Correction of Femoral Torsional Deformities by Rotational Guided Growth.

: Femoral torsional malalignment is a common cause of in-toeing and out-toeing in children, often leading to gait disturbances, functional limitations, and increased risk of falls. Traditionally, osteotomy was the only surgical option for correction. A minimally invasive technique known as rotational guided growth (RGG) has recently been introduced to address these malalignments.

Pediatric orthopedic surgeons may perform better in terms of surgical outcomes in type 3 supracondylar humerus fractures: a comparative analysis.

Supracondylar fractures of the humerus represent the most common surgical fractures in pediatric patients. There is a discourse regarding the influence of the surgeon training on treatment. Different studies show equivocal effect of subspecialty training.

Mind your pain: A single-arm feasibility study to assess a smartphone-based interoceptive attention training for patients with chronic low back pain.

Objective: People commonly cope with chronic low back pain (cLBP) by ignoring and distraction. Can mindful interoceptive exposure to the pain sensation itself and its phenomenological components be an alternative approach?

Methods: Single-arm feasibility study in patients with cLBP using a 2-minute attention exercise guided by a smartphone app several times per day over 8 weeks. We assessed feasibility, pre/post pain, function, and psychological parameters using mixed methods: standard questionnaires, ecological momentary assessment, and exit interviews that included micro-phenomenology technique and subsequent reflexive thematic qualitative analysis.
