There remains considerable debate regarding the optimal management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in skeletally immature patients. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of transphyseal ACL reconstruction in patients with open growth plates. This retrospective study included skeletally immature patients with full-thickness ACL tears and confirmed open physis.

Shoulder injuries, specifically proximal humeral fractures, are uncommon in skeletally immature patients. The anatomic characteristics of the humerus are determined by its ossification development, which is quite particular in the proximal segment where four principal segments have been outlined as fracture components in adults. Hereby, we present the case of an 18-year-old female who suffered a traffic accident that elicited a proximal humeral injury through the physeal line of the anatomical neck, as well as the treatment given and her clinical outcome with an effort to highlight the complexity of the diagnosis and management of this injury given the transitional bone age.

Background: The purpose of this study was to report on 2-year results of vertebral body tethering (VBT), performed under a Food and Drug Administration protocol, to obtain insight into outcomes and complications.
Methods: Forty prospectively enrolled patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who had a Sanders score of ≤4 or a Risser score of ≤2 underwent VBT for curves between 40° and 70°. Surgical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes were reviewed at a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Background: Postoperative knee arthrofibrosis after arthroscopic ligament reconstruction is a serious complication. Among adolescents, risk factors for postoperative arthrofibrosis are not well characterized and the effectiveness of early manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is not well established.
Purposes: To identify risk factors for arthrofibrosis after arthroscopic knee ligament reconstruction in adolescent patients and to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of early MUA.

Case: Stump overgrowth is the most common complication in skeletally immature amputees. Various techniques including capping the amputated stump have been used to prevent it but have been associated with variable rates of recurrence of bony overgrowth. We report a technique of intercalary tibial shortening prophylactically to avoid stump overgrowth in some specific situations in children with traumatic crush injuries of the leg/foot.
