Aims. We aimed to compare reoperations following distal radial fractures (DRFs) managed with early fixation versus delayed fixation following initial
Aims. Abduction bracing is commonly used to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) following

Aims. There is no level I evidence dealing with the optimal period of immobilization for patients with a displaced distal radial fracture following
We reviewed 98 children (133 hips) with developmental dysplasia of the hip who underwent arthrography immediately after
The efficacy of traction before an attempted
The treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip diagnosed after the first year of life remains controversial. A series of 36 children (47 hips), aged between one and 4.9 years underwent gradual
We have reviewed the serial radiographs of 63 hips in 53 children treated by
We treated 22 children with a supracondylar fracture of the humerus and an ipsilateral fracture of the forearm by
We studied the pathogenesis, incidence and consequences of avascular necrosis in 184 children treated for congenital dislocation of the hip. Of 210 hips, 99 (47%) had some evidence of avascular necrosis (total 81, partial 18). The incidence was not influenced by the age at reduction, the duration of traction or the use of adductor tenotomy. Patients treated by
We used ultrasound to investigate the anatomy and stability of the hip during the phase of joint stabilisation after
We reviewed the serial radiographs of 54 hips in 47 children treated by
A case of posterior fracture-dislocation of the hip complicated by displacement of a segment of the acetabular rim into the joint at the time of
The management of an anterior supracondylar fracture by
Injury to the sciatic nerve following closed manipulation of a dislocated total hip replacement is rare. We present such a case in an elderly patient with partial recovery following exploration and release of the nerve.
We present a method for the reducing a displaced radial head in children, by rotating the forearm while pressing over the displaced fragment. This has been successful in a series of 10 cases.
The December 2022 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup. 360. looks at: Immobilization of torus fractures of the wrist in children (FORCE): a randomized controlled equivalence trial in the UK; Minimally invasive method in treatment of idiopathic congenital vertical talus: recurrence is uncommon; “You’re O.K. Anaesthesia”:
