– Discussion: – pedicle flaps can incorporate a variety of tissues, ranging from skin and subQ fat to essentially a complete finger; – used to provide coverage in areas where tendon (denuded of epitenon), bone (denuded of periosteum), or joints are exposed; – areas that must support tendon grafting or transfers … Read more
– Discussion: – limited angulation will have greater effect on loss of motion than will more distal forearm fractures; – the combination of a proximal radial frx, along with an ulnar shaft fracture is known as a Monteggia equivalent (see pediatric Monteggia frx); – Deforming Forces: – above insertion … Read more
– Discussion: – most commonly presents at 14 to 36-months; – bowleg deformity in children w/ short stature & may indicate skeletal dysplasia; – developmental knee alignment: – normal knee alignment progresses from 10-15 deg of varus at birth to maximal valgus angulation of … Read more
– Discussion: – younger children will tend to have SH II fractures of the epiphysis of the distal phalanx; – older children tend to have SH III fractures. – the main epiphyseal fragment is held in place by the extensor tendon, while the distal fragment is flexed by the … Read more
– SH Type II Frxs: – most common frx in proximal phalanx in pediatric population; – physeal frx occurs due to the proximal attachment of the collateral ligament; – typically the digit has an abducted angulated – some residual lateral angulation in SH II fractures may be … Read more
– See: – Distal Femoral Physeal Fractures – Hip Fractures in Children – IM Nailing of Pediatric Femoral Fractures – Discussion: – commonest site of fracture of the femoral shaft is in its middle third, where normal anterolateral bowing of the diaphysis is at its maximum; … Read more
– See: Adult Olecranon Frx: – Discussion: – secondary ossification centers of olecranon (bipartite olecranon or patella cubiti) should not be misdiagnosed as fractures; – Radiology: – ossification center of olecranon appears at 10 yrs of age & is usually fused to proxomal ulna by age 16 yr; – rarely … Read more
– Discussion: – a benign, self-limiting inflammation or infection of an intervertebral disc space or a vertebral end-plate; – it may represent extension of subacute vertebral endplate osteomyelitis which does not produce a progressive vertebral osteomyelitis; – discitis presents in different ways at different ages; … Read more
