To assess the success rate of closed reduction after failing Pavlik harness for treatment of DDH. It was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data. Patient's notes/computerised records were reviewed. Radiological investigations were also reviewed. Microsoft excel used for descriptive stats.Aims:
Methods:
We share our experience in management of failed in-situ pinning in severe unstable Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) by surgical dislocation approach. A retrospective review of hip database from 2006 to 2013 showed 41 children underwent surgical dislocation for SCFE. We identified seven who had severe slip with failed in-situ pinning.Purpose
Method
To determine the likelihood of achieving a successful closed reduction (CR) of a dislocated hip in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after failed Pavlik harness treatment We report the rate of avascular necrosis (AVN) and the need for further surgical procedures. Data was obtained from the Northern Ireland DDH database. All children who underwent an attempted closed reduction between 2011 and 2016 were identified. Children with a dislocated hip that failed Pavlik harness treatment were included in the study. Successful closed reduction was defined as a hip that reduced in theatre and remained reduced. Most recent imaging was assessed for the presence of AVN using the Kalamchi and MacEwen classification.Aims
Methods
The aim of this study was to report the clinical, functional
and radiological outcomes of children and adolescents with tibial
fractures treated using the Ilizarov method. Between 2013 and 2016 a total of 74 children with 75 tibial fractures
underwent treatment at our major trauma centre using an Ilizarov
frame. Demographic and clinical information from a prospective database
was supplemented by routine functional and psychological assessment
and a retrospective review of the notes and radiographs.Aims
