Arthroscopic debridement and reduction is an effective procedure for failed closed reduction in young children with developmental dislocation of the hip.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of arthroscopic debridement and reduction through two medial portals for the treatment of developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) with failure of initial closed reduction and to explore key pathological structures obstructing reduction.

Methods: Forty-eight children with 58 irreducible dislocated hips treated by arthroscopic reduction between January 2017 and December 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Arthroscopic reduction was performed via two medial portals located in the superior and inferior adductor longus.

Arthroscopically assisted closed reduction for displaced lateral humeral condyle fractures over 4 mm in children.

Introduction: Lateral humeral condyle fractures (LHCFs) are the most common intra-articular fracture occurring at the elbow in children. Conventional treatment for displaced pediatric LHCFs is open reduction and percutaneous pinning, and few studies have regarded the efficacy of arthroscopic-assisted techniques. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anatomic reduction via elbow arthroscopy for pediatric humeral lateral condyle fractures with displacements >4 mm.

Effect of Antidiabetic Therapy on Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: No study has yet systematically evaluated the effect of antidiabetic therapy on clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of different antidiabetic therapy on clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients with T2D.

Methods: We comprehensively retrieved the published research which examined the effect of antidiabetic therapy on clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients with T2D.

A Comparative Study on Closed Reduction vs. Open Reduction Techniques in the Surgical Treatment of Rotated Lateral Condyle Fractures of the Distal Humerus in Children.

Objective: The best approach between closed reduction and open reduction in the treatment of total displaced and rotated LCFs is still being debated. This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of closed reduction vs. open reduction in the treatment of displaced and rotated lateral condyle fractures in children.

Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning in the Treatment of Humeral Distal Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal Junction Fractures in Children: A Technique Note and Preliminary Results.

The metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction (MDJ) fracture is an uncommon but problematic type of fracture occurring at the distal humerus in children. Closed reduction and fixation are challenging and may not be possible with the conventional reduction maneuver utilized in supracondylar fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) technique for the treatment of these fractures.

Clinical significance of imaging findings for atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation in children.

Background/aim: This study evaluated the usefulness of measuring the atlantodental interval (ADI) and lateral atlantodental spaces (LADSs) by retrospectively analyzing the imaging data of children of various ages with and without atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS). Materials and methods: The data of 495 children who underwent cranial computed tomography were collected. Among these children, 255 children were clinically diagnosed with AARS while 240 children were not.

Percutaneous autologous bone marrow transplantation for the treatment of delayed union of limb bone in children.

Background And Purpose: Percutaneous autologous bone marrow transplantation (PABMT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic strategy for the treatment of delayed bone union in adults, which has been confirmed by many studies. However, there is no report on PABMT application in pediatric orthopedic surgery. The aim of this article was to analyze the therapeutic effect of PABMT in children with delayed union of limb bone and its influence in relation to delayed bone union therapy, transplantation period, patients' sex, fracture location, and fracture fixation.
