Article Synopsis
  • This study examines the feasibility and safety of using ultrasound (US) guidance for treating septic arthritis in children, comparing it to traditional fluoroscopic guidance.
  • It involved 67 children under various treatments (arthrocentesis or arthrotomy) and monitored them for at least two years, finding no significant differences in hospital stay or clinical outcomes between the two methods.
  • Ultimately, the results suggest that US guidance is a safe alternative to fluoroscopy for such procedures, as it avoids radiation exposure and helps visualize structures not visible on X-rays.

Femoral neck screwing during child development is controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the residual growth of the capital femoral physis after screw fixation. This retrospective study included children aged younger than 12 years treated for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) with a single percutaneous partially threaded cannulated screw.

Introduction: The optimal treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) remains controversial. Surgery has long been considered as the treatment that yields the best outcomes. Some authors now prefer using less invasive options as the primary treatment.

Proximal femoral resection may be proposed to non-ambulatory patients with cerebral palsy and chronic painful hip dislocation. McCarthy's technique confers good results but does not solve the problems related to femoral reascension (bone migration causing painful osseous or cutaneous conflict). We describe a new technique of resection-interposition of the proximal end of the femur which preserves the greater trochanter by an orthogonal osteotomy below the lesser trochanter while maintaining the gluteal-vastus lateralis strut in continuity.

Treatment of acute pediatric Monteggia fractures is still debated. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of strategy based on closed reduction by trans-physeal antegrade elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) of the ulnar fracture. Retrospective analysis of 22 patients (13 boys and nine girls) treated for acute Monteggia fractures between May 2008 and August 2018 was performed.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic inflammatory rheumatism in childhood; microRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed as diagnostic biomarkers. Although joints are the primary targets for JIA, a synovial fluid-based miRNA signature has never been studied. We aim to identify miRNA biomarkers in JIA by comparing synovial fluid and serum samples from children with JIA and septic arthritis (SA).

Background: Malunion of the proximal humerus is common and variably tolerated. Classifications developed for proximal humerus malunion (PHM) rely on standard radiographs, which underestimate bone fragment displacement and lack accuracy. The clinical tolerance of PHM is subjective, and revision surgery is not always necessary.

Purpose: A too-long anterior process of the calcaneus is a common cause of pain and hind-foot instability. Our goal was to evaluate the early results of arthroscopic resection in terms of static foot disorders in children and adolescents.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 11 ft (10 patients).
