Achondroplasia is the most common skeletal dysplasia. With the development of new growth-promoting drug treatment for children and adolescents with achondroplasia, multidisciplinary care has become increasingly more important. In addition to orthopedic care, a specialized team comprised of pediatrics/endocrinology, radiology, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, anesthesiology, physiotherapy, psychology and other disciplines is necessary to develop and implement a holistic concept to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by achondroplasia.

- Researchers wanted to understand how often young kids under two get fractures and if they’re from accidents or abuse.
- They looked at various studies from 1946 to 2024 and found that about 5 to 9 kids out of every 1,000 get fractures each year.
- The most common fractures happened in the arm and leg bones, while infants had fewer fractures, mostly in the collarbone.

- Liver transplantation is the primary treatment for end-stage liver disease, but there's limited information on the best imaging practices for monitoring children during the procedure.
- A survey conducted by the European Society of Pediatric Radiology gathered feedback from 22 centers across 11 countries regarding their intraoperative imaging techniques.
- Results showed that all centers use intraoperative ultrasound (US), mainly relying on color Doppler, but there's significant variation in how the ultrasound is conducted, including who operates the equipment and how often imaging is performed.
