There is no one large study on pediatric shoulder instability. The purposes of this study were to characterize patients with shoulder subluxation or dislocation, the treatments provided, outcomes, and the predictors of good outcomes. Seventy shoulders in 66 patients were retrospectively reviewed, all with follow-up >2 years. The authors defined characteristics, treatment, outcomes, and associations between patient and treatment variables and outcome measures. Instability was associated with boys, adolescents, and trauma. Forty-two shoulders received physical therapy, and 28 required surgery. At follow-up, 54 of 70 described their shoulders as "better" or "much better," and 90% were performing at the same or higher levels of sports and work. Surgically treated patients were less likely to have recurrent instability or to report limitations. The current study is a large study of pediatric shoulder instability. Surgery improved stability, but overall, stability improved over time, with few patients having limitations at moderate- to long-term follow-up.

Background: Humeral capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions can be challenging to treat. Past studies have demonstrated grafting with extracellular matrix with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (ECM-BMAC) to be a viable technique for treatment of talar dome OCD, though little literature exists regarding application of this technique to the capitellum. This study aimed to report patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and return to sport (RTS) of pediatric patients at ≥1-year postoperatively who underwent ECM-BMAC grafting for capitellar OCD lesions.

: Previous works on the epidemiology of pediatric trauma during the COVID-19 lockdown observed a decrease in pediatric surgical emergency consultations and fracture referrals. None of those works describes a unique situation in which there is the coexistence of another opposing factor, like an earthquake, that influences the number of injured children's referrals. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of earthquakes during the COVID-19 lockdown on pediatric injury pattern referrals at a tertiary care hospital in a urban setting.

Sprengel's Deformity (SD) is a rare condition of the shoulder girdle, appearing as the principal congenital anomaly of the shoulder in paediatric patients. The aim of this study is to document the combined experience of two paediatric orthopaedic departments in managing SD using the modified Green Procedure, with a specific emphasis on the clinical and functional outcomes reported by patients; Methods: from June 2010 to February 2023, 42 shoulders in 40 paediatric patients were surgically treated for SD at two paediatric orthopaedic departments. All patients were treated using the modified Green Procedure with or without clavicle osteotomy.

Background: Sprengel deformity is a rare congenital malformation of the scapula defined by malposition during embryonic development. Affected individuals have limited range of motion of the shoulder and torticollis. Surgical reconstruction is an option to treat patients with severe deformity and functional impairment.

Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine, Departments of Pediatrics, Johns Hokins University School of Medicine, 200 N. Wolfe St., Room 2077, Baltimore, MD, 21287, USA.
Background: We have noted that some adolescents and young adults with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) report difficulty with arms-overhead activities, suggestive of brachial plexus dysfunction or thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). In the TOS literature, diagnostic maneuvers focus on the provocation of upper limb symptoms (arm fatigue and heaviness, paresthesias, neck and upper back pain), but not on elicitation of systemic symptoms.
Objectives: To estimate the proportion of patients with fatiguing illness who experience local and systemic symptoms during a common maneuver used in evaluating TOS-the elevated arm stress test (EAST).
