Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) internal fixation is used clinically to treat pathological fractures of bone cysts in children. However, one of the most important complications was removal difficulty. In this study, we aim to analyse the factors which can influence ESIN removal in heale...

Presented results showed low-density spinal fusion constructs achieved comparable curve correction with reduced OR times compared with higher-density constructs for pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis.

First-line treatment for pediatric osteomyelitis is antibiotic therapy; however, surgical debridement may be indicated in patients who have failed initial antibiotic therapy or patients who have an abscess.

Results showed 3.9% of pediatric and adolescent patients who underwent ACL reconstruction developed arthrofibrosis; however, skeletally immature patients had significantly lower rates of arthrofibrosis vs. skeletally mature patients.

The shear fractures of the capitellum are rare fractures in the pediatric population. Their diagnosis is challenging because of the high cartilaginous component of the growing elbow, requiring a high level of clinical suspicion especially in the case of small osteochondral or chondral fragments.

Forearm compartment syndrome (CS) in children is above all a clinical diagnosis whose main cause is traumatic. However, rarer causes such as infection can alter its clinical presentation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes of proximal femoral bone cysts in pediatric patients.We retrospectively analyzed 41 pediatric patients (31 males and 10 females, mean age 7.47 ? 2.67 years, range 2.03-14.67 years) diagnosed with proximal femoral bone cysts treated at a sin...

Cannulated screws are widely used in the treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis, which can be removed after physeal closure on patient's request. This study aimed to analysis the potential risk factors for difficult removal in children with slipped capital femoral epiphysis treated b...

The purpose of this article is to review the basic design features of second-generation total ankle arthroplasty components and to illustrate the normal and abnormal postoperative imaging features associated with such devices. The usefulness of CT in postoperative evaluation will be highlighted.

According to presented results, in-office needle tendoscopy yielded improvements in short-term clinical and functional outcomes for patients with midsubstance chronic Achilles tendinopathy.
