Aim Distal radius/forearm fractures in adolescent patients remain challenging injuries to treat. Distal radius/forearm bony anatomy is not completely restored with intramedullary K wire fixation. The aim of this study was to compare radiographic and functional outcomes obtained using intramedullary K wire fixation and open reduction and internal f...

Report our indications and limitations about the use of external fixation in children. It was retrospectively reviewed all tibial fractures treated with monolateral and hybrid external fixator, at our three Centres. It was included 32 fractures which did not show an acceptable reduction after an attempt under anaesthesia. The exclusion criteria wer...

Purpose A mild delay in gross motor milestones and walking age has been reported in infants with clubfoot. The influence of different treatments on motor development has been poorly investigated. Some parents and physical therapists express concern that the Ponseti method (PM) and its constraints (abduction brace, casts) would affect development mo...

Objectives: Using a clinical case, we aim to show the proper managment of humeral pallet fractures in children. Methods: A 6-year-old male child arrived at22:30 after falling from a trampoline.Theinjury hadoccurred 8hours earlier. Physical examination showed the presence of a vast dorsal hematoma of the entire humerus and the presence of Tucker Si...

Objective: To evaluate the follow-up of the fractures treated by external fixator. Methods: A total of 31 children aged 6–15 years with proximal humeral fractures Grade IV according to Neer–Horowitz classification were treated. The medium follow-up was 24 months. Results: In all cases, a good stability of the fracture and a quick healing process we...

A ten-year-old patient came under the observation of the U.O. OrtopediaUniversitaria of the A.O.U. Policlinico Santa Maria AlleScotte. She reported the following diagnosis: hyperlexion of the third phalanx of the left hand fourth inger, with hypogenesis of the third phalanx. As the irst of the three surgical phases proposed, the patient underwent t...
Conference Paper
The acetabular revision is certainly the more common event about arthroplasty revision for aseptic loosing total hip replacement. The early or late loosening of the acetabular component are the reasons that lead to this type of surgery. The correct placement of the primary implant is very important to minimize the acetabular revisions. In this pape...

The term flat-back syndrome has been used to describe symptoms resulting from distraction instrumentation into the lower lumbar spine or sacrum and other factors that may aggravate the loss of lumbar lordosis include thoracolumbar kyphosis, fixed thoracic kyphosis, hip flexion contractures, and pseudoarthrosis, although loss of lumbar lordosis may...
Conference Paper
Introduction The cortical wire cercaclage have been saw like the devil by the orthopedics however which have been an easy practice in bone cylinder discontinuity reduction. Our experience in hip arthroplasty femoral revision surgery convinced us to introduce the wire cerclage in femoral fractures associating it with intramedullary nailing alternati...
Conference Paper
Background: The increasing desire to protect the periarticular structures has led to the need for Tissue Sparing Surgery. The accesses most widely used are the direct-lateral approach and the postero-lateral one, both with patient in lateral decubitus. Aim: However, these accesses require an incision of tendons and muscles even in their minimally i...
Article
The authors suggest the use of an innovative electromyographic (EMG) test to screen school age children for scoliosis at an early stage of the development of this condition by determining percentage differences between the muscular activity measured in corresponding paravertebral muscles. This test can be used to diagnose both postural and structur...
Article
The authors report the results of EMG tests carried out on two thousand ten-year-old children screened to diagnose scoliosis at an early age of development. The test consists of a flexoextension movement of the trunk. Based on the percentage differences in activity measured in corresponding paravertebral muscular areas we identified three levels of...
Article
The authors have analysed functional correlations between orthodontic occlusal disharmonies and postural and structural scoliosis. To diagnose scoliosis at an early stage, they performed electromyographic tests (EMGs) on two thousand 10-year-old children in order to screen them for occlusal disharmonies and establish whether these were correlated w...
