This paper aims to provide evidence-based guidance for the general orthopaedic surgeon faced with the presentation of a potential soft tissue sarcoma in an extremity.

The October 2015 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Radiographic follow-up of DDH; When the supracondylar goes wrong; Apophyseal avulsion fractures; The ‘pulled elbow’; Surgical treatment of active or aggressive aneurysmal bone cysts in children; Improving stability in supracondylar fractures; Biological reconstruction may be preferable in children’s osteosarcoma; The paediatric hip fracture

The December 2014 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: predicting drift in supracondylar fractures; do normal hips dislocate?; the burden of trampoline fractures; muscle eversion activity is strongly predictive of outcome in CTEV; the modified Dunn osteotomy; plaster and moulded casts; and psychology and fractures.

The February 2014 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: flexible plasters; dual 8-plate or ablation for knee epiphysiodesis; ultrasounds for pulled elbow; leg length without the radiation; Boyd amputation in limb deficiencies; gold standard club foot treatment; quadrupled semitendinosis graft effective in paediatric ACL reconstruction; and predicting complications following cerebral palsy hip reconstruction

The June 2013 Research Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: a contact patch to rim distance and metal ions; the matrix of hypoxic cartilage; CT assessment of early fracture healing; Hawthornes and radiographs; cardiovascular mortality and fragility fractures; and muscle strength decline preceding OA changes.
