  This case report discusses a case of aneursymal bone cyst of the proximal phalanx of the thumb in a child

  

  Abstract:

  Aneursymal Bone Cysts (ABCs) involving the hand are a rare occurrence. We report a case of an ABC of the proximal phalanx of the thumb in a boy which was treated successfully with curettage and autologous bone grafting. When the diagnosis of ABC of the small bones of the hand is entertained, prompt therapeutic intervention is indicated because of the potential for aggressive local more...

  This case report describes the pattern of early childhood seizures within a family with autosomal dominant chondrocalcinosis (CCAL, which causes adult-onset arthritis)

  

  Abstract:

  We describe the pattern of early childhood seizures within a family with autosomal dominant chondrocalcinosis (CCAL, which causes adult-onset arthritis). All affected family members with CCAL experienced seizures in early childhood, usually, but not always, associated with fever. Similarities exist to the syndrome of generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). A mutation more...

  This case report discusses a case of traumatic Hangman's fracture in a child under the age of 3 years and the only case where there is a strong probability of child abuse

  

  Abstract:

  This report highlights the difficulties associated with diagnosing cervical spine injuries in children especially as the history and mechanism of injury may often be unclear and the normal variations in roentgenographic appearance may be confusing. As far as we are aware this is only the second case of traumatic Hangman's fracture in a child under the age of 3 years and the only case more...

  Abstract:

  Osteoid osteoma localised in the scapula are very rare. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl, who presented with an osteoid osteoma at the neck of the glenoid. This was excised en bloc after being located accurately by computed tomography. This case report demonstrates the difficulty in the approach to the excision of this unusually located lesion. more...

  These case reports discuss two cases of osteomyelitis of the ischiopubic synchondrosis and describe findings on radiographs, isotope bone scan, computed tomograph and magnetic resonance imaging

  

  Abstract:

  Osteomyelitis of the ischiopubic synchondrosis in children is not rare and presents a diagnostic problem because of the diversity of presentation and the deceptive nature of symptoms. Radiological assessment is extremely difficult because of the variation in normal ossification on radiography and normal physiological uptake on radioisotope bone scan. We present two cases of more...

  This case report discusses a case of a de novo 10p11.21p12.1 microdeletion in a boy with multiple problems including a beaten copper appearance of the cranium on skull X-ray and pseudoarthrosis of the right clavicle

  

  Abstract:

  Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC) has been described in several genetic conditions including Floating-Harbor and Goltz syndromes, but rarely as a prompt to specific cytogenetic abnormalities. We report on a case of a de novo 10p11.21p12.1 microdeletion in a boy with multiple problems including a beaten copper appearance of the cranium on skull X-ray and pseudoarthrosis of more...

  This case report discusses the case of a boy who developed osteopenia and sustained multiple long-bone fractures over a 5-year period after bone marrow transplant for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome

  

  Abstract:

  Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is a rare inherited disorder characterised by thrombocytopenia, eczema, and immunodeficiency. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a well-established modality of treatment now routinely used and often curative. We report the case of a boy who developed osteopenia and sustained multiple long-bone fractures over a 5-year period after bone marrow transplant more...

  This case report discusses a case of spina bifida occulta in an 11-year old girl presenting with isthmic spondylolisthesis

  

  Abstract:

  An 11-year-old girl presented with symptomatic grade IIB isthmic type spondylolisthesis, with an elongated pars, confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Posterolateral in situ fusion of L5/S1 was performed. At surgery, a significant bony defect in the posterior aspect of S1 was noted. Awareness of this possible co-existence is paramount if iatrogenic damage to neural elements is more...

  This case report discusses the case of a three-year-old girl referred to our fracture clinic as an occult osteomyelitis fracture following trauma to her forearm with normal initial radiographs

  

  Abstract:

  Paediatric subacute osteomyelitis (SAO) presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to clinicians. Typically located in the metaphysis of long bones, diaphyseal SAO of the upper limb is rare. We present the case of a three-year-old girl referred to our fracture clinic as an occult fracture following trauma to her forearm with normal initial radiographs. Follow-up radiographs one more...

  This case report discusses two cases and a paper review which describes a variant of tibial hemimelia, previously undescribed in the literature and not classifiable by either of the established classification systems

  

  Abstract:

  A variant of tibial hemimelia, previously undescribed in the literature and not classifiable by either of the established classification systems, is described. The features of this condition include a short, deformed tibia; proximal subluxation of the fibula at the knee; a normal knee joint and an ankle joint that may look abnormal but falls short of true diastasis of the joint. more...

• 16.   Traumatic posterior dislocation of hip in children

  These case reports discuss two cases of traumatic posterior dislocation of hip in children aged 3 and 14 years

  

  Abstract:

  Traumatic posterior dislocation of the hip joint in children is an uncommon injury. It constitutes a true orthopedic emergency. It makes up over 80% of pediatric hip dislocations. In children, it can occur as a result of minimal trauma, which is attributed to a soft pliable acetabulum and ligamentous laxity. In skeletally mature adolescents, a greater force is required to dislocate the more...

• 17.   Triple pelvic osteotomy in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease using a single anterolateral incision

  This case report discusses the case of a 12-year-old child with residual acetabular dysplasia, resulting from Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, which was treated by a triple pelvic osteotomy performed by a small single anterolateral incision

  

  Abstract:

  Pelvic osteotomy has a small role to play in the management of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Residual acetabular dysplasia or incongruity can be corrected by rotational acetabuloplasty. In skeletally immature patients this can be performed by complete or incomplete innominate osteotomies. We present the case of a 12-year-old child with residual acetabular dysplasia, resulting from more...
