We report our hospital-based experience in management strategies and outcomes for pediatric extremity vascular trauma at a major trauma center. A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients under 18 with extremity vascular injuries who had surgery between May 2021 and February 2023. Among 46 children, 16 (34.

Intranasal Outer Cortex Splinting With a Kirschner Wire to Immobilize Reduced Buckle-out Segments in Nasal Fractures.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Kyung Hee University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

High-velocity lateral impacts to the nose sometimes cause nasal buckle-out fractures with a trapdoor buckle-out segment displaced outwards. Prolonged immobilization of a reduced buckle-out segment at risk for outward redisplacement remains challenging. Here we introduce a novel method of intranasal outer cortex splinting with a Kirshner (K)-wire to reinforce the reduced state and prevent outward re-displacement of the buckle-out segment.

Objective: To determine whether patients undergoing a trial of labor with a breech presentation following a failed attempt of external cephalic version (ECV) are at increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single university-affiliated medical center. The study group comprised women with singleton pregnancies at term, categorized into three groups: those who underwent a failed external cephalic version (ECV) and subsequently attempted a trial of breech delivery (Breech-failed-ECV group), those who attempted an assisted vaginal breech delivery without a prior ECV attempt (Breech-no-ECV group), and those with vertex presentation following a successful ECV (Vertex-ECV).

Introduction: One of the key challenges regarding the management of twins involves choosing the optimal mode of delivery, which is strongly influenced by the final presentation of both fetuses. In cases of vertex-nonvertex pregnancies attempting the trial of vaginal delivery, external cephalic version (ECV) is one of possible management options. The main objective of this review was to collect and summarize available data in terms of the application of ECV in the population of nonvertex second twins.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the frequency of non-cephalic presentations seen in routine 36-week ultrasound scans, the effectiveness of external cephalic version (ECV), and cases of spontaneous rotation from non-cephalic to cephalic positions.
  • A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from over 107,000 women with singleton pregnancies to explore the influence of various maternal and pregnancy factors on non-cephalic presentations and ECV success.
  • Results showed that 5.8% of pregnancies had a non-cephalic presentation at the scan, with a small continuous rate of spontaneous rotation, and ECV was attempted in about 25.5% of these non-cephalic cases.
