Surgery may be indicated in treating Madelung's deformity and numerous techniques have been described. This study reports the early clinical and radiological results of a radial biplanar opening wedge osteotomy and modified Darrach procedure, using the excised ulnar head as a trapezoidal bone graft. Between 2000 and 2008, five adult wrists with symptomatic Madelung's deformity underwent surgery. All patients were female, with an average age at surgery of 34 years. Assessment included range of movement, grip strength, DASH scores and radiological imaging. All patients improved both subjectively and objectively with regards to pain, functional range of movement, and appearance at mean follow-up of 55 months (range 14-113). All osteotomies united. One patient required removal of hardware for restricted rotation. This technique provided satisfactory results that are comparable to other studies, and avoids the use of iliac crest bone graft.

Ovarian agenesis (OA) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of one or both ovaries, often associated with chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and structural deformities. The condition is frequently diagnosed in females presenting with primary amenorrhea and delayed sexual development. This case report highlights a unique presentation of bilateral ovarian agenesis in a patient with chromosome X translocation, bone modeling disease, and primary amenorrhea.

Article Synopsis
- - Scheie syndrome is a rare, milder form of mucopolysaccharidosis type I, which primarily affects multiple organ systems and is rarely linked to cancer, with only one prior case of associated brain tumors reported almost 30 years ago.
- - The case presented involves a 10-year-old girl diagnosed with Scheie syndrome, who also developed a brain tumor identified through MRI as a pilocytic astrocytoma, a rare type of brain tumor found in the fourth ventricle.
- - This situation emphasizes the need for careful evaluation of children with mucopolysaccharidoses for potential brain tumors, particularly when they exhibit signs of increased intracranial pressure, as early detection can prevent serious neurological issues.
Pediatric Wrist.
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol
August 2024
Medscanlagos, Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Pediatric wrist injuries pose unique diagnostic challenges due to distinct bone characteristics in children and their diverse injury patterns. The dynamic development of the wrist, marked by changes in bone age and emerging ossification centers, is crucial to evaluate growth and identify potential pathologies. The skeletal composition, rich in cartilage, renders bones relatively weaker yet more elastic, impacting their susceptibility to fracture.
