Background: Results of limb lengthening in patients with achondroplasia were previously reported in many studies. However, the reports of comparison among the three long bones (femur, tibia, and humerus) are rare, especially for the results of crossed lengthening (lengthening of one femur and contralateral tibia followed by that of the opposite side) for the lower limbs. The purpose of this study was to report the surgical results of a series of limb lengthening in achondroplastic or hypochondroplasia patients at our institution.

Article Synopsis
- Pathologic fractures of the femur due to metastasis significantly increase mortality in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but early mortality factors post-surgery remain unclear.
- This study analyzed 126 patients from 2010 to 2014, focusing on various clinical and laboratory factors to determine their association with mortality at 1 and 3 months post-surgery.
- Key findings reveal that an intertrochanteric fracture location and lower serum albumin levels increase mortality risk, while suitable chemotherapeutic agents lower it; certain surgical procedures and elevated blood counts also correlate with higher death risk within the 3-month timeframe.
Background: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFEs) can be idiopathic or atypical (associated with renal failure, radiation therapy, and endocrine disorders). It is important to estimate the likelihood that atypical SCFE shows different clinical and radiographic characteristics and complications with typical SCFEs.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 53 patients (66 hips) with SCFEs managed between 1995 and 2016.
