Perthes syndrome, or traumatic asphyxia, is a clinical syndrome associating cervicofacial cyanosis with cutaneous petechial haemorrhages and subconjonctival bleeding resulting from severe sudden compressive chest trauma. Deep inspiration and a Valsalva maneuver just prior to rapid and severe chest compression, are responsible for the development of this syndrome. Current treatment is symptomatic: urgent relief of chest compression and cardiopulmonary resuscitation if needed. Outcome may be satisfactory depending on the duration and severity of compression. Prolonged thoracic compression may sometimes lead to cerebral anoxia, irreversible neurologic damage and death. We report a fatal case of Perthes syndrome resulting from an industrial accident.

Article Synopsis
- - The use of recombinant human growth hormone (GHT) in children has grown significantly, with applications expanding from just treating growth hormone deficiencies to a wider range of conditions, increasing threefold over the past 20 years.
- - Despite its benefits, there are rising concerns about safety, especially orthopedic issues like carpal tunnel syndrome and various growth-related diseases, attributed to factors such as hormonal changes and rapid growth associated with GHT.
- - The review emphasizes the need for careful monitoring and coordinated care among pediatricians, endocrinologists, and orthopedic surgeons to minimize risks, and suggests future research to better understand injury patterns and improve clinical guidelines for managing orthopedic injuries in children on GHT.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers aimed to determine the range of acetabular and femoral version in patients before hip preservation surgery, comparing two common measurement methods, and assessing the impact of these differences on clinical factors and outcomes.
- * A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 282 hips in patients with various hip conditions, focusing on those with complete imaging and outcome scores, while excluding certain age groups and other specific factors.
