Pediatr Ann. 2024 Apr;53(4):e121-e128. doi: 10.3928/19382359-20240205-02. Epub 2024 Apr 1.ABSTRACTAtopic dermatitis (AD) is extremely common in the pediatric population, and most children with AD will first present to their primary care provider (PCP). The PCP can recognize AD by its clinical features, including itch, a chronic relapsing course, and the characteristic eruption. The cornerstone of AD therapy is dry skin care, typically a short daily bath/shower followed by an emollient applied to all skin. Most children with AD will also require topical medications, such as topical corticosteroids and/or topical nonsteroida...

Review of Current Concepts in Metatarsus Adductus
Pediatr Ann. 2024 Apr;53(4):e152-e156. doi: 10.3928/19382359-20240206-02. Epub 2024 Apr 1.ABSTRACTMetatarsus adductus (MA), the most common congenital foot deformity, involves adduction of the forefoot at the tarsometatarsal joint, with normal hindfoot alignment. Early diagnosis is important because treatment is more successful if initiated before age 9 months. Treatment of MA depends on deformity severity, in which mild to moderate deformity can be treated conservatively. Current standard of care for severe or rigid deformity involves referral by primary care physicians to specialists for management by casting and splinti...
