Poor Prognostic Factors in Surgically Treated Habitual Patellar Dislocation in Children and Adolescents
Background/Objectives: Habitual patellar dislocation is a rare but debilitating form of patellofemoral instability in children and adolescents, frequently associated with underlying anatomical abnormalities and ligamentous laxity. Despite multiple surgical techniques, recurrence and suboptimal functional recovery remain concerns. This study aimed to identify the demographic, clinical, and imaging factors associated with postoperative recurrence a…
Pediatric Medial Discoid Meniscus
Discoid medial meniscus (DMM) is a rare congenital anomaly, with bilateral cases being even more uncommon. Due to its rarity, comprehensive data on its prevalence, clinical presentation, and optimal management strategies are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes of symptomatic DMM in a pediatric population. A retrospective review was conducted on patients under 18 years of age diagn…
Vitamin D Deficiency—A Public Health Issue in Children
This study highlights the high prevalence of 25(OH)D deficiency and insufficiency in the pediatric population, emphasizing the need for public health monitoring and targeted supplementation strategies. Findings underscore the importance of regular consultations with healthcare providers to ensure optimal 25(OH)D levels in children, with potential implications for revising current sufficiency thresholds. Addressing 25(OH)D deficiency is crucial fo…
Reevaluating Pediatric Osteomyelitis with Osteoarticular Tuberculosis
Timely, accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment are critical to improving outcomes in pediatric osteoarticular TB. Vaccination status and comprehensive diagnostic tools significantly influence disease progression and treatment success. The study underscores the need for enhanced screening and diagnostic methods to prevent delays in treatment
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a progressive condition that lacks clear diagnostic and management protocols, due to insufficient data. While some advocate for universal screening, others recommend using risk factors as landmarks. In this study, we aimed to assess the risk factors associated with DDH incidence among a large population. We conducted a retrospective single-center multifactorial study between January 2019 and March 2022,…
Vitamin D—A Risk Factor for Bone Fractures in Children
Dosing the serum level of 25-OH-vitamin D should be taken into consideration for pediatric low-energy trauma fractures. Supplementing with vitamin D and calcium throughout childhood can be a solution for healthy bones. Our preliminary results show that the normal level of vitamin D in children should start at 40 ng/mL
Controlling the Progression of Curvature in Children and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Following the Administration of Melatonin, Calcium, and Vitamin D
Idiopathic scoliosis affects a severe number of children. Their quality of life and development are also disturbed. Some therapeutic strategies have been developed to control illness progression and to optimize the quality of life. In this perspective, randomized, case-control, interventional study, the impact of using melatonin, calcium, and vitamin D, respectively, on idiopathic scoliosis patients was analyzed. Our preliminary results showed th…
The Role of Arthroereisis in Improving Sports Performance, Foot Aesthetics and Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents with Flexible Flatfoot
Flexible flatfoot represents one of the most common deformities of the lower limb, affecting children and adolescents. Aesthetic aspect, abnormal gait, pain and fatigue are by far the most important symptoms which determine parents to bring their children to the orthopedist. We set out to conduct a prospective study, case-controlled, including patients with symptomatic flexible flatfeet operated on by arthroereisis surgery and comparing them to a…
A Prospective Cohort Study on Quality of Life among the Pediatric Population after Surgery for Recurrent Patellar Dislocation
Patellofemoral instability is a frequent cause of knee pathology affecting quality of life among the pediatric population. Here, we present a prospective cohort study which included patients who had undergone surgical management using the lateral release and medial imbrication approach (LRMI) or medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R). The object of this study was to assess the quality of life among children that have undergone sur…
The Relationship between the Dominant Hand and the Occurrence of the Supracondylar Humerus Fracture in Pediatric Orthopedics
It is known that during a fall, a child would rather protect their dominant hand by using the non-dominant one, although the role of handedness in upper limb fractures has not been studied in-depth. We carried out a retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study, including pediatric patients who presented to the emergency room with a supracondylar humerus fracture following an injury by falling from the same height. In total, 245 patients were selec…
Evaluating the Functional Outcomes and the Quality of Life for Pediatric Patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta after Fracture Treatment with Intramedullary Rodding
Osteogenesis imperfecta is associated with a severely damaged level of walking. All of the aspects of the pediatric patient's daily life activity seem to be affected. Furthermore, these patients, especially those residing in rural areas, have a poor quality of life
