Fractures and Dislocations in Children

TL;DR: Anatomic reduction is the main predictor of outcome in patients with Lisfranc fracture dislocations, and post-traumatic arthritis occurred significantly more often in Patients with non-anatomic than anatomic reduction.

TL;DR: All orthopedists should be alert to suspected AACA in children with trauma below the age of three, even without classic signs of abuse.

TL;DR: A modified Pauwels' intertrochanteric osteotomy is a reliable method of treating ununited fractures of the femoral neck following failed osteosynthesis: coxa vara and shortening can also simultaneously be addressed.

TL;DR: A case of a 6-year-old boy who sustained a fracture of proximal ulna with ipsilateral supracondylar fracture humerus is presented and it is suggested that the fracture pattern can be included under type I Monteggia equivalent on the basis of its characteristics, biomechanics and the mode of injury.

TL;DR: In a series of 145 supracondylar fractures, thirty-one were treated by open reduction and internal fixation, and the end results of this method of treatment are reported in twenty-three of the thirty-three fractures.

TL;DR: The traditional view of calcaneal fractures in children is that this injury and its consequences are generally less severe than its adult counterpart, but the validity of this conception and other ways in which children's fractures differ were examined by a retrospective review of children's injuries.

TL;DR: A completely displaced supracondylar fracture in a child should not be treated by manipulation and splint immobilization alone, and should be treated with traction techniques and well-performed Kirschner-pin transfixation.

TL;DR: The effect of residual fracture angulation on the distal radial and ulnar epiphyseal plates was studied in children aged 1 to 15 years and showed that an abnormal inclination after healing of a distal forearm fracture induced an alteration of growth in the epipHYseal plate.
