An original preoperative orthopaedic management of a complex spinal deformity in a 16-year-old patient with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita.

Purpose: Spinal deformities in patients with Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia congenita are particularly challenging to treat. Addressing these deformities requires a holistic surgical strategy. The aim of this case report is to highlight an original preoperative protocol combining atlantoaxial instability stabilization by halo jacket with progressive correction of a thoracic kyphoscoliosis using continuous elongation by tension plaster cast as described by Stagnara.

Sacral osteoid osteoma mimicking sacroiliitis: A case report in a 12-year-old child.

• Vertebral osteoid osteoma is often diagnosed late because of misleading signs. • CT scan is the most effective radiological examination for the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. • Sacroiliitis is the first differential diagnosis of sacral osteoid osteoma.

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children: Management of pandiaphysitis with extensive bone destruction: A case series of thirteen child.

Introduction: and Importance: Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) poses a public health problem in severe forms from the outset or with delayed diagnosis. The aim of this work is to describe the management of pandiaphysitis with extensive bone destruction by the Ilizarov external fixator and antibiotics and to evaluate the results.

Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional and single-center study.

Ankle sprain injury in child and adolescent: Diagnostic pitfalls.

Introduction And Importance: Sprained ankles in children and adolescents are rare. Certain diagnostic pitfalls must arise in the mind of the clinician because many differential diagnoses must be confirmed or refuted urgently. Among them, the infectious osteoarticular pathology including acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the tibia or distal fibula and septic arthritis of the subtalar joint.

Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy in the management of idiopathic flatfoot in children: cCase series of twenty-one feet.

Introduction: Flatfoot is a frequent reason for consultation in pediatric orthopedics. The calcaneal lengthening osteotomy according to the EVANS technique is a therapeutic alternative. The objective of this work was to evaluate the short and medium term clinical and radiological results of calcaneal lengthening osteotomy in children with idiopathic flat foot valgus.

Structural scoliosis secondary to thoracic osteoid osteoma: a case report of delayed diagnosis.

Purpose: The aim of this case report is to show that late diagnosis of vertebral osteoid osteoma gives rise to structural scoliosis which sometimes requires long-term management.

Methods: We report a case of an osteoid osteoma in the thoracic spine associated with structural scoliosis. We describe a 14-year-old boy who complained chronic nightly left back pain and scoliosis.

Infected primary hydatid cyst of the right lumbar paraspinal muscles: A rare case in a ten-year-old child.

Introduction And Importance: Most of the time, intramuscular hydatid cysts are secondary. The unusual topographies are a source of diagnostic delay and treatment difficulties. The aim of our case report is to put forward the features of this uncommon presentation and to propose a therapeutic management.

Subacute osteomyelitis of the tibial diaphysis associated with Brodie's abscess: A rare case report of a four-year-old child.

Introduction: Septic osteomyelitis is a hematogenous bacterial bone infection. The acute presentation is the most common; the subacute one is less frequent. The aim of our case report is to put forward the features of this uncommon presentation and to propose a therapeutic management.

Primary subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis of navicular bone: A rare case report in 7-year-old child.

Introduction And Importance: Navicular bone location of primary subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis uncommon. There are few cases reported in literature. We aim to describe the clinico-radiological features of primary subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the navicular bone in a 7-year-old child, to explain our management of this rare disease and demonstrate that medical treatment without surgery is enough.

Biogenesis of a Bacteriophage Long Non-Contractile Tail.

Siphoviruses are main killers of bacteria. They use a long non-contractile tail to recognize the host cell and to deliver the genome from the viral capsid to the bacterial cytoplasm. Here, we define the molecular organization of the Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPP1 ~ 6.

Isolated tuberculosis of the navicular bone in a child.

Tuberculosis is a topical issue in endemic countries. Foot involvement is rare and accounts for 5-10% of all osteoarticular tuberculosis. Pediatric cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis are uncommon especially in well vaccinated children.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm treated with induced membrane technique: A case report.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the forearm (CPF) is an uncommon entity frequently described in association with neurofibromatosis type 1. Surgical treatment Is required. This is a challenging pathology in pediatric orthopedic surgery due to the difficulty of achieving a satisfying result in terms of bone defect healing.

Management of septic non union and discrepancy of humerus in a child: A case report.

Introduction: The management of large bone defect in the upper limb is fraught with difficulties and problems. It's is a long course treatment which include many components: infection, osseous loosening and shortening.

Case Presentation: We present our experience of an 12-years-old boy with septic non union of the proximal left humerus with length discrepancy of 6 cm treated with Ilizarov fixator(IL) followed by vascularized fibula graft (VFG) with a good clinical result without complications.

The "Patient management problem" as a formative evaluation during the internship.

Introduction: The evaluation of the internship in pediatric orthopedics is based on a clinical examination in the form of ECOS, after the internship period involving all surgical specialties. The validation of the clinical examination test does not necessarily mean that the student has achieved his internship objectives and vice versa. This discrepancy between the evaluation test and the field of the internship prompted us to question the need to establish a formative evaluation method during the clinical internship.

Torticollis as a sign of spinal tuberculosis.

Bone localization of tuberculosis mainly affects the thoracolumbar spine. The cervical spine is rare. Its diagnosis is often late which exposes to great instability and potentially serious complications.

Kienböck's disease in an 11-year-old girl: a case report.

Kienböck disease is a pathology that remains uncommon in children, therefore the number of published cases of Kienböck's disease before skeletal maturity is limited. The etiology of Kienböck's disease is still controversial. Although many therapeutic methods are described in the literature.

The collagen-like protein gp12 is a temperature-dependent reversible binder of SPP1 viral capsids.

Icosahedral capsids of viruses are lattices of defined geometry and homogeneous size. The (quasi-)equivalent organization of their protein building blocks provides, in numerous systems, the binding sites to assemble arrays of viral polypeptides organized with nanometer precision that protrude from the capsid surface. The capsid of bacterial virus (bacteriophage) SPP1 exposes, at its surface, the 6.
