[Scoliosis surgery in patients with myelomeningocele].

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes and complications in patients with myelomeningocele who have undergone spinal fusion for neuromuscular scoliosis.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of 40 consecutive patients with myelomeningocele with neuromuscular scoliosis who underwent spinal arthrodesis, treated at our center between July 1991 and July 2028.

Results: Mean follow up was 10 years.

Management of NF-1 dystrophic scoliosis associated with rib heads dislocation into the spinal canal in neurological intact patients: a systematic literature review.

Purpose: The management of scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis in patients with Type 1 Neurofibromatosis (NF-1) among spinal surgeons is still challenging due to the severity of the deformity especially in dystrophic deformity types. This rapid and progressive condition is likely to be associated with dislocated rib heads into the spinal canal, hence representing a real dilemma on the decision making between its resection versus not resection during the corrective surgery, especially in patients with normal neurological status. The objective of this publication is to discuss the management options in this patient population through a literature review.

[Isolated elbow dislocation in pediatric patients: non-operative treatment and complications associated with an infrequent pathology. Series of 4 cases].

Even though the elbow is the most often dislocated joint in children, this injury accounts for 3-6 % of elbow pathology. Dislocations without associated fractures are extremely rare. They result from a fall onto an outstretched hand.

Atmospheric constraints on δO and -excess in precipitation at the middle latitude in the southwestern Atlantic region.

The mid-latitude coastal area at the western South-Atlantic out of the tropics is under the combined effect of different atmospheric circulation patterns at different temporal scales, which can be shown by the isotope composition of precipitation. This pattern effect is more changing and complex than that for the well-studied tropical areas, the isotope studies being an interesting proxy for identifying major processes. This study is focused on the isotope composition of precipitation at a mid-latitude zone, in the western South-Atlantic coastal area of Argentina.

[Isolated irreducible anterior radial head dislocation in a child: a rare case report].

Anterior radial head dislocation in pediatric population is related to Monteggia fracture-dislocations. Isolated radial head dislocation is uncommon. Sometimes, radial head dislocation becomes irreducible.
