Femoral fractures and abuse in children under 36 months old: a Swiss case series.

Abuse should be suspected in infant femoral fractures without significant trauma, especially if the child is non-ambulatory. Review the epidemiological and radiological characteristics of femoral fractures in children under 36 months old to identify those potentially related to child abuse. Cases involving 102 patients presenting with 103 femoral fractures between January 1990 and December 2020 were investigated, paying close attention to mechanisms of injury, fracture patterns, and their possible relations to child abuse.

A retrospective epidemiological cohort study of ankle fractures in children and teenagers.

Background: Ankle fracture is one of the most frequent pediatric lower-limb fractures and may result in serious complications.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the epidemiology of ankle fractures, defining fracture types, treatments, and complications in a pediatric population below 16 years old.

Methods: Medical records of all the ankle fracture patients treated in our hospital during 2004-2020 were retrospectively reviewed.

First genetic characterization of Xeroderma pigmentosum in Libya: High frequency of XP-C founder mutation.

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a high sensitivity to UV radiations. The disease is clinically and genetically heterogeneous, thus making accurate early clinical diagnosis difficult. Although the disease is considered rare worldwide, previous studies have shown that it is more frequent in Maghreb countries.
