Surgical management of congenital torticollis in children older than 7 years with an average 10-year follow-up.

The aim of the present study is to present the results of the surgical management of late presenting cases of congenital muscular torticollis. Between 1990 and 2010, 31 cases of late presenting congenital muscular torticollis were managed surgically in our department. Postoperatively, head halter traction was applied for 10 days; a cervical brace was applied for 5 weeks, followed by a soft one collar for 3 months.

Open reduction internal fixation of lateral humeral condyle fractures in children. A series of 105 fractures from a single institution.

Lateral humeral condyle fractures account for 17 % of the distal humeral condyle fractures. Displaced and/or rotated fractures require appropriate reduction and stabilisation. There are, however, a number of controversies in the surgical management of these patients.

Pediatric Monteggia fractures: a single-center study of the management of 40 patients.

Introduction: Early identification and conservative management of pediatric Monteggia fractures has been shown to correlate with good results. Nevertheless, several authors advocate more aggressive management with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for unstable fractures. We herein present the experience of a tertiary pediatric hospital in the management of Monteggia fractures.
