Many surgical techniques are aimed at eliminating contractures and restoring ankle joint movements. However, treatment results are not always satisfactory, and the number of complications remains high, such as recurrence of deformation and failure of the tendon suture after tenotomy. \u0000AIM:To analyze the results of calcaneal tendon lengthening plastic surgery with the original tendon suture technique in patients with cerebral palsy complications and consider the features of surgical technique onaclinical example. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS:This study describes the lengthening plastic surgery of the calcaneal tendon with the original tendon suture technique performed in four patients with complications of cerebral palsy. The clinical observations of the surgical treatment ofa30-year-old patient with spastic paresis of the triceps muscle of the left tibia were presented. The treatment results were followed from 1 to 12 months postoperatively. The amplitude of active and passive movements in the joints, muscle tone, presence and nature of postoperative complications, and functional outcome were evaluated. \u0000RESULTS:The results 1 year after the operation were evaluated as good in two initially more severe cases and excellent in two cases. In all patients, decreased pain level, restoration of movements, decreased hypertension, and hypotrophy of the triceps muscle of the lower leg were observed, and no complications were noted. \u0000CONCLUSIONS:The results revealed data on the pathogenetic validity of calcaneal tendon elongation in patients with spastic paralysis of the triceps muscle of the lower leg. The proposed original method of surgical treatment ensures the correct anatomical comparison and density of the contact of the tendon ends, reduces the tone of the calf-flounder complex, preserves joint physiological mobility, begins early rehabilitation, and reduces the likelihood of relapse.","PeriodicalId":37631,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Traumatology, Orthopaedics and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90761732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Respiratory dysfunction is the leading cause of comorbid, somatic, and infectious pathology, and mortality following traumatic cervical spinal cord injuries. Mechanical ventilation of the lungs is the standard treatment for such patients; however, it is associated with atrophy and diaphragm dysfunction. \u0000AIM:To analyze literature data on the use of electrical stimulation techniques of the spinal cord, nerves, and muscles for the correction of respiratory disorders in patients with cervical spinal cord trauma. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS:This study presented the results of the search and analysis of peer-reviewed articles that examined the effects of various electrical stimulation techniques on respiratory function in patients with cervical spinal cord injury.

Many studies have shown the positive effect of electrostimulation techniques on ventilatory function such as reduced time spent on mechanical ventilation and reduced incidence of infections and other lung complications. \u0000CONCLUSIONS:Electrical stimulation promotes neuromuscular plasticity and results in improved spontaneous activation of the diaphragm and respiratory muscles. Electrostimulation inacomprehensive rehabilitation program of patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries at the cervical level is currently employed to promote weaning from mechanical ventilation and prevent accompanying complications such as respiratory failure, pneumonia, and atelectasis.

Generally, paravertebral anesthesia is used in adults as a strong analgesic tool for pain treatment. Paravertebral anesthesia is not a simple way of inducing regional anesthesia, as it has several complications. Paravertebral anesthesia has been a serious contraindication in pediatric surgery. At present, technical progress in ultrasonography permits the use of paravertebral anesthesia successfully in children in orthopedics and traumatology practice by discovering new possibilities for the surgical treatment of pain. \u0000AIM: This study aimed to assess the current state and near-term prospects of using paravertebral anesthesia as a significant component of anesthesia in pediatric orthopedics and traumatology. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: Study data were obtained from public scientific sources, which were searched in the PubMed, Crossref, Google Scholar, Scopus, and RSCI databases without language restrictions. The depth of the information search was 90 years (up to 1932).

Unsatisfactory results of the treatment of this pathology have prompted several researchers to search for an optimal treatment strategy. \u0000AIM: This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of literature data on missed Monteggia fractures and dislocations in children by studying the main therapeutic and tactical approaches to this problem. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature search was conducted in the Cochrane Database, Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, and eLibrary information bases, and the search depth was 10 years. Moreover, 46 sources were selected based on the criteria. The main characteristics revealing the problem were identified, divided into four semantic groups, according to which the literature was analyzed: initial data on the condition of patients at the time of seeking medical help, status before and after treatment, and treatment methods. \u0000RESULTS: The average age of the children was 8.4 years. The average interval from injury to the surgical treatment of missed Monteggia fracture was 15.3 months, and 883 clinical cases presented in sources with known treatment techniques were analyzed. Thus, open reduction of the radial head in combination with the restoration or reconstruction of the annular ligament and ulnar osteotomy is one of the most common methods (n = 482, 54.6%). The second most frequent application was the above-described approach, but without manipulations on the annular ligament (n = 273, 30.9%). Bone osteosynthesis and external fixation apparatus were the most widely used stabilization methods in 350 (67.8%) and 149 (28.9%), respectively. The most common complications were associated with the deterioration of the functional status after surgery. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: Accurate diagnosis of injury and early correction of existing disorders is the key to reducing the frequency of missed Monteggia fractures. Surgical treatment is the main method of treating children with this injury, in which the restoration of the ulnar anatomy and the ratios in the brachial and proximal radiocarpal joints are the most important, providing a more physiological development of the segment with the growth of the child.","PeriodicalId":37631,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Traumatology, Orthopaedics and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"200 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86989254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following keywords were used for searching in Russian-language search engines: replacement of bone defects in children and fibula transplantation in children, and in the English-language search engines, microsurgical and fibula, microvascular and fibula, and bone and defect were used. After sorting the published studies, 17 publications were analyzed. \u0000RESULTS: The study analyzed a total of 690 patients (mean age 12 2.6 years). The predominant cause of the defects was malignant tumors in 647 patients (93.7% of all patients). Benign processes were also noted, which accounted for 0.87% of all patients: osteomyelitis, 2.0%; congenital pathology, 2.17%, and trauma, 1.45%. The mean follow-up period was 4.8 2.4 years.
