Article Synopsis
- The study explores cases of recurrent femorotibial subluxation in pediatric patients, aiming to identify clinical presentations and review existing literature on this rare condition.
- Three cases were examined, involving structured patient evaluations, including physical exams and imaging, leading to findings of joint laxity and no significant anatomical issues.
- Two types of presentation were identified: benign episodes in otherwise healthy children linked to irritability or fever, and severe cases in children with other medical issues requiring surgical intervention.

October 2018
Objective: To understand the mental health treatment gap in the Region of the Americas by examining the prevalence of mental health disorders, use of mental health services, and the global burden of disease.
Methods: Data from community-based surveys of mental disorders in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and the United States were utilized. The World Mental Health Survey published data were used to estimate the treatment gap.
Objectives: We analyzed a probability sample of Guatemalans to determine if a relationship exists between previous violent events and development of mental health outcomes in various sociodemographic groups, as well as during and after the Guatemalan Civil War.
Methods: We used regression modeling, an interaction test, and complex survey design adjustments to estimate prevalences and test potential relationships between previous violent events and mental health.
Results: Many (20.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to define in volunteers a safe area for performing a percutaneous intrasheath first annular (A1) pulley release under ultrasonographic guidance in cadavers for the treatment of trigger fingers.
Methods: First, in 100 fingers of 10 volunteers, we used Doppler ultrasonography to determine the limits of the sectors enclosing structures at risk (arteries and tendons). From the synovial sheath's most volar point, we determined the relative position of the arterial walls and the distance to the flexor tendons.
