Case: This is a case of a 6-year-old patient diagnosed with Gorham-Stout disease (GSD), a rare lymphangiogenic skeletal disorder, localized to the left femur. Initial nonoperative treatment with pharmaceuticals and bracing was unsuccessful. We describe a definitive operative treatment with radical femoral resection and a modified rotationplasty technique through a tibiopelvic rotational hip arthroplasty.

- Lateral condyle fractures are a common type of elbow fracture in children, second only to supracondylar fractures, and they can lead to early complications that may result in long-term issues.
- A study analyzed data from patients under 18 who suffered these fractures between 1966 and 2012, with a focus on incidence and long-term outcomes of the injuries.
- Out of 227 identified fractures, 177 had over 10 years of follow-up; complications occurred in 17% of cases with malunion being the most frequent issue, although the type of fracture or treatment did not significantly affect complication rates.
Background: Supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures are common and present with associated nerve injuries in 11% to 42% of cases. Historically, SCH fractures with neurological compromise warranted urgent surgical intervention. A recent study showed that treatment delay is acceptable in patients with isolated anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) injury.

Methods: A retrospective review of AIS patients undergoing PSF surgery was conducted. Hospital LOS, and inpatient and post-discharge opioid use were compared.
The complement system is an important part of innate immunity. Despite its known protective role, the complement system may contribute to increased inflammation and tissue injury in cases where its balanced activation is disrupted. The kidneys have been shown to be largely affected by complement dysregulation.
