Article Synopsis
- The study investigates distal tibial valgus deformity in children, which can resemble hindfoot valgus, and evaluates the effectiveness of a specific correction method called medial percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS).
- It aims to analyze correction rates based on different underlying conditions, age at treatment, severity of the deformity, and the association with other foot deformities.
- Results from a retrospective study of 104 children indicate variable correction rates, averaging 0.45° per month, influenced by age, initial deformity, and treatment duration, with a significant prevalence of associated valgus foot deformities (86.4%).
The prevalence of coagulation disorders in patients with upper extremity deep-vein thrombosis (UE-DVT) is unknown due to only a few observational studies of limited size reporting varying results. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of thrombophilia in patients with UE-DVT compared to patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LE-DVT). One hundred fifty consecutive patients (15 to 91 years of age) with UE-DVT were recruited from the MAISTHRO (MAin-ISar-THROmbosis) registry.
