Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of junior and senior orthopaedic surgery residents in treating pediatric distal radius fractures (DRFs) through closed reduction and casting.
- The results showed that both junior and senior residents had similar success rates in achieving acceptable initial reductions, with 82% and 79% success, respectively, and a comparable rate of loss of reduction.
- However, first-time reductions during a rotation were linked to a higher risk of losing the correction, indicating that new residents should receive extra supervision early on.
Risk Factors for Failed Closed Reduction of Pediatric Distal Radius Fractures.

July 2020
Purpose: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are common pediatric injuries typically treated with closed reduction and casting. A substantial number of these fractures fail nonsurgical management, occasionally requiring surgical intervention. Risk factors associated with an unsuccessful initial closed reduction (UIR) attempt or loss of reduction (LOR) after a successful closed reduction remain poorly characterized.

Recent Findings: Recent studies include a proposed embryologic link between preaxial polydactyly and other congenital abnormalities, an evaluation of long-term postsurgical outcomes, and an examination of important predictors for postsurgical outcomes. Preaxial polydactyly, while relatively uncommon, is a complex congenital hand abnormality that requires careful preoperative classification and proper surgical intervention timing to yield optimal outcomes.
Background: The epidemiology of brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP) in the United States may be changing over time due to population-level changes in obstetric care.
Methods: The Kids' Inpatient Database from 1997 to 2012 was analyzed. Annual estimates of BPBP incidence and disease determinant distribution were calculated for the general population and the study population with BPBP.
Objectives: To determine if high body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of loss of reduction (LOR) following closed reduction and casting for displaced concomitant fractures of the radial and ulnar shafts in pediatric patients.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: A single, tertiary care, urban children's hospital.
Objective: To characterize the relationship between 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) bench press strength and isometric handgrip strength among breast cancer survivors.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Laboratory.
