Classification of stress fractures of the first rib in adolescent athletes
This study proposed a classification system and a possible mechanism for stress fractures of the first rib using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). The data of 10 stress fractures of the first rib in adolescent athletes obtained using 3D-CT between 2007 and 2018 were reviewed. Fractures of the first rib were classified according to the location and type of the fracture line. Stress fractures of the first rib were classified into three types: type 1, center-transverse fracture; type 2, center to posterior-oblique fracture; and type 3, posterior-transverse fracture. There were three type 1 fractures, five type 2 ...

Assessment of hand function using the functional dexterity test after opponensplasty in young children with Blauth type 2 hypoplastic thumb
The functional dexterity test (FDT) is a timed pegboard test based on the manipulation of each peg and suitable for young children as it is both simple and quick to perform. We assessed the postoperative FDT values for children with Blauth type 2 hypoplastic thumbs after opponensplasty. We evaluated hand function using FDT for 12 hands of 11 patients with Blauth type 2 hypoplastic thumbs. Opponensplasty was performed in all hands following by Huber’s procedure. All patients were evaluated from 6 to 12 months after surgery for hand function using three types of FDT scores: time in seconds to complete the test (FDT time)...

Upper extremity anomalies in children with femoral and fibular deficiency
Defects occurring in the femoral–fibular–ulnar developmental field are believed to cause the cluster of anomalies seen with femoral, fibular and ulnar limb deficiencies. Upper limb function must be considered in the management of lower limb deficiencies. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and type of upper extremity anomalies found in children with femoral and/or fibular deficiency. A retrospective review of 327 consecutive patients with the diagnosis of femoral and/or fibular deficiency was performed using existing records and radiographs. Characteristics of those with and without upper extremity ...

Risk factors associated with neonatal brachial plexus palsy in the United States
Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) is a birth injury that can cause severe functional loss in the affected limb. The purpose of this study was to determine the temporal changes in the national incidence of this condition and whether associated risk factors have changed over time. Children born via vaginal delivery were identified in the Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID) from 1997 to 2012, and those with NBPP were identified. The trend in incidence and risk factors were assessed through the study period. The nationwide incidence of NBPP decreased during the study period. Infants with shoulder dystocia, fetal macrosomia, a...

Naviculectomy for two ambulatory children with intractable congenital vertical talus: redefining the indications of an old technique
We reported favorable results in terms of foot appearance, function and radiology. We believe that a less invasive procedure like naviculectomy/midtarsal resection is an encouraging technique to investigate in children with intractable congenital vertical talus.

A new anchoring technique for tibialis anterior tendon transfer
This study included 26 feet in 18 patients, who underwent tibialis anterior tendon transfer as a part of management of their congenital clubfoot. The mean age was 3.6 years (ranging from 2.5 to 5 years), all patients were followed up for 6 to 30 months (mean = 14 months). The transferred tibialis anterior tendon was anchored in the third cuneiform using transfixing K wires. This novel technique resulted in successful and stable anchoring of the transferred tibialis anterior tendon. The transferred tendon was well palpated in all patients with active dorsiflexion, with no associated tendon rupture, anchoring problems, or wo...

Unsuspected tarsal coalitions in equinus and varus foot deformities
Tarsal coalitions have been reported in the setting of equinovarus foot deformities, but only as rare isolated findings. Failure to recognize this diagnosis may inhibit successful equinovarus correction. Here, we review a series of tarsal coalitions seen in congenital and neuropathic equinovarus deformity at two institutions, to report the breakdown of types of coalitions encountered, and to suggest methodology to facilitate earlier diagnosis. The records of all patients treated by two of the authors for bilateral equinovarus deformities and found to have either a unilateral or bilateral tarsal coalition between 2006 and 2...

Stable childhood osteochondral lesions of the talus: short-term radiographic outcomes suggest risk for early osteoarthritis
Recent literature suggests that adults do not necessarily develop osteoarthritis if they have an osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). The purpose of this study was to determine if children with OLT are at risk to develop any radiographic evidence of early joint degeneration despite treatment efforts. Fifty-six ankles were identified over 6 years with stable OLT that underwent operative treatment. Preoperatively, each lesion was classified according to Berndt-Hardy for radiographs, Hepple for MRI, and Ferkel and Sgaglione for computed tomography. Radiographs were also evaluated for physeal status, OLT characteristics (l...
