Sheth B, Kalra N, Gupta R, Michael A. Radiologic Evaluation of the Distal End Radius Indices in Indian Paediatric Population. Indian J Orthop 2024; 58:1248-1253. [PMID: 39170654 PMCID: PMC11333421 DOI: 10.1007/s43465-024-01209-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
Background The distal end radius's bony anatomy in relation to three variables-Radial Inclination, Volar tilt, and radial height-has been discussed commonly in the adult population and is not very well defined in the growing skeleton. In children aged 8-16 years old, we measured the osseous distal end radius according to radiography standards. The research comprised 130 patients, 65 males and 65 females aged 8-16. In each child, the norms for radial inclination, volar tilt, and radial epiphyseal height were established. This research defines these radiographic parameters for the paediatric population in India for the first time. Methods This research is an Unicentric Cross-sectional observational analytical study. We studied 130 normal wrist posteroanterior and lateral radiographs of the Indian paediatric population aged 8-16 years who reported to our OPD and calculated the three parameters-(1) Radial height, (2) Volar Tilt, and (3) Radial Inclination. Mean measurement values were analysed statistically. Results The Mean distal end radius volar tilt is 10.92° ± 1.76° SD with a range from 4° to 15°. The Mean distal end radial inclination is 21.04° ± 2.10° SD with a range from 15° to 25°. The Mean distal end radial height is 11.93 ± 1.44 mm SD with a range from 9.0 to 14.50 mm. Conclusion In true Postero-anterior and lateral wrist radiographs of the Indian paediatric population, we have established normal values that may be utilized as a guide for the evaluation and treatment of a variety of traumatic and non-traumatic problems in Indian children.

Meng XH, Weng YT, Rao Y, Xu YQ, Sun H, Li C. Two genetic variants in the HIBCH and FTCDNL1 genes are associated with susceptibility to developmental dysplasia of the hips among the Han Chinese population of Southwest China. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:464. [PMID: 39113043 PMCID: PMC11304665 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04958-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common cause of childhood disability, and the incidence of DDH shows significant familial aggregation. As the genetic factors of DDH remain unknown, the correlation between five candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and DDH was evaluated in the Han Chinese population of Southwest China. METHODS A case‒control association study was conducted in 276 patients with DDH and 318 healthy controls. SNP genotyping in the case and control groups was performed by SNPshot and multiple PCR. SNPs were genotyped in the case and control groups by multiplex PCR. The relationship between DDH and candidate SNPs was evaluated using the χ2 test. RESULTS The genotype distributions of rs291412 in HIBCH and rs769956 in FTCDNL1 were different between the case and control groups (P < 0.05). After genetic model analysis, logistic regression analysis revealed that the C allele of rs291412 had a protective effect on DDH (OR = 0.605, P = 0.010) and that the G allele of rs769956 was a risk factor (OR = 2.939, P = 0.010).s. CONCLUSION These SNPs could be associated with susceptibility to DDH but larger population-based studies should confirm the current results.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev 2024; 8:01979360-202407000-00013. [PMID: 39042502 PMCID: PMC11254115 DOI: 10.5435/jaaosglobal-d-24-00026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric fractures are common in Malawi, and surgical care, when needed, remains inaccessible to many. Understanding which children in Malawi receive surgery or nonsurgical treatment would help set priorities for trauma system development. METHODS We used multivariate logistic regression to evaluate associations between surgical treatment and age, sex, school enrollment, injury mechanism, fracture type, open fracture, referral status, hospital of presentation, delayed presentation (≥2 days), healthcare provider, and inpatient vs outpatient treatment. RESULTS From 2016 to 2020, 10,400 pediatric fractures were recorded in the Malawi Fracture Registry. Fractures were most commonly of the wrist (26%), forearm (17%), and elbow (14%). Surgical fixation was performed on 4.0% of patients, and 24 (13.0%) open fractures were treated nonsurgically, without débridement or fixation. Fractures of the proximal and diaphyseal humerus (odds ratio [OR], 3.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.36 to 5.87), knee (OR, 3.16; 95% CI, 1.68 to 5.95), and ankle (OR, 2.63; 95% CI, 1.49 to 4.63) had highest odds of surgery. Odds of surgical treatment were lower for children referred from another facility (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.77). CONCLUSIONS Most Malawian children with fractures are treated nonsurgically, including many who may benefit from surgery. There is a need to increase surgical capacity, optimize referral patterns, and standardize fracture management in Malawi.

