Surgical Treatment of Late Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Bladder Exstrophy: A Case Report.

Case: We present a case of an 8-year-old boy with classical bladder exstrophy and a neglected right hip dislocation, exemplifying the risk of missed developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in patients with exstrophy requiring careful orthopaedic oversight.

Conclusions: When treating patients with bladder exstrophy, physicians and surgeons should be vigilant not to miss associated DDH. If this condition requires surgical treatment, preoperative planning with computed tomography scans is vital to uncovering the complexities arising from abnormal pelvic and acetabular anatomy and ensuring successful treatment outcomes.

Clinical Diagnosis of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis in a Child With Negative Radiological Findings: A Case Report.

Slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFE) is considered to be a very common disorder among adolescent age group. Multiple risk factors have been reported such as obesity, endocrine disorders, vitamin D deficiency, and panhypopituitarism. The diagnosis of SCFE is important especially in its early stages as this would prevent complications and delay in surgical intervention.

Is the modified Ponseti method effective in treating atypical and complex clubfoot? A systematic review.

Purpose: In 2006, Ponseti modified the standard technique to treat cases of "atypical" and "complex" clubfoot. To determine the outcomes of Ponseti's modified method to treat complex idiopathic clubfoot patients, we asked the following: (1) What is the deformity correction success rate? (2) What is the relapse rate after the correction? (3) What is the incidence of complications?

Materials And Methods: We performed a systematic review by searching the EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from inception to March 1, 2021. All studies on idiopathic, complex, and atypical clubfoot that assessed Ponseti's modified technique were included.

Research activities and critical appraisal skills among Saudi orthopedic residents.

Background: Medical research is a central part of any residency training. In view of the new Saudi orthopedic committee promotion regulation that mandates each resident to participate in a research project, the challenges that stand in the way of completion of substantial research within surgical residency must be investigated. The aim of this study was to assess the practice, attitudes, perception, and limitations associated with research among residents in the Saudi orthopedic program in the central region.

Complications associated with talectomy in paediatric patients: a comparative retrospective study of two surgical techniques.

Background: Studies describing the surgical approaches utilized for talectomy and their associated complications are scarce. We aimed to compare the surgical techniques and associated procedures from two groups of patients who underwent talectomy using two approaches. The main purpose of this study was to describe the complications and recurrence rates associated with each technique.

Functional Outcomes of Talectomy in Pediatric Feet.

Background: Historically, talectomy has been predominantly performed to operatively treat severely rigid equinovarus feet. A limited number of investigators have studied functional outcomes in pediatric patients posttalectomy. We aimed to assess the outcomes of pediatric patients undergoing talectomy using the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and a subjective survey of patients' and their caregivers' satisfaction.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among Saudi orthopedic surgeons: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Studies have addressed the issue of increasing prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) pain among different occupations. However, contributing factors to MSK pain have not been fully investigated among orthopaedic surgeons. Thus, this study aimed to approximate the prevalence and predictors of MSK pain among Saudi orthopaedic surgeons working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Principles of bone and tissue banking in Saudi Arabia: 10-year experience report.

Background: The role of bone and tissue banking is well known to meet the ever-growing need of bone and soft tissue allografts. Strict guidelines have been established to ensure high standard and minimize complications related to bone transplantation.

Methods: The Bone Bank in King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC), affiliated with the Saudi Council of Organ Transplantation, was inaugurated in 2010, and it has since been an integral part of the KFSH&RC organ retrieval team.

Surgical outcomes of open hip reduction with synovectomy for developmental dysplasia of the hip patient with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A case report.

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common hip disorder and its association with other musculoskeletal, genetic, and neurological diseases were well described in the literature. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a rare rheumatological condition, and its presence in a Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) child makes this a very challenging case.

Presentation Of The Case: This case report is describing the presentation of 9 months old girl to orthopedic service referred from the pediatric rheumatology clinic after diagnosing her and starting the treatment for Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Bilateral Valgus Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis in an 11-year-old Girl.

Valgus slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is very infrequent, and it is characterized by a superolateral displacement of the epiphysis on the metaphysis. To date, less than 100 cases of valgus SCFE have been described in the literature. Bilaterality of valgus SCFE is extremely rare, and it presents management challenges to the treating orthopedic surgeons.

Contoured iliac crest allograft interposition for pericapsular acetabuloplasty in developmental dislocation of the hip: technique and short-term results.

Background: Pericapsular acetabuloplasty procedures have been widely used as an integral component of combined surgery to treat developmental hip dislocation after walking age. The stability of the acetabuloplasty and the maintenance of the acetabular correction will depend on the structural integrity of the iliac crest autograft, which, traditionally, has been inserted as the interposition material. Problems related to the use of an autograft have been encountered by various surgeons-including the authors-namely, graft displacement and resorption, which may necessitate internal fixation or result in revision surgery.
