Background: Anterior distal femoral hemiepiphysiodesis (ADFH) using 2 percutaneous screws is an effective technique for the treatment of fixed knee flexion deformities in children with neuromuscular disorders. The role of sagittal screw position on the outcome of the procedure is unknown.
Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent ADFH at a single pediatric hospital from 2013 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Intravenous injections are common in healthcare but can lead to serious complications, such as needle fragment breakage, especially among drug users.
- A case is presented involving a drug user who broke a needle during injection and sought medical help within 2 hours.
- The broken needle was retrieved successfully, emphasizing the need for emergency treatment and the immediate application of a tourniquet in similar situations.
Background: The relationship between femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and inflammatory medical comorbidities has not been established in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of inflammatory conditions in pediatric patients with FAI and the morphology of the associated deformity.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 90 patients who were diagnosed with FAI in our institution's adolescent hip clinic from January 2016 to March 2018.
Limited evidence is available on mid-term follow-up for patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 receiving a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The primary objective of this study was to investigate survival of the UKA in patients with BMI ≥ 40. Secondary objectives were to assess functional and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).
