Introduction: There are few disease-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for use in pediatric limb deformity (LD), with authors instead relying on generic PROMs such as the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) to assess treatment outcomes from the patient's perspective. The purpose of this study was to perform preliminary validation of 2 disease-specific PROMs in pediatric patients with LD.
Methods: LD modifications were created by substituting the word "limb" for "back" in the Early Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire (EOSQ, ages 10 and younger) and the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS, ages 11 to 18) survey, creating the LD-EOSQ and LD-SRS instruments.
Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from 152 patients who had surgical management of cervical TSCI and found that smokers had significantly worse motor outcomes after one year, even after accounting for other factors.
- * Findings emphasize the importance of smoking cessation programs for patients recovering from TSCI to enhance their rehabilitation outcomes and overall recovery.
Purpose: Surgical trauma may confer additional infectious risk after operative fixation for high energy tibial plateau fractures. This study aims to determine the impact of plate number and location on infection rates after these injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study completed at two level one trauma centers included patients who underwent staged fixation for a tibial plateau fracture between 2015 and 2019.
Objectives: To compare infection rates after second-stage definitive surgery for high-energy tibial plateau fractures between groups of patients who had the external fixator prepped into the surgical field and those who did not.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Two academic Level 1 trauma centers.
