BACKGROUND: The purpose of the current study was 2-fold: (1) to create and validate an ankle bone age atlas spanning the pediatric and adolescent years and (2) to utilize this atlas in conjunction with distal tibia/fibular growth data as measured on serial radiographs to develop a predictive growth model for the lower extremity. METHODS: Radiographs were surveyed to identify distinguishable, reproducible, radiographic features. Radiographic features of the tibia, fibula, hindfoot, and midfoot from 270 patients were identified and a "standard" for each age/sex was selected to create an atlas...

Genu recurvatum-valgus arises from the proximal tibia and poses challenges in its treatment. The etiology of the combined deformities can include physeal trauma (often unrecognized), iatrogenic injury, infection, tumor, Osgood-Schlatter syndrome, skeletal dysplasia, and ligamentous laxity. Both osseous and ligamentous contributions must be recognized for successful treatment. A graphical planning method identifies the true (oblique) plane of deformity. Surgical treatment options include epiphysiodesis to prevent progressive deformity, guided growth, opening-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy, and gradual correction with concomitant limb lengthening using external fixation or motorized internal lengthening...

INTRODUCTION: Proximal tibia physeal fractures in children are not very common but can be dangerous because they can harm popliteal fossa structures, especially the popliteal artery. Popliteal artery injuries (PAI) are most commonly the result of trauma to the lower extremity, including blunt force, hyperextension injuries, complex fractures, and knee dislocations that can compromise popliteal neurovascular structures. Case Presentation. A 14-year-old boy presents to the emergency department after being transferred from an outside hospital 24 hours after a left lower extremity hyperextension injury...

PURPOSE: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) rupture rarely occurs, especially in skeletally immature adolescents, and poses a dilemma in appropriately managing the open physis with its vast growth potential. However, although many epiphyseal-protecting techniques for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have been reported, a similar problem in PCL reconstruction has received scant attention and needs more relevant research. So, this study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical and imaging results of the arthroscopic physeal-sparing reconstruction program...

BACKGROUND: Physeal bar resection has been used for partial growth arrest treatment for a decade while removing the bony bar minimally invasively and accurately is challenging. This research aims to illustrate a modified arthroscopically assisted surgery, by which all the procedure was under all-inside visualization, without the constant exchange between burring under fluoroscopy, followed by irrigation, suction, and arthroscopy of the canal. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the patients who sustained physeal bar resection under direct all-inside visualization of the arthroscope during 2016-2021...

The present study reports a rare case of avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity in an adolescent. A 14-year-old male patient sprained his left knee during a soccer match. At the first emergency-room visit, he presented pain in his left knee, 2 +/4+ edema, and inability to walk and flex the affected knee, but no neurovascular changes or signs of compartment syndrome. Radiographs revealed a physeal fracture at the left proximal tibia, classified by Ogden, Tross and Murphy, and modified by Ryu and Debenham, as type IV, and complemented by Aerts et al...

We present a case of a 16-year-old male with a Salter-Harris type II physeal slip of the distal femur managed with closed reduction and K wire and clamp-based external fixator. Knee range of motion exercises were initiated after one week. The union was observed at 10 weeks, and implant removal was done on an outpatient basis. At one year follow-up, the patient had good clinical and radiological outcomes. The K-wire-based external fixator frame is an effective fixation method for distal femur physeal slips in older children, providing favorable radiological and functional outcomes...

INTRODUCTION: Following trauma, premature growth arrest is a common outcome when the injury affects the pediatric growth plate. Dactylitis describes global inflammation affecting one or more digits in the hand or foot. It occurs in various seronegative arthropathies and septic arthritis. Physeal fusion following dactylitis is uncommon and is not described in the current literature. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 12-year-old boy, whose minor non-penetrating injury resulted in circumferential edema of his left third upper limb digit, typical of dactylitis...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Floating knee injury is a rare injury that involves a simultaneous fracture of the femur and tibia. It is more common among young men and is generally caused by high-speed blows. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. Children with Down syndrome have generalized ligamentous laxity, joint hypermobility, and hypotonia, leading to musculoskeletal conditions such as atlantoaxial instability, hip instability, and patellar instability...

BACKGROUND: Few studies address frequency or magnitude of healthy lower-extremity segment response to ipsilateral companion segment shortening. We sought to document and quantify this occurrence in a variety of pediatric etiologies. METHODS: We reviewed the medical record and radiographs of patients undergoing epiphysiodesis to manage leg length discrepancy. Inclusion criteria for this study were leg length discrepancy of a single lower-extremity segment by identifiable cause and adequate scanograms to allow accurate measurement of all 4 lower-extremity segments before any surgical treatment for the discrepancy...
