Comparative Effectiveness of Closed Reduction With Percutaneous Pinning and Open Reduction With Internal Fixation in the Operative Management of Pediatric Type III Supracondylar Fractures.

Background Supracondylar fracture with total displacement is classified as Gartland type 3. The operative management for this type of fracture can be closed reduction with percutaneous pinning (CRPP) or open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF). This study aims to determine whether CRPP or ORIF led to smaller changes in Baumann's angle, the carrying angle, loss of motion, and complication when treating pediatric supracondylar fractures.

A Retrospective Cohort Study Comparing the Outcomes of Conservative Versus Operative Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures in Children.

Objectives Distal radius fractures are common pediatric orthopedic injuries accounting for 25% of all fractures with a significant incidence in the age group 10-14 years. This study aims to evaluate the operative and non-operative methods of treating distal radius fractures in children. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study conducted on 176 children with distal radius fracture.

Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma (JPOF) of Proximal Radius: A Rare Entity.

Background: Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) is a rare fibro-osseous lesion that usually occurs in the facial bones. The pathognomonic histopathologic feature is the presence of spherical ossicles, which are similar to psammoma bodies. It is considered to be a unique lesion because of its reported tendency to occur in children and adolescents and its tendency for locally aggressive growth.

Hemangioma of the radius associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome: case report and literature review.

The Kasabach-Merritt syndrome of consumptive coagulopathy associated with massive hemangiomas is a potentially life-threatening problem in patients with a pathologic fracture of the osseous lesion. This can result in massive bleeding even after minor trauma. In such patients, operative management of long bone hemangiomatous lesions, including percutaneous needle aspirations, may be contraindicated, and nonoperative management may be preferable.

Efficacy of aprotinin in reducing blood loss in spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis.

Aprotinin is a proteinase inhibitor with antifibrinolytic properties that has found widespread application during cardiac surgical procedures due to its ability to decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements. Recently it has been used by orthopedic surgeons in hip replacement and other major surgeries except for scoliosis surgery, which is known to be associated with major blood loss. To evaluate the effect of aprotinin in reducing blood loss during spinal fusion surgery for idiopathic scoliosis, a double-blind randomized prospective clinical study was performed.

Surgical management of chronic lateral ankle instability in adolescents.

Chronic lateral ankle instability in adolescents is an infrequent result of either an acute or recurrent ankle inversion injury. The majority of these patients improve with nonoperative management. Numerous surgical interventions have been proposed when nonoperative management is ineffective.
