A growing number of pediatric orthopedic patients fall into two dissimilar groups: the obese patient with problems related to obesity, and the young athlete injured during sports. While there is widespread recognition of pediatric orthopedic diseases related to obesity, the injuries resulting from "overuse" or over participation in sports are less understood and recognized. The majority of athletes involved in team sports in the Unites States are grade school and interscholastic athletes. The motivation for participation in sports varies greatly. Young athletes at risk for injury include the reluctant athlete who is not in the aerobic condition necessary to participate in sports, the eager athlete who initiates participation too vigorously, and the ambitious athlete who chronically "overtrains".

Clinical Significance of MRI-Based Measurements of Tibial Plateau Widening Width and Joint Fluid Volume During Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries Among Patients With Tibial Plateau Fractures.
Ann Ital Chir
March 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Mianzhu People's Hospital, 618200 Mianzhu, Sichuan, China.
Aim: This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based tibial plateau widening width (TPW) and joint effusion volume during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries among patients with tibial plateau fractures.
Methods: This retrospective study collected clinical data from 100 patients with tibial plateau fractures admitted between February 2022 and February 2024. The findings from arthroscopy or surgical intervention served used as the "gold standard".
Are racial and ethnic disparities in brachial plexus birth injuries explained by known risk factors?
J Perinatol
March 2025
Professor in Residence, Department of Pediatrics, University of California Davis, Sacramento, CA, USA.
Objective: To investigate the association of maternal race/ethnicity with risk factors for brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) and quantify the proportion of excess BPBI risk due to these factors.
Study Design: This retrospective cohort study of all livebirths occurring in California-licensed hospitals from 1996-2012 included 6,278,562 maternal-livebirth infant pairs with 7762 BPBI diagnoses. Multiple logistic regression and causal mediation analyses were used to evaluate the relationship of race/ethnicity and BPBI risk factors.
Availability, effectiveness and safety of cadaveric and fresh allogeneic skin grafts in pediatric burn care-a review.
Cell Tissue Bank
March 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Medical Center Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Theodor-Kutzer-Ufer 1-3, 68167, Mannheim, Germany.
Burn injuries in children are a critical public health issue with significant mortality and morbidity. Allogeneic skin grafts, both cadaveric and freshly donated, have been utilized in pediatric burn care since many years, yet their efficacy and safety remain to be systematically assessed. This systematic review (PROSPERO number: CRD42024560654) analyzed studies from 01/2000 to 07/2024 sourced from PubMed.

Pediatr Radiol
March 2025
Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, No. 36 Sanhao Street, Shenyang, 110004, Liaoning, China.
Background: The Tönnis classification is widely used to quantify the severity of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) based on the epiphyseal ossification center, while the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) has proposed an alternative system. However, the pathological morphology associated with these classifications remains inadequately defined.
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the correlation between the Tönnis classification and the IHDI classification with the pathological morphology of cartilage and soft tissues in DDH.
Exploring FAM13A-N-Myc interactions to uncover potential targets in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma: a study of protein interactions and molecular dynamics simulations.
BMC Cancer
March 2025
Institute of Pediatric Research, Children's Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, 215003, China.
Neuroblastoma (NB), a common infantile neuroendocrine tumor, presents a substantial therapeutic challenge when MYCN is amplified. Given that the protein structure of N-Myc is disordered, we utilized Alphafold for prediction and GROMACS for optimization of the N-Myc structure, thereby improving the reliability of the predicted structure. The publicly available datasets GSE49710 and GSE73517 were adopted, which contain the transcriptome data of clinical samples from 598 NB patients.
