We reviewed our experience with posterior dislocations of the medial clavicle over a 10-year period, and found 5 children who had sustained this injury. The computed tomography (CT) scan was found to be the best diagnostic procedure to assess the integrity of the sternoclavicular joint. The cause of the dislocation was most commonly lateral compression of the shoulders sustained during contact sports, particularly football and hockey. Reduction was usually obtained by retraction of the shoulders; for persistent dislocations, a towel clip was used to lift the medial end of the clavicle into its reduced position with the patient under general anesthesia. Reduction was maintained with a figure-of-eight bandage. Any child presenting with pain and swelling in the region of the sternoclavicular joint and no evidence of obvious fracture of the clavicle should have the possibility of dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint investigated with a CT scan.","PeriodicalId":7581,"journal":{"name":"American journal of orthopedics","volume":"274 1","pages":"565-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79996820","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 purpose of this study is to determine whether ultrasound is helpful in making decisions to aspirate a painful hip joint in children. The anterior capsular distance was determined in 10 children with painful or irritable hips. This anterior capsular distance is 2 to 4 mm in most hips. A side difference of 2 mm or more is considered a significant capsular distension. Based on these criteria and clinical parameters, 3 hips were aspirated, and 7 were observed without aspiration. None of the 7 hips subsequently required further diagnostic workup or treatment and all have had a satisfactory outcome. Ultrasound is a reliable method to detect capsular distension or joint effusion. It helps significantly in making the decision as to \"when to aspirate\" a painful or irritable hip joint.","PeriodicalId":7581,"journal":{"name":"American journal of orthopedics","volume":"47 1","pages":"411-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81762808","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}

This review attempts to clarify these issues by reconstructing their historic basis and delineating the limitations of our current knowledge. In our opinion, this exercise demonstrates the similarities between pyogenic infectious spondylitis in children and adults and provides support for the management of this illness at all ages with parenteral antibiotics, cast or brace immobilization when needed for symptomatic relief, and, rarely, operative débridement.","PeriodicalId":7581,"journal":{"name":"American journal of orthopedics","volume":"22 1","pages":"342-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87129635","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}
