This abstract encapsulates findings from a comprehensive review aimed at advancing pediatric bone sarcoma care, focusing on navigating the complications and innovating solutions for complications of limb salvage and reconstruction focusing on limb length inequalities and accompanying bone defects. Advancements in imaging, surgical techniques, and adjuvant therapies have shifted the paradigm from amputation to limb-sparing surgeries, albeit with significant challenges, especially in young patients where growth potential complicates reconstructive outcomes. The series highlights the complexity of managing limb length discrepancies (LLD), the cornerstone of limb salvage challenges, and the innovative approaches to address them, including modular endoprosthetic reconstruction with expandable prostheses, magnetic lengthening nails and biological reconstruction strategies like vascularized fibula grafts. This review underlines the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing pediatric bone sarcomas, where the aim extends beyond mere survival to ensuring quality of life through functional limb preservation. It highlights the need for ongoing innovation in surgical and reconstructive techniques tailored to the pediatric population's unique needs, emphasizing the potential of emerging technologies and methodologies to improve outcomes. Future research should aim to fill the existing knowledge gaps, particularly in comparing pediatric and adult surgical outcomes, to refine treatment protocols and improve patient care in this challenging domain.</p>","PeriodicalId":93854,"journal":{"name":"Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363167/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Macnicol and Gupta modified drilling technique was used. Distal femoral and/or proximal tibial permanent epiphysiodesis was performed in 42 children (21 boys, 21 girls; median age at surgery=12.6 years, age range=9.4-15.4 years) between 2004 and 2016. Based on the groundwork of previous studies, we developed an auxological prediction method. The limb length discrepancy (LLD) was assessed by clinical examination and verified by an x-ray of the hips when standing with blocks under the shorter leg. The predicted shortening was 2.7 cm ± 1.1 cm. The final discrepancy after finishing skeletal growth was 0.5 ± 0.5 cm. In 26 patients (61.9%), equalization of both legs was achieved (0-0.5 cm). In 4 patients (9.5%), the remaining shortening was more than 1.0 cm. Shortening of an initially longer leg occurred in two patients (0.5 cm and 0.6 cm). Failure of growth plate arrest was observed in 1 patient. In another 3 patients, the efficacy of tibial epiphysiodesis was unsatisfactory. Minor complications occurred in 5 cases, but there was no evidence of angular deformity in the frontal and sagittal planes or proximal fibula overgrowth. Three patients (7.1%) returned to the operating room. Compared to published data, more patients achieved complete equalization of leg length. The results of this study verified the accuracy of the auxological prediction algorithm of LLD based on Shapiro's findings. The surgical outcome is comparable between Shapiro patterns 1 and 3. Auxological examination, assessment of bone age, and sexual maturation are crucial tools for accurate timing of surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":93854,"journal":{"name":"Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11363206/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142010085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample consisted of nontraumatic patients who are suffering from shoulder pain because of rotator cuff disease, which was established by clinical tests and MRI scanning. Oxidative stress in patients with RCT was analyzed via the dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH). Thiol/disulfide homeostasis was measured by a new colorimetric method. Furthermore, oxidative stress was indirectly measured by serum total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Serum disulfide levels and the other oxidative stress parameters of the RCT group were significantly greater than those of the control group (P < .001 for all), whereas the anti-oxidative stress parameters remained unchanged (P > .05 for all). The lowest and highest serum disulfide levels were detected in patients with grades 1 and 3, respectively (P < .001). Furthermore, in a multiple regression analysis, the disulfide/natural thiol ratio (β=-4.886, P = .004) and the MRI grading (β=0.314, P=.001) were independently associated with the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index WORC score.

Sixty-seven preoperative ankle CT scans of 67 adult patients with \"ankle fracture with the involvement of the posterior malleolus\"'' were retrospectively identified. CT images were assessed by 10 observers with different levels of clinical experience from 2 different specialties, including orthopedics and radiology. The observers were asked to classify PMFs according to 3 CT-based classifications on 2 separate occasions with a 4-week interval.

Overall, each classification had moderate to very good intraobserver reliability (κ=0.41 to 0.95, P < .01) as well as moderate interobserver reliability for each of the 2 separate assessments (κ=0.41 to 0.60, P < .01 for the first occasion; κ=0.44 to 0.59, P < .01 for the second occasion). Interobserver agreement among the foot and ankle surgeons regarding the Haraguchi and Bartoníček classifications was substantial for both assessment periods, whereas there was a moderate agreement for the Mason classification. Orthopedic residents showed moderate interobserver agreement in each period for both Bartoníček and Mason classifications. Radiology experts illustrated slight and fair agreements in the 2 assessments for Mason classification, moderate agreement in both assessments for Haraguchi classification, and substantial to moderate agreement in the first and second assessments for Bartoníček classification, respectively.
