Background: Distal radial physeal fractures with volar displacement are rare. Several methods of operative treatment include volar plate without inserting distal screws, percutaneous technique using two anterior skin incisions and reversed Kapandji technique with pins introduced through a posterior approach and locked at the anterior cortex of the fracture.
Methods: We report three cases along with a literature review of the surgical techniques described in the past and a novel surgical technique for this uncommon fracture termed "Volar Kapandji".
Results: All patients had anatomic reduction at the last follow-up radiography, and all patients had a full range of motion and VAS 0 at the last follow-up. No complications were recorded.
Conclusions: This case study presents the minimally invasive option for treating rare cases of physeal distal radius fractures with volar displacement.
Level Of Evidence: V.

Outcomes After Salter-Harris II Distal Tibia Fractures in Children.
Children (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals, Oakland, CA 94609, USA.
Background/objectives: Salter-Harris II (SH-II) distal tibia fractures are the most common physeal ankle fractures in children; however, indications for surgical management remain controversial, and patient-reported outcomes for different management strategies are unknown. The purpose of the current study is to compare differences in clinical and patient-reported outcomes following operative and non-operative management of this injury.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients who were treated at a single institution for SH-II distal tibia fractures between 2013 and 2020.
Distal Humerus Physeal Separation: Diagnostic Challenges and Implications.
Cureus

Distal humerus physeal separation is an uncommon and often misdiagnosed injury in infants and young children, frequently resulting in delayed treatment. We report three cases of distal humerus physeal separation that presented with different clinical scenarios with different management approaches. The first case describes a nine-month-old girl who was initially treated for presumed elbow cellulitis before presentation to our centre six weeks later.

Objectives: To explore outcomes after tibial rigid intramedullary nailing (RIMN) in skeletally immature patients, with a focus on post-operative complications and iatrogenic changes in tibial slope due to anterior physeal arrest.
Methods: Design: Retrospective case series.

Introduction: Proximal phalanx fractures in children, especially mid-diaphyseal fractures, can result in malunion and significant functional impairment. Early malunions require prompt and effective intervention to prevent long-term complications. This case study highlights the use of intramedullary headless compression screw (IMHCS) fixation in addressing a proximal phalanx malunion.