The effects of postoperative malrotation alignment on outcomes of Gartland type III/IV paediatric supracondylar humeral fractures treated by close reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:26. [PMID: 38167111 PMCID: PMC10763312 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04505-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of postoperative malrotation alignment on the outcomes of Gartland type III/IV paediatric supracondylar humeral fracture (SCHF) treated by close reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation. METHODS Between January 2014 and December 2021, 295 Gartland type III/IV paediatric SCHFs treated by close reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation were selected for this retrospective study. The demographic, clinical and radiographic parameters of all cases were collected. The lateral rotation percentage (LRP) was measured on X-rays to evaluate postoperative malrotation alignment of the fracture. All cases were categorized into 4 groups according to LRP: LRP ≤ 10% (210, 71.2%), 10% < LRP ≤ 20% (41, 13.9%), 20% < LRP ≤ 30% (26, 8.8%) and LRP > 30% (18, 6.1%). The carrying angle, ranges of multidirectional motions, Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) and Flynn's Standard Score (FSS) of the injured elbow were assessed 6 months postoperation and compared among different groups. ROC analysis based on LRP and the excellent/good rate of FSS was performed to determine the acceptable maximum degree of postoperative malrotation alignment. RESULTS There was no difference in the demographic characteristics (age, sex, injured side and fracture type), postoperative Baumann angle, carrying angle or range of forearm rotation among the 4 groups (P > 0.05). The operation time and time from operation to K-wire removal were longer in the 20% < LRP ≤ 30% and LRP > 30% groups than in the LRP < 10% and 10% < LRP ≤ 20% groups (P < 0.001). The shaft condylar angle, range of elbow flexion, MEPS and FSS of the injured elbow 6 months postoperatively were lower in the 20% < LRP ≤ 30% and LRP > 30% groups than in the LRP < 10% and 10% < LRP ≤ 20% groups (P < 0.001). ROC analysis based on LRP and the excellent/good rate of FSS showed an area under the curve of 0.959 (95% CI 0.936-0.983), with a cutoff value of 26.5%, sensitivity of 95.3% and specificity of 90.1%. CONCLUSION A certain degree of residual malrotation alignment deformity of the SCHF may reduce the shaft condylar angle and extend the time from operation to removing the K-wire and affect elbow function, especially the range of elbow flexion. The acceptable maximum degree of residual malrotation deformity expressed as the LRP value was 26.5%.

Abstract
Pediatric facial fractures have different clinical patterns and require different therapeutic approaches in comparison with those of facial fractures that occur among adults. The aim of this study was to describe the main clinical characteristics of pediatric facial fractures (such as fracture location, fracture pattern, treatment, complications and evolution) in a group of pediatric patients from NW Romania. This research was a retrospective study that was conducted for 10 years in a tertiary hospital for oral and maxillofacial surgery from NW Romania. A total of 142 pediatric patients were included in this study, with ages between 0 and 18 years. Mandibular (66.2%), midface (25.4%) and combined fractures (8.5%) were identified, and patients from the 13-18 years age group were more frequently affected by facial fractures (78.9%). Most of the diagnosed fractures among all three types of fractures were total fractures, and most mandibular (92.6%) and midface (80.6%) fractures were without displacement. Hematomas, lacerations and abrasions were identified as associated lesions. Patients with associated lesions were more frequently associated with combined fractures or midface fractures than mandibular fractures. The instituted treatment was, in general, orthopedic, for all three types of fractures (mandibular-86.2%; midface-91.7%; combined-66.7%). Most fractures, mandibular (96.8%), midface (100%) and combined (91.7%) fractures, had a favorable evolution. Most fractures did not present any complications at the follow-up. Pediatric facial fractures have unique patterns and must be treated with caution, considering the particularities of pediatric facial anatomy.

Abstract
Background Functional exercises is very essential to the recovery of patients with fracture. We aimed to evaluate the compliance of functional exercises in school-age children with limb fracture, to provide evidence to the clinical management and nursing care of children with limb fracture. Methods School-age children with limb fractures treated in our hospital from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 were selected. The characteristics and postoperative functional exercise compliance of included children were analyzed. Pearson correlation and Logistic regression analysis were conducted to analyze the influencing factors of compliance to functional exercises. Results A total of 328 children with limb fracture were included, the incidence of compliance to functional exercise was only 35.98%. Pearson correlation analysis showed that age(r = 0.707), only child of family(r = 0.537), guardians(r = 0.642) and type of temperament(r = 0.635) were correlated with compliance to functional exercises in school-age children with limb fractures (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age ≤ 10y (OR2.913, 95%CI2.091 ~ 3.611), only child of family (OR2.006, 95%CI1.683 ~ 2.558), guarded by grandparents (OR1.512, 95%CI1.201 ~ 2.118), non-easy-going temperament (OR4.127, 95%CI3.811 ~ 4.902) were the influencing factors of non-compliance to functional exercises in children with limb fracture (all p < 0.05). Conclusions School-age children have poor compliance with functional exercises after limb fractures, and there are many influencing factors. For children with those risks, health care providers should actively intervene in nursing to improve children’s exercise compliance and the rehabilitation effect.
