Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of tendon allograft reconstruction in maintaining pubic stability after iliac osteotomies in patients undergoing bladder exstrophy repair, a condition needing surgical intervention due to pelvic organ issues.
- - Eleven patients, averaging 14 months old, underwent the procedure, followed by a period with external fixators, and their pelvic positions were monitored through scans and X-rays at various times, showing a successful urologic closure across the board.
- - Results indicated that in 9 of the 11 patients, the distance between their pubic bones either stabilized or decreased over an average follow-up of 11 months, suggesting that the reconstruction method is promising for managing pubic symphysis issues post-surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Surgical fixation for pediatric pelvic ring injuries is becoming more common to prevent long-term issues related to pelvic asymmetry.
- Treatment approaches vary based on the specific nature of the anterior and posterior injuries, with understanding unique pediatric bone structures being crucial for effective management.
- Anterior injuries often involve pubic and ramus fractures, while posterior injuries include sacroiliac disruptions, with specific fixation methods like external fixation and iliosacral screws recommended for different types of lesions.
"Coronal Split/Overlap Repair" Patellar Tendon Shortening in Skeletally Immature Patients.

Background: "Coronal split/overlap repair" patellar tendon shortening (PTS) is a technique that is utilized to treat patella alta and can be combined with distal femoral extension osteotomy (DFEO) for the treatment of crouch gait in skeletally immature patients with cerebral palsy.
Description: The patellar tendon is split in the coronal plane. The ventral patellar tendon flap is released from its patellar attachment and is reflected distally over its tibial attachment, exposing a dorsal flap.
Pelvic osteotomies are essential to approximate widened symphysis pubis in the exstrophy-epispadias complex, yet it is unknown which osteotomy type has the greatest effect on pelvic volume. We therefore used virtual surgery to study pelvic volume change with anterior, oblique, and posterior iliac osteotomies. Preoperative CT scans of two cloacal and one classic bladder exstrophy patients were used.
