Malignant bone tumours of the lower limb represent the majority of cases in both osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma in the growth period. Surgical treatment represents a key element of treatment. Different localizations and age groups require a differentiated surgical approach. Life and limb salvage are first on the list of treatment goals, followed by functional and cosmetic considerations. This review article delivers and discusses current surgical treatment strategies and outcomes for lower limb malignant bone tumours in children.

Comparison of software-assisted and freehand methods of rotational assessment for diaphyseal tibia fractures.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol

Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, Los Angeles, USA.
Objective: Accurate rotational reduction following tibial shaft fracture fixation is absent in up to 36% of cases yet may be critical for lower extremity biomechanics. The objective of this cadaveric study was to compare the results of freehand methods of reduction with software-assisted reduction.
Methods: Four fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma surgeons attempted rotational correction in a cadaveric model with fluoroscopic assistance (without radiographic visualization of the fracture site) using (1) their method of choice (MoC) and (2) software assistance (SA).

Introduction: Reconstructing large bone defects for lower limb salvage in the pediatric population remains challenging due to complex oncological or septic issues, limited surgical options, and lengthy procedures prone to complications. The vascularized double-barreled fibula free flap is pivotal for reconstructing large bones. In this article, we report our experience with this technique in the surgical management of pediatric tibial bone defects.

Objective: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common knee issue, and hip joint function significantly affects knee health. Gluteus activation exercises are a promising treatment for PFPS. This study aims to investigate the impact of gluteal muscle activation exercises on the muscle involvement and movement patterns of young male patients with PFPS.

Introduction: The widespread adoption of smartphones and wearable technology has introduced innovative approaches in healthcare, particularly in postoperative rehabilitation. These technologies hold significant promise for improving recovery following lower extremity arthroplasty, especially total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite growing interest, the evidence on their effectiveness and long-term impact remains variable.

Background: Medically refractory hypertonia (MRH) within the pediatric population causes severe disability and is difficult to treat. Neurosurgery for mixed MRH includes intrathecal baclofen (ITB) and lumbosacral ventral-dorsal rhizotomy (VDR). Surgical efficacy limitations can be mitigated by combining the two into a multimodal strategy.
