Background: Chronic hip dislocation associated with acetabular apophyseal avulsion in adolescence is rare. Whilst superior acetabular rim fractures have a documented theoretical risk of hip instability, we have not found a case of chronic dislocation resulting from this.
Methods: We report a case of a 12-year-old healthy boy who initially sustained a missed right acetabular apophyseal avulsion after falling from a quad bike.
Selective Kirschner wiring for displaced distal radial fractures in children.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the use of plaster immobilization and selective Kirschner (K) wiring in treating displaced distal radius fractures in children.
- A total of 112 fractures were analyzed, most of which were incompletely displaced, with all managed through manipulation under anesthesia followed by plaster immobilization, and some receiving K-wire fixation.
- Results indicated significant improvement in fracture angulation after manipulation, with a low remanipulation rate; perfect reductions were noted in specific injury types, although the initial quality of reduction did not predict redisplacement.
