Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based algorithm for the management of symptomatic bipartite patella in the pediatric and adolescent population based on a systemic review of the published literature.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines on PubMed and Embase, selecting for studies discussing the management of symptomatic bipartite patella.
Results: Five studies met criteria, involving 315 knees (314 patients, average age 15.
Article Synopsis
- * A survey gathered insights from members of various orthopedic organizations, with a response rate of 26%, asking them to rank important factors in radiographic assessment during different visits for AIS.
- * The results showed that the Cobb angle was deemed the most critical radiographic measure, with a preference for certain X-ray positioning; key indicators for preoperative visits included sagittal contour and skeletal maturity assessments, with most respondents favoring bending films for flexibility studies.
Purpose: The management of odontoid fractures in adult patients has been widely described. However, there is sparse literature about this injury in the pediatric population. This study aimed to review published literature regarding the management and outcomes of pediatric odontoid fractures to develop a stepwise treatment algorithm.

This study validates a novel THV approach that uses educational videos and an instructional datasheet, enabling parents to use smartphones to measure their child's scoliosis at home or in telehealth settings.
Methods: We identified a prospective cohort of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) scheduled for follow-up care from March to July 2021.
Article Synopsis
- Scurvy, once considered rare due to better nutrition, is seeing an increase in incidence among pediatric patients, with noticeable orthopedic issues and links to other conditions like autism.
- A study analyzed over 19 million pediatric records from 2016-2020, finding that scurvy cases grew significantly, affecting younger males from lower-income backgrounds more often.
- Clinicians are urged to consider scurvy in patients with unexplained musculoskeletal symptoms, especially if they exhibit common risk factors.
