Hip arthroscopy continues to be a growing area of research and clinical practice within orthopedic sports medicine. The number of hip arthroscopy cases performed has increased exponentially over the past 2 decades.1 While hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement as well as labral and intra-a...

The field of hip preservation has undergone rapid technological transformation, driven by innovations that enhance diagnostic accuracy, surgical precision, and personalized care. This review explores recent advancements and future directions in hip preservation surgery. The topics covered in this re...

Results presented here showed minimal changes in coronal plane alignment after physeal-sparing and transphyseal ACL reconstruction in patients with more than 2 years and 2 or less years of growth left, respectively.

The principle of guided growth is grounded in the observations of Hueter and Volkmann, who proposed that longitudinal bone growth is stimulated by tension and inhibited by compression. The importance of guided growth lies in its ability to address limb malalignment in a more physiological and less i...

Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO) affecting the proximal radius and ulna represent a rare condition with limited documentation in the clinical literature. This study aims to describe a rare presentation of HMO involving the proximal forearm and discusses potential implications for management...

Early, specialized care for pediatric hip dysplasia can mean the difference between a child who grows up active and pain-free-and one who faces surgery, limited mobility, or even early hip replacement. Yet many patients are still diagnosed much later than they should be.

Children frequently experience leg pain due to growing pains, which typically occur at night and resolve the next day. If pain persists or occurs during the day, it may signal issues like muscle strain, bone injury, or arthritis.

Rickets is a condition where a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate leads to soft and weak bones, primarily affecting children. Adults can experience a similar condition known as osteomalacia, causing bone pain and fractures.

A lightweight robotic device that facilitates neuromuscular recovery in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), helping them to stand unassisted, is published in Nature this week. Improved function persists after discontinuing training, demonstrating the potential for enduring recovery.

Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) involving both the hindfoot and midfoot represents a severe form of the disease and is often associated with significant instability, deformity, and an increased risk of ulceration. Although early-stage midfoot CN may be managed conservatively, combined hindfoot-midfoot...
