Isolated First Rib Fractures in Adolescent Athletes: An Epidemiologic Review.
First rib fractures in adolescent athletes, both traumatic and stress-related, have favorable outcomes with conservative management and activity modification, with full return to sport in all cases.
Meta-analysis found short leg casts equal long leg casts for pediatric tibia fracture alignment and complications, with faster weight-bearing and union, though evidence is retrospective.
Pediatric and young adult osteosarcoma survivors have high natural fertility rates comparable to the general population, reassuring patients and families during treatment counseling.
Large language models achieved ~74% accuracy in pediatric orthopedics with high reading complexity and regional variability, suitable as supervised educational supplements but not independent decision tools.
Factors Associated With Flat-Top Talus in Radiographically Evaluated Ponseti-Treated Clubfeet.
Flat-top talus after Ponseti clubfoot treatment is associated with greater initial deformity severity, more casts, and prior surgery, marking intrinsic rigidity rather than driving recurrence.
Training and Integrating Advanced Practice Providers in Pediatric Hand Surgery.
A practical framework for training and integrating advanced practice providers into pediatric hand surgery teams to boost efficiency and care delivery.
Brachial plexus birth injury: advances and controversies.
Review of brachial plexus birth injury covers imaging, timing of nerve exploration, nerve transfers, and physiotherapy, though evidence remains limited and uncertain.
Modern pediatric upper-extremity skeletal maturity systems show only mild race- and sex-dependent discrepancies versus historical data, remaining broadly applicable.
The Natural History of Pediatric and Adolescent Shoulder Dislocation.
Recurrent anterior shoulder instability occurs in over 70% of young patients, supporting early surgical consideration in this high-risk population to prevent progressive joint damage.
