Different modalities of orthopedic management are available. Scant literature exists on the use of rigid intramedullary nailing in this population. This study sought to evaluate the utilization of this treatment modality in the pediatric cohort, focusing on indications, techniques, and outcomes of the procedures. A retrospective review was performed over an 11-year period at a single tertiary pediatric institution in the UK. Medical records and radiographs were reviewed. Preoperative surgical and medical management, time to bony union, and complications were specifically ascertained. Twenty-seven patients (63 lower limb segments) had rigid intramedullary nailing over the specified period. The majority of patients had an underlying diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta or fibrous dysplasia (including McCune Albright Syndrome). Surgical indications included acute fractures, prophylactic stabilization, previous nonunion and malunions, deformity correction, and limb lengthening. All fractures healed and deformity correction was successful. In one patient, delayed union occurred after deformity correction and was successfully treated with dynamization. Fractures healed faster than corrective osteotomies. Complications included implant prominence, cortical penetrance, and screw loosening. Nonunion occurred with limb lengthening in one patient. Rigid intramedullary nailing is a safe and effective method of treatment for lower limb fractures and deformities in children and adolescents. This technique is, therefore, recommended for patients with metabolic bone disease. However, care must be taken in preoperative surgical planning and a multidisciplinary approach should be utilized.","PeriodicalId":50092,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics-Part B","volume":" ","pages":"264-270"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142606301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have addressed the decision of orthopaedic surgeons regarding the removal of implants after the treatment of fracture, and there is a growing consensus within the scientific community supporting the choice of not removing implants in children. This survey aimed to investigate the rationale behind the Italian orthopaedic community's decision regarding metal implant removal in paediatric patients. An electronic questionnaire was sent to all members of the Italian Paediatric Orthopaedic and Traumatology Society, Italian Orthopaedic and Traumatology Society, Italian Club of Osteosynthesis, and South Italy Society of Orthopaedic and Traumatology. The survey comprised 34 questions about hardware removal after the treatment of long bone fractures, epiphyseal growth plate injuries, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), and flat foot. Of the 3500 orthopaedic surgeons who received the questionnaire, 5.5% responded. The leading indications for implant removal were the patient's intolerance, pain, ROM limitations, and hardware breakage. Removal of elastic nails for long bone fractures, cannulated screws for growth plate injuries, and SCFE and screws for arthroereisis for flat foot correction were analysed in detail. The consensus among Italian Orthopaedic Surgeons is to remove elastic nails and cannulated screws in cases of pain, intolerance, or breakage and to reduce further risks during patient growth. An increasing number of physicians, however, are endorsing and advocating the growing trend in the literature of not routinely removing the hardware.","PeriodicalId":50092,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics-Part B","volume":" ","pages":"236-239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141248782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typical immobilization options include spica casting, long leg cast, knee immobilizers, or no immobilization and the decision to use each is usually left to surgeon preference. Our primary aim is to evaluate whether different postoperative immobilization status influences outcomes, namely radiographic alignment at the time of healing. A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients with femur fractures treated with FIN fixation at a pediatric hospital from April 2018 through July 2022. Postoperative immobilization protocols were recorded and separated into two groups, patients who were immobilized (IMM) and patients who were not immobilized (NoIMM). Radiographs were evaluated for fracture alignment immediately following surgery and at the time of healing. Patients demographic, fracture, and postoperative clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups (NoIMM vs. IMM). A total of 41 patients were treated for diaphyseal femur fractures with FINs at our institution during the study period. No significant difference was observed in alignment at healing. Our results suggest that either immobilization or no immobilization after flexible intramedullary nailing of pediatric femoral shaft fractures are viable options when postoperative immobilization status is left to the surgeon's discretion.","PeriodicalId":50092,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics-Part B","volume":" ","pages":"205-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142127110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This retrospective case-control study included patients treated with hemiepiphysiodesis with tension band plate and screws at the distal femur and/or proximal tibia for idiopathic genu valgum and reached skeletal maturity with implants retained. Electronic medical records and radiographs were reviewed for patient characteristics and the need for subsequent removal of implants. Those who had implants removed were compared to those with implants not removed using Student's t-test for continuous variables and chi-square for categorical variables. Forty-six patients met inclusion criteria. Twenty-five of 46 patients (54%) underwent subsequent removal of deep implants, and all cases were due to symptoms related to the plate and screws. Factors associated with removal of deep implants included multiple vs. single rounds of hemiepiphysiodesis (76% vs. 43%, P = 0.02) and plates at the distal medial femur alone (P = 0.004). There were no differences between groups regarding sex, age at hemiepiphysiodesis, height, weight, and BMI. In conclusion, after skeletal maturity, there was a 54% rate of removal of symptomatic hemiepiphysiodesis implants. Factors associated with implant removal include repeat hemiepiphysiodesis and isolated distal medial femur plate position. This information can be used to guide patient and provider expectations as patients transition to adulthood.","PeriodicalId":50092,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics-Part B","volume":"34 3","pages":"282-284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143722409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Retrospective study of pediatric patients undergoing hand ray resection, in the period 2013-2022, performed in two hospital institutions. Inclusion criteria: age less than 18 years, primary/secondary resection due to traumatic etiology and follow-up time of more than 1 year. Data concerning demographic information, lesion location, traumatic mechanism and surgical description were collected. Functional outcomes (QuickDASH Score), social and emotional integration (PEDSQL) and satisfaction were evaluated. Seven patients were included, with male predominance ( n = 4) and the right side was the most affected ( n = 5). Median age at the time of surgery was 10 years (2-15). Primary ray resection, without previous revascularization, was performed in three patients. Secondary ray resection was performed in four patients. Three patients with an unsuccessful revascularization procedure attempt another patient with a sequela with severe deformity. All patients presented a good adaptation to daily living activities, with good pinch and grip function. The median follow-up was 4 years (min:1; max:9). The scores were collected on six out of seven patients. Median QuickDASH score of 14 (min:11; max:22), and PEDSQL[physical] of 95.31 (min:78.13; max:100) and PEDSQL[social] of 93.47 (min:66.3; max:100). Hand ray resection is a rare procedure in pediatric age and usually difficult for patients and parents to accept.
