Immobilisation in a collar and cuff with high elbow flexion is a safe and effective treatment option to reduce and immobilise Gartland type II supracondylar fractures.

Introduction: This study aimed to report the proportion of children requiring subsequent surgical intervention, rate of complications and radiologic outcomes following collar and cuff immobilisation with high elbow flexion (>90°) for Gartland type II supracondylar fractures.

Methods: A retrospective case series of consecutive patients aged <18 years with Gartland type II fractures treated at a level 1 trauma centre from December 2020 to April 2023 was conducted. The need for surgical intervention and complications were recorded from electronic clinical notes.

Early Opiate Analgesic Requirements Following Nonsurgically Managed Tibial Fractures in Children.

Background: Many children with tibial fractures are currently being managed as outpatients. It is unclear how much opiates should be prescribed to ensure adequate analgesia at home without overprescription. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for requiring opiates following admission for tibial fractures and to estimate opiate requirements for children being discharged directly from the emergency department (ED).

Acetabular volume and femoral coverage change following Dega-like osteotomy in treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Although Dega's acetabuloplasty has become a commonly used osteotomy, there is still an ongoing debate regarding its impact on the volume and depth of the acetabulum. The purpose of our study was to assess the postoperative images of the transverse acetabular plane and version obtained from developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) patients after a modified Dega osteotomy. We performed a retrospective study of the morphologic indices obtained from the pelvic X-rays and computer tomography (CT) scans of patients with DDH, who were operated in our institution between July 2005 and October 2013, using the modified Dega osteotomy.

Treatment of completely displaced distal radial fractures with a straight plaster or manipulation under anaesthesia.

Aims: The management of completely displaced fractures of the distal radius in children remains controversial. This study evaluates the outcomes of surgical and non-surgical management of 'off-ended' fractures in children with at least two years of potential growth remaining.

Methods: A total of 34 boys and 22 girls aged 0 to ten years with a closed, completely displaced metaphyseal distal radial fracture presented between 1 November 2015 and 1 January 2020.

Preoperative antibiotics for septic arthritis in children: delay in diagnosis.

Purpose: To review the records of 50 children who underwent open joint washout for septic arthritis with (n=25) or without (n=25) preoperative antibiotics.

Methods: Records of 50 children who underwent open joint washout for presumed septic arthritis with (n=25) or without (n=25) preoperative antibiotics were reviewed. 17 boys and 8 girls aged 3 weeks to 16 years (median, 1.

High-energy open tibial fractures in children: treatment with a programmable circular external fixator.

Between 2005 and 2010 ten consecutive children with high-energy open diaphyseal tibial fractures were treated by early reduction and application of a programmable circular external fixator. They were all male with a mean age of 11.5 years (5.

[Assessment of absolute knee joint linear and angular velocity in patients with spastic cerebral palsy after operative treatment of lever arm disfunction deformities--prospective study].

Introduction: Lever arm dysfunction (LAD) deformities in patients with CP are based on imbalanced forces acting in lower limbs during gait. Muscle imbalance results in bone axial deformities, simultaneously magnifying biomechanical disturbances. Goal.

[Idiopathic toe walking (ITW)--normal or pathological?].

Unlabelled: Idiopathic toe walking ITW appears to be a clinical problem in otherwise healthy children after 3 years of age. The definitions includes patients walking on toes permanently and temporally. Goal.

[Pedobarographic evaluation of the foot after Keller's procedure for Hallux valgus and Hallux rigidus].

Hallux valgus and hallux rigidus are common foot deformities. One of possible procedures is Keller's surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of pedobarography for postoperative evaluation of the foot.
