Carpal tunnel syndrome and finger deformities in children with mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses: a retrospective review of 52 patients.

This single-centre retrospective study reports our management of carpal tunnel syndrome in 52 children (103 hands) with mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses. All except one were bilateral. The median age at surgery was 4 years (range 1.

Clinical and radiological results of vascularized fibular epiphyseal transfer after bone tumor resection in children.

Introduction: Vascularized fibular proximal epiphyseal transfer associated to a diaphyseal segment is used to treat childhood epiphyseal defect. The aim of the present study was to analyze surgical technique and long-term clinical and radiological results.

Material And Method: Between 1997 and 2008, 7 patients with a mean age of 5.

One-stage circumferential limb ring constriction release and direct circular skin closure in amniotic band syndrome: a 14-case series.

The aim of the present study was to report results of direct circular suture after 1-stage circumferential resection of limb ring constriction in amniotic band syndrome. A multicentre retrospective study included 14 patients with amniotic band syndrome (mean age, 13.3 months) operated on between 2004 and 2019 by circumferential release of ≥1 ring constriction.

Long-Term Results of the "Horseman" Procedure for Severe Idiopathic Flatfoot in Children: A Retrospective Analysis of 41 Consecutive Cases With Mean 8.9 Year Duration of Follow-Up.

The "horseman" procedure is a surgical technique used to correct the talocalcaneal joint displacement of severe idiopathic flatfoot in children while maintaining the reduction with a temporary talocalcaneal screw. While this technique has been used since the early 1960s, very little has been reported on its results. Our objectives were to estimate the correction, functional results, and postoperative complications of the "horseman" procedure.

Bone and joint infections in children. Bone and joint infections in children are diagnostic and therapeutic emergencies. The most frequently isolated bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus and Kingella kingae.

Induced membrane technique for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia: preliminary results of five cases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the two-stage surgical technique combining induced membrane, spongy autograft and intramedullary fixation for the treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT).

Methods: Three boys and two girls were treated by this technique between 2003 and 2008. All patients had type IV CPT in Crawford's classification.

Voluminous arteriovenous malformation of a child's forearm treated by sequential embolizations: case report.

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital lesion with high vascular flow resulting from direct connections between arteries and veins. Its treatment is often complex, and most authors recommend a multidisciplinary approach combining surgical and endovascular treatments. We report the case of a 6-month-old boy with a voluminous AVM of the left forearm inducing osteolysis of the radius, with bowing of its diaphysis and subsequent radial head dislocation.

Recurrence of radial bowing after soft tissue distraction and subsequent radialization for radial longitudinal deficiency.

Purpose: Centralization and radialization are the most widely reported surgical treatments for Bayne and Klug Type III and IV radial longitudinal deficiency. Prior soft tissue distraction has been introduced to improve reducibility of the deformity without skeletal resection. Satisfying long-term effects have been reported with centralization but are still unclear with radialization.
