This study examined slipped upper femoral epiphysis fixation with a single screw
Abstract:
We conducted a retrospective, clinical and radiological study of fixation with a single screw in slipped upper femoral epiphysis. Forty children (53 hips) who had a slipped upper femoral epiphysis were managed by in-situ pinning with a single cannulated screw. The average age of these patients was 12.7 years and their average weight was above the 50th centile at the time of diagnosis. 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 a case of successful renal transplantation in a child with Kabuki syndrome
Abstract:
We report a case of successful renal transplantation in a child with Kabuki syndrome. We discuss the potential problems that might be encountered following kidney transplantation in children with Kabuki syndrome, and the management of these problems. We conclude that kidney transplantation is a feasible and appropriate treatment option for renal impairment in children with this syndrome. more...

Abstract:
We report long-term follow up data on cadaveric renal transplantation for end stage renal failure (ESRF) in spina bifida children. Between February 1989 and July 2001, 12 cadaveric renal transplants were performed in 10 children, eight females and two males. Mean age at transplantation was 13.4 yr (range 9-16). Of the patients, eight were wheelchair bound and two were independently more...

The aim of this study was to examine use of the Amplatzer device in 150 patients with interatrial communications
Abstract:
The Amplatzer Septal Occluder is made from a Nitinol wire mesh shaped into 2 disks with a connecting waist, which serves to center the device in the defect while occluding it. The Amplatzer device is also available in a configuration with no central waist for use in patients with patent oval foramen, or multi-perforated aneurysm of the interatrial septum. For the purposes of this more...

This case report discusses use of a Fogarty balloon with extraction forceps for the controlled retrieval of an endobronchial foreign body
Abstract:
Foreign body aspiration is a common problem in children necessitating prompt recognition and early treatment to minimize the potentially serious and sometimes even fatal consequences. We report the case of a 7 year old girl with a peanut lodged in her right main bronchus. Bronchoscopy identified the foreign body which was then removed by the combined use of a Fogarty balloon catheter more...

Abstract:
A retrospective analysis of the natural history and treatment outcome of scoliosis, both idiopathic and syndromic, presenting before age 10 years was undertaken. The pattern was generally one of relentless progression, with little discernible benefit from orthotic treatment and surgical correction as the outcome for the majority. This result makes imperative a properly constructed study more...

This case report discusses the case of a non-ambulant, 13-year-old boy from Chernobyl, who did not have access to early replacement therapy, and whose deformity was managed using the Ilizarov external fixator
Abstract:
Severe factor IX deficiency is an X-linked disorder which gives rise to spontaneous and often life-threatening bleeds. The major source of morbidity worldwide is recurrent haemarthroses, giving rise to joint destruction and deformity. However, the incidence of spontaneous haemarthroses has decreased since the advent of prophylactic home-based, on-demand, early replacement therapy. We more...

This study examined 5 patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic Broviac insertion for long-term access over a 4-year period in a single institution
Abstract:
Vascular access in paediatric patients with chronic and/or life-threatening illness is crucial to survival. Access is frequently lost in this group because of thrombosis, infection, or displacement, and vascular options can quickly be exhausted. The last resort access procedure is generally a direct atrial catheter inserted via a thoracotomy. A viable alternative is the percutaneous more...
