Download or read book Children s Upper and Lower Limb Fractures written by Michael K.D Benson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book starts appropriately in considering the principles which should govern our care of the injured child and the background factors which influence fracture epidemiology. Knowing how to manage the multiply injured child and recognizing the one who has been non-accidentally injured are essential skills in our specialty. Injuries to the growth plate are not always easy to recognize and manage but, if we fail to do so, the long-term consequences may be serious. Succeeding chapters describe childhood injuries and fractures regionally. Conservative fracture management has not been forgotten amidst the plethora of newer methods of surgical fixation.

Download or read book Compartment Syndrome written by Cyril Mauffrey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compartment syndrome is a complex physiologic process with significant potential harm, and though an important clinical problem, the basic science and research surrounding this entity remains poorly understood. This unique open access book fills the gap in the knowledge of compartment syndrome, re-evaluating the current state of the art on this condition. The current clinical diagnostic criteria are presented, as well as the multiple dilemmas facing the surgeon. Pathophysiology, ischemic thresholds and pressure management techniques and limitations are discussed in detail. The main surgical management strategy, fasciotomy, is then described for both the upper and lower extremities, along with wound care. Compartment syndrome due to patient positioning, in children and polytrauma patients, and unusual presentations are likewise covered. Novel diagnosis and prevention strategies, as well as common misconceptions and legal ramifications stemming from compartment syndrome, round out the presentation. Unique and timely, Compartment Syndrome: A Guide to Diagnosis and Management will be indispensable for orthopedic and trauma surgeons confronted with this common yet challenging medical condition.

This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Boston Children's Illustrated Tips and Tricks in Pediatric Orthopaedic Fracture Surgery, First Edition is part of the expanding Illustrated Tips and Tricks Series. Like others in the series, the approach is different in that it doesn't offer a comprehensive review of surgical procedures, nor does it offer a comprehensive review of the underlying orthopaedic trauma knowledge base and its management. Instead, it offers the sort of wisdom attending surgeons pass on to residents or fellows about how to perform surgery. These tips and tricks are often highly technical and contextual. Residents and fellows often take notes on this advice and these notes served as the foundation for the first edition in the series. Boston Children's Illustrated Tips and Tricks in Pediatric Orthopaedic Fracture Surgery, First Edition originates from what is currently the #1 rated children's hospital in the country. Coverage includes all areas of pediatric orthopaedic trauma including upper extremity, hip, and lower extremity, including foot and ankle trauma"--

Download or read book Variables Influencing Time Since Injury of Pediatric Healing Fractures written by Diana Lynn Messer and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skeletal fractures, a common injury in physically abused children, often go undetected and untreated for significant lengths of time. In such cases, accurate radiographic estimation of time since injury of healing fractures may be essential to identification and characterization of child physical abuse, in both clinical and forensic contexts. However, fracture dating is imprecise in large part because the factors that influence time of healing, particularly in children, are unclear. Scientific, radiographic studies of pediatric fracture healing are limited and often universally applied to patients of all ages and fractures from various locations. Clinical experience and scientific research suggest that a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence time of healing, including patient age and fracture location. However, to date, no timelines of pediatric fracture healing accommodate for these variables. This study comprehensively evaluates the effect of patient age and fracture location to time of fracture healing through a retrospective, radiographic study of unintentional long bone fractures of the upper and lower limb in a modern pediatric sample. Findings from this study indicate that patient age and fracture location significantly affect time of fracture healing in children. Children less than two years old exhibited new bone formation significantly earlier and children less than three years old exhibited callus formation significantly earlier. There were significant differences in time of healing between upper and lower limb fractures. SPNBF occurred approximately a week earlier in upper limb fractures and callus formation occurred approximately four days earlier in upper limb fractures. In addition, there were differences in bone type within region, with the larger bones of each region (humerus, femur) reaching hard callus significantly later than other bones within each region. Finally, SPNBF and hard callus were observed significantly earlier in non-diaphyseal compared to diaphyseal fractures. To increase accuracy of radiographic time since injury estimation, timelines of pediatric fracture healing should be specific to patient age and fracture location. Existing timelines of pediatric fracture healing, particularly those based on combined samples of patient ages and fracture locations, should be used with caution and not universally applied.

Download or read book Children s Upper and Lower Limb Orthopaedic Disorders written by Michael K.D Benson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having considered the more generalised neuromuscular and skeletal problems of childhood in the previous two books, we concentrate in this book on regional disorders. The upper limb chapters describe foetal development and how this may go wrong. As always, function dominates our management plans although cosmetic considerations must be borne in mind. Perinatal brachial plexus injury is analysed and a plea made for early recognition and reconstruction of both plexus lesions and peripheral nerve injuries. The lower limb chapters consider limb deficiency and deformity and how best we should manage them. Those prominent afflictions of the child’s hip - dysplasia, Perthes’ disease and epiphyseal slipping - are fully discussed. Chapters on the common conditions affecting the knee, foot and ankle complete this section.
