Purpose Of Review: For pediatric osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, 10-24% of cases occur in the upper extremity (UE). Due to delays in presentation and diagnosis, UE infections are often more complex and severe than infections of the lower extremity (LE). This review evaluates the literature from the past 6 years related to pediatric osteomyelitis and septic arthritis of the UE and provides a guide for professionals managing these conditions in children.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence and classification of disability among the population under the Agency for Health Protection of Milan (ATS Milan) from 2018 to 2022, using data from various healthcare sources and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
- The results indicated an increase in disability prevalence from 5.8% in 2018 to 8.4% in 2022, with women generally experiencing higher rates, and significant disparities observed based on age and disability type, particularly in relation to the nervous system and mental functions.
- The study concluded that improving data collection methods could enhance understanding of disability prevalence, which is crucial for effective public health planning and interventions in the region.
