This study sought to define the frequency of radiographically apparent tarsal coalitions among a cross-section of a population not seeking care for foot symptoms.

Progressive symphyseal diastasis may cause pelvic organ prolapse in females and penile retraction in males. This study assesses the results of tendon allograft symphyseal reconstruction for maintaining pubic approximation with iliac osteotomies in exstrophy repair.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Eleven consecutive patients had symphyseal reconstruction with delayed exstrophy repair, 7 classic bladder exstrophy, 2 cloacal exstrophy, and 2 exstrophy variants. There were 4 males and the average age at surgery was 14 months (9 to 20 mo). The average preoperative diastasis was 52 mm (43 to 79 mm). After pubic approximation with modified oblique iliac osteotomies, tendon allografts were looped subperiosteally around the pubic bones and through the obturator foramina, and reinforced by suturing anterior chondro-periosteal flaps. With the legs in a mermaid dressing, external fixators were kept for 3 to 4 weeks.

Little is known about how PFVO impacts the quality of life after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the longitudinal changes to patient-reported physical, mental, and social health measures after PFVO.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This is a retrospective review of prospectively collected Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) data from 20 patients with unilateral LCPD treated with a PFVO. We collected seven PROMIS measures (mobility, anxiety, fatigue, depressive symptoms, pain interference, anger, and peer relationships) before and approximately 1, 3, 8, 12, and 18 months after surgery. We compared PROMIS scores across different time points using repeated measures ANOVA and multiple pairwise comparisons with Tukey adjustment. The relationship between presurgery and postsurgery mental health scores was analyzed using a Spearman correlation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean age at PFVO was 8.2 ± 1.6 years. The mean length of follow-up was 17.0 ± 2.1 months. There was a significant improvement in the mobility score between preoperation and 12 months ( P =0.0031) and 18 months postoperation ( P <0.0001). Anxiety scores significantly improved from preoperation and 18 months postoperation ( P =0.0014). A significant reduction in the pain interference score between preoperation and 12 and 18 months postoperation ( P <0.0001) was observed. Peer relationships significantly improved from one month postoperatively to 18 months postoperation ( P =0.0355). Individual variations were also observed with some patients having elevated depressive symptoms and anxiety scores. Moderate correlations between preoperative and postoperative anxiety and depressive symptoms scores were observed.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>PROMIS mobility, anxiety, pain interference, and peer relationship scores improved significantly after PFVO. While the mean anxiety, depressive symptoms, peer relationships, and anger scores were in normal ranges at each visit, individual variations with elevated anxiety and depressive symptom scores were observed.
