View article: Population-based incidence and demographic patterns of traumatic joint dislocations in children and adolescents
Population-based incidence and demographic patterns of traumatic joint dislocations in children and adolescents Open
Background and purpose: Limited population-based data is available concerning traumatic joint dislocations in children and adolescents. We aimed to determine the incidence, typical locations, and demographic patterns of joint dislocations …

Proximal femoral fractures in children: incidence, complications, and functional outcomes—a population-based study from Finland Open
Background and purpose: Pediatric proximal femoral fractures are rare and frequently complicated fractures with avascular necrosis (AVN), nonunion, deformity, leg-length discrepancy (LLD), and premature physeal closure (PPC). Our aim was t…

Casting vs Surgical Treatment of Children With Medial Epicondyle Fractures Open
Importance Displaced pediatric medial humeral epicondyle fractures are traditionally treated nonoperatively with casting. However, the use of surgical treatment has increased despite limited high-level evidence supporting its benefits. Obj…

Refractures in Children Open
Background: Fractures are common in children, but knowledge about refractures has been limited. This study aimed to determine the rate of radiographically confirmed refractures within 2 years of the primary fracture in children and to anal…

The construct validity and internal consistency of QuickDASH in pediatric patients with upper extremity fractures Open
Background and purpose: Investigation of treatment options in the pediatric population necessitates the use of valid patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We aimed to assess the construct validity and internal consistency of the Quick…
View article: Epidemiology and risk factors for premature physeal closure in distal femur fractures
Epidemiology and risk factors for premature physeal closure in distal femur fractures Open
Background and purpose: Premature physeal closure (PPC) is a common and concerning complication to distal femoral fractures as the distal growth plate accounts for 70% of the growth of the femur. The literature is not unanimous in determin…

The Risk of Nerve Injury in Pediatric Forearm Fractures Open
Update This article was updated on July 19, 2023, because of a previous error, which was discovered after the preliminary version of the article was posted online. On page 1080, in the last sentence of the Results section of the Abstract, …
View article: Epidemiology and management of proximal tibia fractures in children and adolescents: a population-based study based on the Kids’ Fracture Tool
Epidemiology and management of proximal tibia fractures in children and adolescents: a population-based study based on the Kids’ Fracture Tool Open
Background and purpose: Proximal tibial fractures are infrequent injuries in children, and the literature on epidemiology, associated injuries, and management is limited. We calculated a population-based incidence and described the charact…

Premature Physeal Closure after a Non-Displaced Physeal Fracture of Distal Fibula Open
Premature physeal closure (PPC) may lead to clinically significant progressive angular deformity or leg length discrepancy. Many variables seem to play a role in determining which injuries result in PPC. A 8- year-old boy sustained a non-d…

Casting in finger trap traction without reduction versus closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation of dorsally displaced, over-riding distal metaphyseal radius fractures in children under 11 years old: a study protocol of a randomised controlled trial Open
Introduction Distal radius is the most common site of fracture in children, comprising 23%–31% of all paediatric fractures. Approximately one-fifth of these fractures are displaced. Completely displaced distal metaphyseal radius fractures …

Cast immobilization in bayonet position versus reduction and pin fixation of overriding distal metaphyseal radius fractures in children under ten years of age: A case control study Open
Purpose Completely displaced distal radius fractures in children have been traditionally reduced and immobilized with a cast or pin fixed. Cast immobilization leaving the fracture displaced in the bayonet position has been recently suggest…

Most surgeons still prefer to reduce overriding distal radius fractures in children Open
Background and purpose - Traditionally, overriding distal radius fractures in children have been reduced and immobilized with a cast or treated with percutaneous pin fixation. There is recent evidence that these fractures heal well if immo…

Reduced Number of Pediatric Orthopedic Trauma Requiring Operative Treatment during COVID-19 Restrictions: A Nationwide Cohort Study Open
Background and Aims: The coronavirus outbreak significantly changed the need of healthcare services. We hypothesized that the COVID-19 pandemic decreased the frequency of pediatric fracture operations. We also hypothesized that the frequen…
View article: Routine radiographic follow-up is not necessary after physeal fractures of the distal tibia in children
Routine radiographic follow-up is not necessary after physeal fractures of the distal tibia in children Open
Background and purpose - Unnecessary radiographic and clinical follow-ups are common in treatment of pediatric fractures. We hypothesized that follow-up radiographs are unnecessary to monitor union of physeal fractures of the distal tibia.…

One in Three of Pediatric Tibia Shaft Fractures is Currently Treated Operatively: A 6-Year Epidemiological Study in two University Hospitals in Finland Treatment of Pediatric Tibia Shaft Fractures Open
Background: Internal fixation of pediatric tibia shaft fractures has become increasingly popular despite the fact that non-operative treatment results in satisfactory outcome with few exceptions. Indications for surgery and benefits of int…
