Aims. We aimed to identify the pattern of nerve injury associated with
paediatric supracondylar fractures of the humerus. Patients and Methods. Over a 17 year period, between 1996 and 2012, 166
Introduction. Activity scales are used throughout orthopaedics as a component of PROMs. Tegner Activity Scale is commonly used and is validated in various knee injuries in adults. It has a reading age of 18 years presenting an understanding problem for
Introduction. Patellofemoral instability is one of the most common presentations to a
Introduction. There is limited evidence assessing the effect of the Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) on gait improvements in diplegic cerebral palsy. In particular, the effect of the AFO on vertical forces during gait has not been reported. Appropriate vertical ground reaction forces are crucial in enabling
Introduction. This study reviews the orthopaedic care of the thirteen patients who were admitted and treated at Royal Manchester
Between 1996 and 2003 six institutions in the United States and France contributed a consecutive series of 234 fractures of the femur in 229
INTRODUCTION. Spinal injuries in
Although supracondylar fracture is a very common elbow injury in childhood, there is no consensus on the timing of surgery, approach for open reduction and positioning of fixation wires. We report our ten-year experience between 1993 and 2003 in 291
Background. Disruption of the normal relationship between the proximal tibia and fibula is seen in a number of different conditions such as skeletal dysplasias and post-infective deformity, as well as the consequence of lengthening procedures. Radiographic indices for the tibio-fibular relationship at the ankle have been described, but no similar measures have been reported for the proximal articulation. Aim. The purpose of this study was to investigate the normal radiographic relationship between the proximal tibia and fibula in

This study aimed to evaluate the use of pin leverage in the reduction of Gartland type III supracondylar fractures of the humerus in
Several techniques are available for the treatment of displaced fractures of the neck of the radius in
Congenital cruciate ligament deficiency is a rare condition that may occur in isolation or in association with longitudinal limb deficiencies such as fibular hemimelia or proximal femoral focal deficiency. Often anomalies of the menisci and their attachments can be very abnormal and impact on surgical management by standard techniques. Arthroscopic surgical knee reconstruction is undertaken to improve symptomatic instability and/or to stabilise and protect the knee for future planned limb lengthening surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the arthroscopic findings of patients undergoing surgery for congenital cruciate ligament deficiency, and specifically to determine the frequency and types of meniscal anatomical variations seen in these cases. Patients undergoing surgery for congenital cruciate ligament deficiency were identified from a prospectively collated database. Diagnosis was confirmed through review of the clinical notes and imaging. Operative notes and 4K saved arthroscopic images and video recordings for these cases were reviewed.Objectives

Introduction. The incidence of spondylolysis is estimated about 5–6% in the general population and accounts for one of the most frequent cause of backpain in the adolescent. The purpose of this study is to present our results from the management of these patients. Patients and Methods. During the period 1993–2003, 25

Background. Chronic acquired radial head dislocations pose a complex problem in terms of surgical decision making, especially if surgery has already previously failed. There are several underlying causes that should be investigated, including previous trauma resulting in a missed Monteggia fracture. Aim. To review the clinical and radiological outcomes for
