STAC3D Against the Odds: Characterizing the Musculoskeletal Phenotype of STAC3 Gene Disorder.
STAC3 Disorder causes widespread musculoskeletal problems including scoliosis (83%), contractures (61%), and congenital foot deformities (61%), requiring early diagnosis and expectation management.
PROMIS-25 correlated strongly with PROMIS Pediatric Mobility in pediatric lower extremity trauma patients, supporting its use as a broader multidomain outcome measure without losing mobility-specific sensitivity.
Diametaphyseal distal radius fractures in children exhibit characteristic biomechanical instability with ESIN that responds better to transepiphyseal intramedullary nailing fixation.
Early detection and epiphysiodesis of premature distal radius physeal arrest produces similar functional outcomes to late presentation with deformity requiring corrective osteotomy.
In slipped capital femoral epiphysis, percent epiphyseal displacement most strongly predicts flexion and abduction loss, while slip angle predicts internal rotation loss.
PROMIS-25 correlates strongly with QuickDASH in pediatric upper extremity trauma, particularly for physical function; instruments show complementary ceiling and floor effects.
Childhood Opportunity Index and Severity at Diagnosis of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.
Lower childhood opportunity index was not associated with age, severity, or treatment success of developmental dysplasia of the hip at a tertiary urban center.
In conservatively treated pediatric lateral humeral condyle fractures, radiographic articular gap and initial displacement ≥2 mm predict displacement progression and complications.
Venous thromboembolism in children with lower limb fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Venous thromboembolism occurs infrequently in children with lower limb fractures at 0.53% rate; evidence for pharmacological prophylaxis remains sparse.
Surgical Management of Fibrous Dysplasia and Associated Syndromes.
Review covers surgical management strategies for fibrous dysplasia, noting bisphosphonates help early disease while strut allografts and angled blade plates show best long-term results for advanced deformities like shepherd's crook.
Ipsilateral Healthy-segment Response to Leg Length Discrepancy.
Ipsilateral healthy segments show minimal growth changes in response to companion segment shortening from avascular necrosis, Legg-Perthès disease, or physeal trauma.
Surgical Level Selection in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: An Evidence-Based Approach.
Surgical level selection in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis balances minimizing progression risk and optimizing spinal balance while fusing the fewest necessary levels.
