Three radiographic limb length measurement methods were comparable; subtle differences correlated with coronal plane deformity in angular alignment.
The inferior point of Blumensaat's line provides superior accuracy and reliability for identifying distal femoral physeal midpoint during hemiepiphysiodesis guidance.
Bony migration percentage overestimates true hip displacement in cerebral palsy; age-related maturation affects interpretation accuracy.
Barrel-bone grafting achieves 100% union rate in recalcitrant congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia with no refractures despite absent or sclerotic fibula in some cases.
Femur fractures in cerebral palsy children benefit from operative treatment in ambulatory patients to reduce malunion, though nonoperative casting common.
Long-term Follow-up of Myelomeningocele Patients: Factors That Can Affect Their Walking Ability.
Spina bifida patients experience functional decline over time in most classifications; body mass index and functional speed independently predict long-term ambulatory outcomes.
Characteristics of Hip Dysplasia in Adults With Cerebral Palsy.
Hip dysplasia in adults with cerebral palsy correlates strongly with GMFCS level; GMFCS I-II shows age-related progression.
Central mediolateral positioning of Fassier-Duval rods reduces telescoping failure risk in children with osteogenesis imperfecta; younger age strongly predicts failure.
Image-based quantitative planning for radioulnar synostosis osteotomy provides objective parameters and may improve consistency, though validation in larger prospective studies is needed.
Three-screw crossed pinning provides superior torsional resistance and maintains varus stability compared to lateral pinning in supracondylar fractures.
Adolescent flexible flatfoot shows anteromedial forefoot loading; radiographic and dynamic assessments capture complementary, non-interchangeable aspects.
Implementing Evidence-based Opioid Prescribing in Pediatric Orthopaedics.
Reviews POSNA opioid prescribing guidelines for pediatric orthopaedic surgery, highlighting implementation barriers and strategies to safely optimize postoperative pain control.
Genetic Syndromes Associated With Congenital Upper Limb Differences.
Genetic syndromes with congenital upper limb differences involve disrupted developmental signaling; molecular testing clarifies diagnosis and guides management.
Kienböck Disease: Recent Advances in Understanding and Management.
Kinböck disease management depends on lunate cartilage integrity; intact cartilage benefits from decompression while disrupted cartilage requires joint-bypassing arthrodesis.
Proximal Humerus Reconstruction in Skeletally Immature Patients.
Proximal humerus reconstruction in skeletally immature patients requires balancing multiple factors; expandable prostheses and vascularized transfers address unique growth-related challenges.
A Scientometric Analysis of Studies on Patellar Dislocation.
Scientometric analysis identifies medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, risk factors, and pediatric cases as major research themes in patellar dislocation literature.
Pediatric Ganglions of the Hand and Wrist: A Review of Current Literature.
Pediatric ganglions differ by age: children under ten have volar wrist cysts with spontaneous regression, while older children resemble adults with dorsal cysts requiring surgical excision.
Prearthritic Hip Disease: Important Issues.
Prearthritic hip disease requires mechanical correction before irreversible damage occurs; multidisciplinary assessment and shared decision-making optimize outcomes in minimally symptomatic patients.
Os odontoideum in asymptomatic children requires observation; instability or neurologic deficit necessitates surgical fusion to stabilize the cervical spine.
Proximal Radius Fractures in Children.
Nonsurgical management of minimally displaced pediatric radial neck fractures yields excellent outcomes with low complication rates.
