Abstract: Recent literature suggests that sublaminar bands (SB) can provide good coronal plane correction, comparable to pedicle screw constructs, as well as good correction in the sagittal plane, even in patients with preoperative hypokyphosis; comparable results have been reported in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and in...

The ideal treatment for traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder in the skeletally immature patient is controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes after either conservative and/or surgical treatment using the Latarjet technique. A retrospective series of 49 out of 80 patients were reviewed. We found no significant...

Abstract This prospective cohort study investigated radiographic outcomes and complications over time in patients with rigid neuromuscular scoliosis treated with sublaminar bands and Ponte osteotomies. Twenty consecutive patients with neuromuscular scoliosis were treated with sublaminar bands in addition to Ponte osteotomies at and around the...

Infantile and juvenile scoliosis, among different types of spinal deformity, remain still a challenge for pediatric orthopedic surgeons. The ideal treatment of infantile and juvenile scoliosis has not yet been identified as both clinicians and surgeons still face multiple challenges including preservation of the thoracic spine, thoracic cage,...

Various early-onset spinal deformities, particularly infantile and juvenile scoliosis (JS), still pose challenges to pediatric orthopedic surgeons. The ideal treatment of these deformities has yet to emerge, as both clinicians and surgeons still face multiple challenges including preservation of thoracic motion, spine and cage, and protection...

Purpose Displaced proximal humerus fractures within the pediatric population can be treated by elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN). The main objective of our study is to evaluate functional outcome of the displaced proximal humeral fractures treated by ESIN within the pediatric group using a standardized evaluation scale. The secondary...

We report a case of a 15-year-old girl who is a known case for proximal focal femoral deficiency. She underwent several surgical lengthening procedures. Her course was complicated by femur nonunion, knee joint dislocation, stiff knee, and final lower limb discrepancy of over 15 cm. Rotationplasty was performed to salvage her previous surgical...

Background: The hybrid method combines the advantages of the Ponseti technique and of the French Physical Therapy method. The main goal of this study is to present our results on 139 consecutive newborns with clubfoot (n=212 feet) treated at our Institution with the hybrid method. Methods: From May 2010 until August 2020, 139 consecutive...

This study investigated the clinical and radiologic outcomes of lateral humeral condyle (LHC) fractures in children and evaluated the functional outcome of these injuries according to the type of treatment using the Quick DASH questionnaire. Data on consecutive children admitted to the Emergency Department for LHC fracture (01/11–12/18) were...

A fracture is defined as pathological when it arises in a bone tissue that has been modified and reshaped by a local or systemic pathological process. In children, pathological fractures can be secondary to several conditions, ranging from metabolic diseases to tumors, infections or neuromuscular pathologies. History, clinical examination and...

Neuromuscular disorders are a group of diseases affecting the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Children with neuromuscular disorders frequently develop progressive spinal deformities with cardio-respiratory compromise in the most severe cases. The incidence of neuromuscular scoliosis is variable, inversely correlated with ambulatory abilities and...

The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the outcome of displaced humeral shaft fractures in children and adolescents treated by elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) and to evaluate upper extremity function using the Quick-DASH questionnaire. Correction was maintained over time in 14/16 patients. All patients were pain free...
