Introduction: Among operatively treated pediatric forearm fractures, many different fixation constructs are described. The goal of this study was to define the biomechanical properties of a double stacked 1/3 tubular plate construct used by the senior author for some fractures and to review available literature regarding the use of stacked plates.
Methods: Biomechanical testing was performed by 4-point bending of three different plate constructs: 1/3 tubular plate, stacked 1/3 tubular plates, and 2.
Case: We describe a case of posterior hip dislocation in a 13-year-old boy after a contact football injury with attempted closed reduction resulting in complete separation of the epiphysis from the femoral neck metaphysis with associated femoral head fracture and posterior dislocation of the femoral head. Treatment was emergently performed with a greater trochanteric osteotomy, open reduction internal fixation using cannulated screws, and additional small diameter drill holes in the femoral head to promote blood flow. The patient did well postoperatively and at over 4 years follow-up had no evidence of avascular necrosis and returned to full athletics participation.

Objective: To delineate a curve threshold where further delay of surgery significantly increased the risks for patients with cerebral palsy (CP) scoliosis.
Summary Of Background Data: Two approaches exist in the management of CP scoliosis: a proactive one where surgery is recommended once there is a risk of progression (Cobb > 50°) and a reactive one where surgery is recommended after the patient/caregiver may have significant challenges caused by a large deformity.
