Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the use of vascularized rib grafts (VRG) for treating kyphosis in children after laminectomy and radiation therapy, noting high failure rates in spinal fusions due to compromised bone quality.
- Data from five patients who underwent this treatment showed successful outcomes with complete fusion and no kyphosis progression at follow-up periods of 21 to 63 months.
- Despite one patient experiencing complications, the findings suggest that using VRG can enhance spinal stability and is a viable option for managing post-surgery kyphosis in pediatric patients.
Objectives: To compare outcomes and costs between titanium elastic nails (TENs), stainless steel elastic nails (SENs), and Kirschner wires (K-wires) in the treatment of pediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures with intramedullary fixation.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center.
