An original preoperative orthopaedic management of a complex spinal deformity in a 16-year-old patient with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita.

Purpose: Spinal deformities in patients with Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia congenita are particularly challenging to treat. Addressing these deformities requires a holistic surgical strategy. The aim of this case report is to highlight an original preoperative protocol combining atlantoaxial instability stabilization by halo jacket with progressive correction of a thoracic kyphoscoliosis using continuous elongation by tension plaster cast as described by Stagnara.

Reconstruction of isolated hypoplasia of the patella by a modified Galeazzi procedure: a case report.

Background: Isolated Patellar Aplasia Hypoplasia is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder. Its treatment depends on the clinical manifestations that can vary widely. The lack of active extension, which can be responsible for frequent falls due to a knee instability, is the most frequent and disabling manifestation.

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children: Management of pandiaphysitis with extensive bone destruction: A case series of thirteen child.

Introduction: and Importance: Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) poses a public health problem in severe forms from the outset or with delayed diagnosis. The aim of this work is to describe the management of pandiaphysitis with extensive bone destruction by the Ilizarov external fixator and antibiotics and to evaluate the results.

Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional and single-center study.

Ankle sprain injury in child and adolescent: Diagnostic pitfalls.

Introduction And Importance: Sprained ankles in children and adolescents are rare. Certain diagnostic pitfalls must arise in the mind of the clinician because many differential diagnoses must be confirmed or refuted urgently. Among them, the infectious osteoarticular pathology including acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the tibia or distal fibula and septic arthritis of the subtalar joint.

Growing rods for early-onset scoliosis in Ehlers-Danlos disease.

Purpose: To study the results and complications of Traditional Growing Rods (TGR) for the treatment of Early-Onset Scoliosis (EOS) in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).

Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with EDS treated for EOS between 2012 and 2018 by TGR. For each patient, we evaluated the evolution of the Cobb angle of the main coronal curve before the first surgery, postoperatively and at the last follow-up.

Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy in the management of idiopathic flatfoot in children: cCase series of twenty-one feet.

Introduction: Flatfoot is a frequent reason for consultation in pediatric orthopedics. The calcaneal lengthening osteotomy according to the EVANS technique is a therapeutic alternative. The objective of this work was to evaluate the short and medium term clinical and radiological results of calcaneal lengthening osteotomy in children with idiopathic flat foot valgus.

Infected primary hydatid cyst of the right lumbar paraspinal muscles: A rare case in a ten-year-old child.

Introduction And Importance: Most of the time, intramuscular hydatid cysts are secondary. The unusual topographies are a source of diagnostic delay and treatment difficulties. The aim of our case report is to put forward the features of this uncommon presentation and to propose a therapeutic management.

Subacute osteomyelitis of the tibial diaphysis associated with Brodie's abscess: A rare case report of a four-year-old child.

Introduction: Septic osteomyelitis is a hematogenous bacterial bone infection. The acute presentation is the most common; the subacute one is less frequent. The aim of our case report is to put forward the features of this uncommon presentation and to propose a therapeutic management.

Primary subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis of navicular bone: A rare case report in 7-year-old child.

Introduction And Importance: Navicular bone location of primary subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis uncommon. There are few cases reported in literature. We aim to describe the clinico-radiological features of primary subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the navicular bone in a 7-year-old child, to explain our management of this rare disease and demonstrate that medical treatment without surgery is enough.

Isolated tuberculosis of the navicular bone in a child.

Tuberculosis is a topical issue in endemic countries. Foot involvement is rare and accounts for 5-10% of all osteoarticular tuberculosis. Pediatric cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis are uncommon especially in well vaccinated children.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm treated with induced membrane technique: A case report.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm (CPF) is an uncommon entity frequently described in association with neurofibromatosis type 1. Surgical treatment Is required. This is a challenging pathology in pediatric orthopedic surgery due to the difficulty of achieving a satisfying result in terms of bone defect healing.

Management of septic non union and discrepancy of humerus in a child: A case report.

Introduction: The management of large bone defect in the upper limb is fraught with difficulties and problems. It's is a long course treatment which include many components: infection, osseous loosening and shortening.

Case Presentation: We present our experience of an 12-years-old boy with septic non union of the proximal left humerus with length discrepancy of 6 cm treated with Ilizarov fixator(IL) followed by vascularized fibula graft (VFG) with a good clinical result without complications.

The "Patient management problem" as a formative evaluation during the internship.

Introduction: The evaluation of the internship in pediatric orthopedics is based on a clinical examination in the form of ECOS, after the internship period involving all surgical specialties. The validation of the clinical examination test does not necessarily mean that the student has achieved his internship objectives and vice versa. This discrepancy between the evaluation test and the field of the internship prompted us to question the need to establish a formative evaluation method during the clinical internship.

Torticollis as a sign of spinal tuberculosis.

Bone localization of tuberculosis mainly affects the thoracolumbar spine. The cervical spine is rare. Its diagnosis is often late which exposes to great instability and potentially serious complications.

COVID-19 and Management of Orthopedic Emergencies. Producing a Consensus of Experts.

Objective: Report the results of a participatory approach in Tunisian orthopedic surgery, for the development of a consensus of experts, on the identification of the list of pathologies to always be considered as non-postponable emergencies, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Material And Methods: This descriptive study of the opinions of Tunisian experts covered all orthopedic morbidities classified into three homogeneous groups: trauma, infections and tumors of the musculoskeletal system. The attitudes of the interviewees were collected using the "Delphi" method, using a "Google-Form" questionnaire, sent by email to all of the Tunisian university orthopedic surgeons in practice, and registered at the SOTCOT.

Kienböck's disease in an 11-year-old girl: a case report.

Kienböck disease is a pathology that remains uncommon in children, therefore the number of published cases of Kienböck's disease before skeletal maturity is limited. The etiology of Kienböck's disease is still controversial. Although many therapeutic methods are described in the literature.
