Background: In patients with untreated scoliosis or in those with posterior spinal instrumented fusion (PSF), the movements of neither the thoracic cage (ThC) nor the abdomen (ABD) during quiet and deep breathing have been well defined in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate kinematic variations in the ThC and ABD during...

Trunk movements during quiet and deep breathing in untreated and in operated patients with scoliosis are not well defined. To evaluate sagittal and transverse plane cross-sectional variations of the trunk during quiet and deep breathing by optical reflective motion analysis (ORMA) in children with scoliosis. Twenty-one patients were divided...

a b s t r a c t Background: Open reduction with or without pelvic and femoral osteotomy is the accepted treatment option for children older than 18 months with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH). However, few studies have investigated hip function in children with late DDH treated by open reduction. Therefore, we performed a...

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to evaluate (1) the probability to achieve normal pelvic radiographs in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) treated by closed reduction and (2) the amount of time needed to achieve normal pelvic radiographs and to assess what factors influence both probability and time to achieve normal...
