Non-Operative vs. Operative Treatment of Pediatric Proximal Humerus Fractures
Long-term outcomes of pediatric PHFs were uniformly excellent, regardless of fracture severity or treatment modality. Surgery did not improve recovery, function, or return to sport and was associated with higher costs and minor postoperative issues. Conservative management should remain the standard of care for nearly all pediatric PHFs, with surgery reserved for exceptional circumstances such as open fractures, neurovascular compromise, or faile…
Ten-Year Clinical and Functional Outcomes of Anterograde Calcaneo-Stop Arthroereisis for Idiopathic Flexible Flatfoot in Children
Ten years after C-Stop arthroereisis in childhood, patients exhibit functional scores comparable to normative values, high rates of ceiling effect on FAAM, and a modest level of physical activity predominantly in low-impact sports
Evaluation of Physical and Mental Health in Adults Who Underwent Limb-Lengthening Procedures with Circular External Fixators During Childhood or Adolescence
Adults treated with distraction osteogenesis for congenital LLD show normal physical but lower mental health scores compared to peers. Lengthening procedure characteristics did not significantly impact mental health. Routine psychological and social assessments are recommended to prevent long-term distress by providing appropriate support
Patient-Reported Outcomes in Children Undergoing the Modified Green Procedure for Treating Sprengel’s Deformity
Sprengel's Deformity (SD) is a rare condition of the shoulder girdle, appearing as the principal congenital anomaly of the shoulder in paediatric patients. The aim of this study is to document the combined experience of two paediatric orthopaedic departments in managing SD using the modified Green Procedure, with a specific emphasis on the clinical and functional outcomes reported by patients; Methods: from June 2010 to February 2023, 42 shoulder…
Health-related quality of life and associated risk factors in patients with Multiple Osteochondromas
Increasing age and surgical procedures were found highly associated with reduced health-related quality of life in Multiple Osteochondromas patients. Our findings provide relevant information to support the establishment of patient-centered healthcare pathways and pave the way for further research into medical and non-medical therapeutic strategies for these patients
Guided Growth Technique for Epiphysiodesis and Hemiepiphysiodesis
Guided-growth by temporary epiphysiodesis or hemiepiphysiodesis was safe and effective for angular deformities and limb-length discrepancies. Further prospective and/or randomized controlled trial studies assessing more significant cohorts of patients and a comparison group could add evidence to our findings
Is the High Healing Index a Complication of Progressive Long Bone Lengthening? Observations from a Cohort of 178 Children Treated with Circular External Fixation for Lower Limb Length Discrepancy
The use of external fixators (EFs) for lower limb lengthening is common for treating lower limb length discrepancy (LLD) in children. The concern at present revolves around extended treatment times, with some suggesting a healing index (HI) > 45 days/cm as a major complication. The aim of this study is to assess the factors affecting bone healing and treatment duration in children who undergo limb lengthening for LLD using circular EFs. A total o…
The Minimally Invasive Seri Osteotomy for Pediatric Hallux Valgus
Hallux valgus (HV), one of the most common forefoot pediatric pathologies, is characterized by lateral deviation of the big toe and medial displacement of the first metatarsal bone. Different surgical techniques have been described to correct the deformity, but no consensus has been reached regarding the best surgical option. The aim of this retrospective study was to report the results of the SERI technique in 58 pediatric HV of 45 consecutive p…
