However, lipoatrophy, characterized by irreversible damage to subcutaneous fat, was first reported in 1999 and linked to antibody formation. In 2021, localized lipoatrophy was observed in 14.5% of patients receiving daily rhGH, with repeated injections at the same sites being a common contributing factor. Long-acting rhGH (LAGH) preparation offers the advantage of weekly injections, enhancing patient comfort and adherence to treatment.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This case report discusses a 5.5-year-old girl born at 40 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 2300 g, diagnosed with idiopathic short stature and borderline GH secretion, along with a history of mild intrauterine growth retardation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After initiating treatment with somatrogon, a non-pegylated fusion protein formulation of LAGH at the standard dose of 0.66 mg/kg body weight weekly, administered by her family, she developed localized lipoatrophy at the injection site within eleven weeks. The injections were performed consistently in the same area of the right upper arm, where lipoatrophy emerged. Following the onset of this adverse effect, her treatment was adjusted to daily rhGH, with strict instructions to rotate injection sites. Despite these clear instructions, follow-up revealed that the parents continued to administer injections with the non-pegylated LAGH fusion protein formulation, this time in the left upper arm, leading to a recurrence of lipoatrophy within eight weeks.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The recurrence underscores the importance of proper injection techniques, particularly site rotation, in preventing localized adverse effects. Given the limitations of this case, where the recommended adjustments were not followed by the parents, it is crucial to emphasize that the administration of the preparation should be discontinued immediately upon the appearance of side effects such as lipoatrophy.

Despite these improvements, emerging research highlights the lasting impacts of early growth patterns on an individual's health trajectory. Adults born prematurely face a higher incidence of health issues related to their early birth. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that preterm infants should achieve growth rates similar to those of fetuses, with clinicians emphasizing nutrition delivery to help these infants reach their expected weight for gestational age. However, this approach often results in altered body composition, characterized by increased fat mass and decreased fat-free mass compared to full-term infants. Air displacement plethysmography stands out as a highly reliable method for measuring preterm body composition, while DEXA scans, despite their reliability, tend to overestimate body fat. Other methods include bioelectric impedance, isotope dilution, MRI, ultrasound, and skinfold thickness, each with its own strengths and limitations. In this paper, we aim to raise awareness among neonatal clinicians about the importance of achieving acceptable neonatal body composition. We discuss the pros and cons of different body composition measurement methods, the impact of nutrition and other factors on body composition in preterm infants, long-term follow-up data, and the potential use of body composition data to tailor nutritional interventions in NICU and post-discharge settings.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining proximal femoral varus osteotomy (PFVO) with a modified trochanteric flip osteotomy to address biomechanical consequences and improve hip abductor muscle strength. <b>Methods</b>: We present a modified approach combining PFVO with a trochanteric flip osteotomy. In this technique, the greater trochanter in compound with its muscular insertions is separated from the femur and attached distally using a varization blade plate. Nine patients (ten hips, mean age 8 years) with LCPD were treated using this technique. Clinical examination findings and radiographic evaluations were retrospectively analyzed. The median follow-up was 33 months. <b>Results</b>: At the last follow-up, two patients exhibited Trendelenburg gait, but hip abduction was improved in all patients. Radiographically, consolidation at the osteotomy site was observed in all cases with no delayed union or non-union. The median CE angle improved by 7°, while the median CCD decreased by 18°. The median MPFA decreased by 13°, resulting in a median of 82°. <b>Conclusions</b>: Combining PFVO with a modified trochanteric flip osteotomy addresses biomechanical issues associated with PFVO, potentially improving hip containment and abductor muscle strength. This approach may offer advantages over traditional osteotomy techniques in treating LCPD, and it appears to produce a superior functional outcome in particular in regard to limping when compared to conventional PFVO.
