Article Synopsis
  • Juvenile hallux valgus (JHV) is a painful foot deformity in children, and finding the best treatment approach can be challenging due to varying techniques and timing.
  • A systematic review of existing literature identified 7 articles that explored various growth modulation methods for treating JHV, focusing on outcomes like the correction of specific foot angles.
  • The results showed that these methods led to significant improvements in angles associated with the deformity, suggesting that minimally invasive techniques could be effective, although further research is needed to solidify these findings.*

Background: Traffic in the operating room (OR) create turbulence and contaminates air by bacterial shedding. Therefore, we examined: (1) if the number and duration of door openings were associated with increased particles during arthroplasty surgery; (2) if traffic cameras installed in the operating room were an effective intervention to decrease traffic and particles during arthroplasty surgery; and (3) the effectiveness of traffic camera over time.

Methods: Fifty cases were included between November 3, 2021, and June 22, 2022, with 25 cases in each group.
