..Pelvic MR should be performed to rule out pelvic osteomyelitis or pyomyositis in children with acute hip pain, ESR of more than 30 mm/h, and no evidence of septic hip...

..It was the purpose of this study to review the results from the literature for different methods of SCFE treatment and on the basis of level of evidence determine the current best evidence treatment...

..51). All SCFEs are present, on average, at an OXBA of 29, regardless of sex, symptom duration, or unilateral/bilateral nature. This study has reaffirmed the narrow window of BA in SCFE, with a BA range approximating 50% of CA range...

..It was the purpose of this study to review equestrian-related injuries using a large nation wide database and analyze predictors of significant injury...

..Nonetheless, injuries severe enough to require an emergency department (ED) visit occur, and this study aims to quantify and describe those injuries in children...

..The number of such cases and the role of early removal in improving the long-term outcome need further study...

..We wished to retest the accuracy and applicability of the age-weight test and height differences in children with atypical and typical slipped capital femoral epiphyses...

..Pediatric orthopaedists must continue to press for increased safety for our children, particularly adolescent motor vehicle safety. Abuse should be considered when a child younger than 2 years presents with a femoral fracture...

..Single central screw fixation must be approached with caution because the more medial screw entry point places the screw path in immediate proximity to the femoral neurovascular bundle...

..It was the purpose of this study to investigate injuries owing to playground equipment using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database and further understand their demographics...

..No study has addressed measurement variability due to the measurement device itself. It was the purpose of this study to assess measurement variability of articulated versus fixed devices...

..Retrospective review...

..In addition to presence of long bone fractures in infants and toddlers, older children with concomitant psychiatric or neurological conditions presenting with nonaccidental injuries should be assessed for possible abuse...

..Those children with more metaphyseal changes had higher BMIs; perhaps the larger body mass per unit of height translates into more bony adaptation following Wolf law...

..One proposed etiology of idiopathic talipes equinovarus is an in utero enterovirus infection. Enterovirus infections demonstrate seasonal variation in temperate climates...

..It was our purpose to determine demographic predictors of the severity of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis...

..Additional knowledge of the demographics of this disorder in Amish children may provide genetic insights. The purpose of this study was to review the demographics of slipped capital femoral epiphysis in the Amish population...

..Retrospective review of scoliosis radiographs...

..The demographics of traumatic amputations in children are not well known. The purpose of this review was to identify those demographics for use as a possible guide for prevention strategies...

..63). Clinicians should be aware of this average 0.6-year delay in bone age when planning an epiphysiodesis for limb length equalization in children with cartilaginous dysplasias...

..In this study of healthy adults without any underlying hip pathology, racial variability in the CE or Sharp's angle did not follow the racial prevalence of SCFE...

..Back pain was identified in 4 of the 79 patients at last follow-up, 2 of whom had spondylolisthesis. As some cases of spondylolisthesis will remain asymptomatic, periodic radiographic follow-up is recommended...

..Geographic, racial, and seasonal variations suggest that both environmental and genetic factors may influence the development of SCFE...

..0001). When cervical lordosis is >0 degrees or thoracic kyphosis is >40 degrees (Cobb method), the clinician should strongly suspect the presence of an Arnold-Chiari I malformation with or without syringomyelia...

..A retrospective radiographic review was performed on 41 patients with scoliosis associated with a Chiari I malformation and/or syringomyelia...

..Surgical dislocation of the hip with epiphyseal orientation is a considered treatment option for those technically adept at the procedure; however, the long-term outcome compared with in situ fixation is still unknown...

..These findings do not provide indirect support for a neurologic etiology...

..If the transverse mid-pelvis diameter at skeletal maturity is < 9.5 cm, then the likelihood of Cesarean section is increased, and this information should be given to the patient...
