Factors Related to Relapse of Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV) After the Ponseti Method.

Background: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is one of the common congenital disorders in pediatric orthopedic practice that affects a large group of children.It is a combination of four parts of deformity that affect either a single foot or both feet. Our aim in this study is to estimate the prevalence and incidence of CTEV and to evaluate the risk factors that lead to relapse in some children to avoid relapse in future and complex surgical interventions, as well as to improve the final outcome.

Child Anxiety, Depression, and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Following Orthopedic Trauma.

Background: Many children and adolescents are exposed to different types of trauma, e.g., abuse or various disasters.

Epidemiology and Pattern of Orthopedic Trauma in Children and Adolescents: Implications for Injury Prevention.

Background: Orthopedic injuries are prevalent in children and can result in hospitalization and damage. The number of accidental injuries among children increases every year, leading to a huge burden on communities and health institutions.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the epidemiological pattern of orthopedic trauma among children and adolescents in Abha, Saudi Arabia.

Perception and Awareness about Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Children among Pregnant Ladies in the Aseer Region, Southwestern Saudi Arabia.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is classified as a group of malformations, varying from abnormal acetabulum (dysplasia) and mild subluxation of the femoral head to fixed displacement (congenital dislocation). This study aimed to assess the knowledge level and its determinants regarding DDH in children among pregnant females in the Aseer region of southwestern Saudi Arabia. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted targeting all pregnant females in the Aseer region between 1 February 2021 and 1 May 2021.

Patterns of Injuries Among Children Diagnosed With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Aseer Region, Southwestern Saudi Arabia.

Background Globally, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder that affects children. In 2011, there was an ADHD diagnosis prevalence of around 8% among children (4-17 years) in the US. ADHD-affected children are more prone to physical injuries such as physical trauma, accidental poisoning, burns, etc.

Simultaneous bilateral single-stage combined open reduction and pelvic osteotomy for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Children older than 18 months with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) for the first time or who do not respond to closed treatment require open reduction with/without acetabuloplasty. We determined whether open reduction and pelvic acetabuloplasty using the Pemberton or Dega technique for both hips simultaneously was well tolerated and offered better outcomes. A total of 140 hips of 70 patients with bilateral DDH were identified.

Occupational injuries among pediatric orthopedic surgeons: How serious is the problem?

In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed all pediatric orthopedic surgeons in Saudi Arabia using an anonymous electronic questionnaire composed of 23 items to identify the rate of occupational injuries and obtain other relevant information. Thirty-nine participants completed the questionnaire (response rate: 83%). Participants who sustained occupational injuries throughout their careers represented 82.
