Morphology, Development and Deformation of the Spine in Mild and Moderate Scoliosis: Are Changes in the Spine Primary or Secondary?

Introduction And Aim Of The Study: We aim to determine whether the changes in the spine in scoliogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis (IS), are primary/inherent or secondary. There is limited information on this issue in the literature. We studied the sagittal profile of the spine in IS using surface topography.

Derotational Subtrochanteric Osteotomy and External Fixation for the Treatment of Neurogenic Hip Dislocation in Children with Cerebral Palsy: Could This Be a Viable Method of Treatment?

Purpose The treatment of painful and chronic dislocated hip in children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) is particularly demanding and controversial. Numerous surgical techniques have been described, and their outcomes vary a lot. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate a new method, which combines varus derotational subtrochanteric osteotomy (VDSO) and external osteosynthesis: (VDSOEO).

Salmonella Osteomyelitis of the Proximal Tibia in a Previously Healthy Adolescent: A Case Report.

Salmonella osteomyelitis is an uncommon pathological condition. Usually, it is associated with hemoglobinopathies or other underlying disorders. Osteomyelitis due to Salmonella is extremely rare in a previously healthy patient.

Truncal changes in children with mild limb length inequality: a surface topography study.

Background: Limb length Inequality (LLI) in children and adults may affect posture, gait, and several truncal parameters, and it can cause spinal scoliosis. In literature, however, there is a paucity of assessment of truncal and spinal changes due to mild LLI in children. This report presents children with LLI, and it aims to provide information in pelvic imbalance, spinal posture, and scoliotic curve, using surface topography analysis which is a novel methodological approach for this condition.

Pathological Hip Fractures in Children and Adolescents Due to Benign Tumor or Tumor-Like Lesions.

Hip fractures are uncommon in childhood and adolescence. A high-energy injury is the most common cause. Low-energy trauma may result in a pathological hip fracture or stress fracture of the femoral neck, on the grounds of a preexisting skeletal disease, a tumor, or a tumor-like lesion.

Minimally invasive procedures.

Minimally invasive procedures, which include laparoscopic surgery, use state-of-the-art technology to reduce the damage to human tissue when performing surgery. Minimally invasive procedures require small "ports" from which the surgeon inserts thin tubes called trocars. Carbon dioxide gas may be used to inflate the area, creating a space between the internal organs and the skin.
