Article Synopsis
- Managing pulseless pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures (PSHF) presents a challenge for surgeons, with this study aiming to assess treatment frequency against the AAOS Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) and the appropriateness of these treatments.
- In a 4.5-year study involving 638 PSHF cases at a level 1 trauma center, only 52 cases showed concern for vascular injury, and out of 18 recommended interventions, only 7 were utilized, with varied appropriateness rankings.
- Despite the variations in treatment adherence to the AUC, no negative outcomes were reported, highlighting the complexity of managing PSHF and the need for ongoing research in treatment guidelines.
Background: Telescopic rods require alignment of 2 rods to enable lengthening. A telescopic rod converts functionally into a solid rod if either rod bends, preventing proper engagement. Our goal was to characterize implant bending as a mode of failure of telescopic rods used in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta in children.

Objectives: To determine whether there is a significant difference in final spinal height achieved, instrumented height, or Cobb angle related to the mean time interval between distractions of dual growing rods.
Summary Of Background Data: Patients were prospectively enrolled in "The Treatment of Progressive Early Onset Spinal Deformities: A Multi-Center Study.

Article Synopsis
- Chondroblastomas are rare, benign tumors often found in the bones of younger patients, typically treated through curettage and bone fillers.
- A case study details a 19-year-old woman who experienced a hip fracture due to an underlying chondroblastoma, leading to a surgical procedure including open biopsy, cryotherapy, and stabilization of the fracture.
- The final diagnosis confirmed the presence of a chondroblastoma, highlighting the need for clinicians to consider such rare lesions in young patients presenting with femoral neck fractures.
