Premature closure of the distal radial physis after fracture of the distal radial metaphysis.

Two fractures of the distal radius seemingly with lack of involvement of the distal radial physis are presented. Nevertheless, complete arrest of the adjacent physis occurred, suggesting a Salter-Harris V mechanism of injury to the vulnerable distal radial physis. Ulnar "overgrowth" produced impingement of the carpus and functional complaints sufficient to warrant treatment. In this clinical setting, an ulnar-shortening osteotomy done at skeletal maturity resulted in marked improvement in the range of motion at the radiocarpal joint and corresponding improvement in function for both patients so treated.

Standards in anterior spine surgery in pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis.

The authors reviewed 111 patients with neuromuscular disease who underwent anterior spine surgery for correction of scoliosis. An overall complication rate of 44.1% was found, 21.6% major and 22.5% minor. Pulmonary complications were the most common major complications, urinary tract infections the most common minor complications. The rate of complications was greater in patients with cerebral palsy, thoracoabdominal and transthoracic approaches, staged procedures, operative blood loss >1,000 mL, or previous spine surgery. In addition, statistical analysis confirmed that curve magnitude >100 degrees degrees was a risk factor for complications.
