Although pediatric patients undergoing endoprosthetic reconstruction for primary bone tumors had better functional outcomes than adults throughout treatment, results showed both groups had similar overall improvement at 1 year.

Children who are born with or develop differences in the length of their arms or legs can benefit from a range of treatments. These may be as simple as using adaptive footwear or as sophisticated as having limb lengthening surgery to generate new bone in the shorter limb.

Pediatric Orthopedics is its own specialty because children have bones that are different from adult bones, with types of fractures seen mostly in young bones. Treatment of broken bones in children is also different from the way we treat broken bones in adults.

Preoperative counseling often addresses questions regarding ability to return to sport, postoperative restrictions, time away from play, and the safety of returning...

To investigate the effectiveness of hip continuous passive motion (hCPM) on the hip development at skeletal maturity and gross motor function for spastic cerebral palsy children with hip dysplasia.

This retrospective study compared proximal bone transport and distal bone transport in a series of cases diagnosed with large segmental tibial defects.

The fixation method of syndesmotic injuries in ankle fractures remains controversial. The goal of the study was to compare radiographic and clinical outcomes between anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) anatomical repair with syndesmosis screw fixation in syndesmotic injuries.

Based on our experiences, we found that a kind of elbow injury is characterized by an olecranon fracture accompanied by elbow joint posterior dislocation with the proximal radioulnar joint intact. The aim of this study was to better define this kind of severe elbow instability, which has not been pr...

Few studies have retrospectively analyzed the relationship between joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle flexibility and shoulder and elbow throwing injuries in a large number of elementary school baseball players. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively identify the physical factors relat...

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has become an increasingly popular treatment option for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in the elderly.
