A Novel Technique for Intraoperative Navigation in Occipitocervical Fusion: A Preliminary Report.
Novel navigated occipitocervical fusion technique with reference array attached after occipital fixation improves safety and efficiency in pediatric patients.
Structured training enables advanced practice providers to perform pediatric distal radial fracture reductions comparably to experienced residents with better retention and lower loss-of-reduction rates.
Pelvic fixation in pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis fusion increases short-term wound complications but achieves comparable long-term outcomes with appropriate perioperative management.
Spinal fusion concurrent with Shilla construct removal is preferred endpoint; late fusion attempts show larger curves and higher infection rates than immediate fusion.
Improved knee range of motion after rectus femoris transfer did not correlate with improved walking ability scores in cerebral palsy patients.
Modified Woodward procedure significantly improves shoulder mobility in moderate-severe Sprengel deformity, while mild cases require only observation due to favorable natural history.
Diagnosis and management of septic arthritis: A current concepts review.
Modern septic arthritis diagnosis increasingly relies on MRI and biomarkers, with growing recognition of Kingella infections and less invasive treatment options alongside traditional approaches.
Overuse Elbow Injuries in Youth Gymnasts.
Youth gymnasts develop unique lateral elbow overuse injuries including osteochondritis dissecans, radiocapitellar plica, and radial head stress fractures; sport-specific rehabilitation is essential.
Posterior spinal fusion for skeletally mature adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis offers excellent radiographic outcomes but requires careful counseling about spinal mobility loss and decreased athletic performance.
Expert-consensus principle-based classification for pediatric femur fractures correlates with outcomes; undertreated fractures showed 43% poor results versus 14-19% adequately/overtreated.
Complications After Pediatric Hip Fractures: Evaluation and Management.
Pediatric hip fractures risk osteonecrosis and other complications; anatomic reduction and stable fixation are critical to prevent nonunion and preserve hip function.
Brace treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: risk factors for failure-a literature review.
Poor brace compliance, early skeletal maturity, and baseline curve magnitude exceeding 40 degrees significantly increase adolescent idiopathic scoliosis progression risk.
