Factors influencing the complication rate in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures.

The aim of the study was to identify influencing factors on the complication rate in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures (PSHF). 22 male and 19 female patients with an extension type PSHF underwent conservative and operative treatment at a single trauma department and were reviewed retrospectively. The complications were assessed and the groups of patients with and without complications were compared according to patient- and therapy-related factors.

Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation in Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: Growth and Redifferentiation Potential of Chondrocytes Harvested from the Femur in Cam-Type Deformities.

Objective: Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is one of the most frequent reasons for cartilage damage in the hip. Autologous chondrocyte transplantation has proven high success rates in the treatment of focal chondral defects; however, harvesting of chondrocytes in the hip has been reported but not specifically from the region of femoral cam lesions. Therefore, the goal of this study was to analyze the growth and redifferentiation potential of cartilage samples harvested from the cam deformities in patients with FAI.
