Introduction: Anterior tibial intercondylar eminence fractures (ATIEF) of the knee are rare in children. They are associated with prefracture intraligamental distention of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the subjective and objective clinical results of an arthroscopic surgical technique by suture-fixation of the fracture and tensioning of the ACL through hollowing of the tibial footprint.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed outcomes from 125 patients who had distal femur replacements using the French paradox technique, focusing on implant success and patient functionality over time.
- Key findings indicate low rates of implant failure, with only one case of aseptic loosening after 21 years, although some patients required additional procedures due to wear and other complications.
- Overall, the line-to-line cementation technique showed promising long-term stability and functionality, with a notable patient survival rate over the years.
Epidemiology of spinal fractures in children: Cross-sectional study.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
November 2020
Introduction: Epidemiological studies of fractures of the spine in children are all old, mostly single-centre, with series spanning periods of 5 to 20 years.
Hypothesis: As lifestyle is constantly changing, notably with an increase in sports activities and improvements in the prevention of road and household accidents, epidemiology has likely changed.
Objective: To update the description of spinal trauma in children and adolescents compared to the existing literature.
Can the TrueLok Hexapod System™ be used to accurately correct lower limb deformity in children?

Introduction: Progressive bone lengthening in children can be done using an external fixator, a lengthening nail, or plate with screws. The TrueLok Hexapod System™ (TL-HEX™) is the newest hexapod external fixator on the market. We hypothesized that the TL-HEX™ can accurately correct lower limb deformities in children.

The primary objective of this systematic literature review was to evaluate the incidence of symptomatic cyclops lesion after ACL reconstruction. The secondary objective was to identify risk factors for cyclops syndrome.
