 9, posttraumatic in 1, and neurologic in 1...

Nineteen foot centralizations were performed in 14 patients with Jones type I and II tibial hemimelia. All feet showed equinovarus deformity and were treated by foot centralization by means of calcaneofibular arthrodesis. The average age of patients at the time of surgery was 1.3 years (range 0.4-3.8 years). The average follow-up postoperative period was 10.2 years (range 2.2-22.9). At the time of the final follow-up, four of the operated feet were plantigrade without secondary surgery. The remaining 15 limbs, however, required secondary surgery to treat postoperative early loss of correction and/or recurrent foot deformities such as equinus, varus and adduction, in addition to talipes calcaneal deformities, and fibular angular deformity at the fibular shortening osteotomy site...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
Franco Russo, Molly A Moor, Scott J Mubarak, Andrew T Pennock
INTRODUCTION: Premature physeal closure (PPC) is a common complication resulting from the management of a displaced Salter-Harris II (SH II) fracture of the distal tibia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate our institution's treatment approach to assess PPC and complication rates of fractures treated both surgically and nonsurgically. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of all patients presenting with a displaced SH II fracture between 2004 and 2010...

This is a case presentation of a 9-year-old boy who sustained a rare Salter-Harris type IV distal fibular fracture including an avulsion fracture of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament at the fibular attachment. Treatment consisted of open reduction and internal fixation by Kirschner wire and cerclage. Possible posttraumatic growth disturbances and the major implications are highlighted.

Closed type III phalangeal neck fractures with 180-degree rotation is a rare iatrogenic injury that occurs following failed attempts at closed reduction. Prior to closed reduction, the phalangeal head is in 90-degree rotation. Longitudinal traction during closed reduction then converts the deformity into 180-degree rotation. We present the first documented noniatrogenic case of phalangeal neck fracture with 180-degree rotation that was also associated with a displaced Salter-Harris II fracture at the same joint...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Subha Raman, E Christine Wallace
Irreducible fracture of the distal tibial physis due to interposed soft tissue including periosteum is well documented in the orthopedic literature but is uncommon. This condition has been associated with subsequent growth disturbance and requires open reduction. There are very few prior reports of MRI depiction of soft tissue interposition and none of periosteal interposition in the distal tibial physis. This is a relatively common location of physeal injury and related growth disturbance. We present a case of periosteum trapped in the distal tibial physis, diagnosed on MRI, in a Salter-Harris II fracture and its management implications...

Pediatric distal tibial fractures generally occur without significant long-term sequelae, and patients are commonly able to return to their preinjury activities after proper management. The literature reports excellent outcomes after anatomical reduction of distal tibial and ankle physeal fractures with closed or open treatment. Treatment options include simple immobilization of nondisplaced fractures, and closed or open reduction for restoration of anatomic alignment of displaced fractures. Soft tissue interposition within the fracture can threaten successful closed reduction, and may warrant open management if closed reduction fails to produce a satisfactory result...

OBJECTIVES: In skeletally immature children, isolated lateral ankle injuries without radiograph-visible fractures are often diagnosed with Salter-Harris I fractures of the distal fibula (SH1DF). However, recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence in children suggests that sprains may be more common than previously thought. Thus, the main objective of this study was to determine the rate of MRI-confirmed SH1DF among cases where this diagnosis was made presumptively, based on clinical findings...
