The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which patient demographics, clinical presentation, and blood parameters vary in A prospective case series was undertaken at a single UK paediatric institution between October 2012 and November 2018 of all patients referred with suspected septic arthritis. We recorded the clinical, biochemical, and microbiological findings in all patients.Aims
Methods
The decision to undertake prophylactic pinning to prevent contralateral slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) remains controversial; we hypothesised that the grade of initial SUFE could predict the grade of a second SUFE and risk of poor outcome. We retrospectively reviewed radiographs of all children who presented to Alder Hey with a new diagnosis of SUFE between 2007–2014. Of those who developed a contralateral SUFE, grade of first and second SUFE was determined radio-graphically using %
slip and Southwick angle on frog lateral radiograph.Purpose
