Pediatric fracture reduction in the emergency department.

Limb fractures are a large part of pediatric trauma activity. Conservative treatment is possible because of children's bone remodeling potential. In case of displaced fractures, when a closed reduction can be done in the emergency room (ER), this avoids general anesthesia, hospitalization and the associated costs.

Surgical Treatment of Subfibular Ossicle in Children: A Retrospective Study of 36 Patients with Functional Instability.

Backgrounds: To evaluate the surgical management of a symptomatic subfibular ossicle after severe ankle sprain with functional instability and pain sequelae in children.

Methods: We analyzed 36 patients complaining of functional instability without laxity, 1 year after an ankle inversion trauma associated with the observation of a subfibular ossicle. We systematically suggested the open excision of the residual ossicles, followed by 6 weeks of immobilization and proprioceptive physiotherapy.

Aluminum and iron can be deposited in the calcified matrix of bone exostoses.

Exostosis (or osteochondroma) is the most common benign bone tumor encountered in children and adults. Exostoses may occur as solitary or multiple tumors (in the autosomal syndromes of hereditary multiple exostoses). Exostoses are composed of cortical and medullary bone covered by an overlying hyaline cartilage cap.
