Management of Traumatic Nerve Palsies in Paediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures: A Systematic Review.

Up to 12% of paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs) have an associated traumatic nerve injury. This review aims to summarize the evidence and guide clinicians regarding the timing of investigations and/or surgical interventions for traumatic nerve palsies after this injury. A formal systematic review was undertaken in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews and PRISMA guidelines.

Effectiveness of operative versus expectant management on recovery of nerve palsies in pediatric supracondylar fractures: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of operative versus expectant management on recovery of nerve palsies after pediatric supracondylar fracture of the humerus or after surgery for supracondylar fracture of the humerus.

Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common fracture of the elbow in children. These fractures have a high risk of complications from both the trauma itself and the treatment.

Clubfoot deformity in the Solomon Islands: Melanesian Polynesian ethnicity, a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) has a high incidence in the South Pacific, with New Zealand Maori and Polynesian rates of up to seven per 1000 live births, at least five times higher than the Caucasian population. A genetic component is suggested to explain this, however, there is little information regarding the difference of incidence between Polynesian and Melanesian ethnicity in the South Pacific. Our aim was to investigate the effects of ethnicity on the incidence of CTEV in the Solomon Islands, specifically comparing Melanesian and Polynesian ethnicity.
