RESUMEN

Brachymetatarsia involves a reduction in length of one or more metatarsals. The affected metatarsal is shortened by 5 mm or more, altering the normal metatarsal parabola. In addition to being an aesthetic deformity, it can present with pain due to transfer metatarsalgia. A possible association with genetic disorders needs to be investigated during clinical evaluation. Surgical treatment may involve a one-stage lengthening procedure or progressive distraction, each having its advantages and limitations.

RESUMEN

The physis of the distal femur contributes to 70% of femoral growth and 37% of the total limb growth; therefore, physeal injury can lead to important alterations of axes and length. Distal metaphyseal corner-type fracture prior to walking is classically associated with child abuse. In children aged >10 years, sports-related fractures and car accidents are significant contributors. Imaging includes a two-plane radiographic study of the knee. It is recommended to obtain radiographs that include the entire femur to rule out concomitant injuries. In cases of high suspicion of distal metaphyseal fractures and no radiographic evidence, CT or MRI can show the existence of hidden fractures. Fractures with physeal involvement are conventionally classified according to the Salter-Harris classification, but the Peterson classification is also recommended as it includes special subgroups. Conservative and surgical management are valid alternatives for the treatment of these fractures. Choosing between both alternatives depends on factors related to the fracture type. As there is a high risk of permanent physeal damage, long-term follow-up is essential until skeletal maturity is complete.

RESUMEN

Ankle fractures are common in children, and they have specific implications in that patient population due to frequent involvement of the physis in a bone that has growth potential and unique biomechanical properties.Characteristic patterns are typically evident in relation to the state of osseous development of the segment, and to an extent these are age-dependent.In a specific type known as transitional fractures - which occur in children who are progressing to a mature skeleton -a partial physeal closure is evident, which produces multiplanar fracture patterns.Computed tomography should be routine in injuries with joint involvement, both to assess the level of displacement and to facilitate informed surgical planning.The therapeutic objectives should be to achieve an adequate functional axis of the ankle without articular gaps, and to protect the physis in order to avoid growth alterations.Conservative management can be utilized for non-displaced fractures in conjunction with strict radiological monitoring, but surgery should be considered for fractures involving substantial physeal or joint displacement, in order to achieve the therapeutic goals.

RESUMEN

El pie bot es la deformidad congénita más frecuente de las extremidades inferiores del ser humano, afectando a 1 de cada 1000 recién nacidos vivos. Consiste en la presencia de cuatro deformidades estructurales en el pie y el tobillo: cavo del medio pie, aducto del antepié, varo del retropié y pie en equino.Su registro en la humanidad data del siglo XII A.C. en momias del antiguo Egipto.La fisiopatología de esta deformidad aún no está aclarada. El diagnóstico puede ser prenatal mediante visualización ecográfica, pero la forma más común de diagnóstico es postnatal. La evaluación de estos pacientes se basa en la exploración clínica. Entre las clasificaciones más utilizadas se encuentran: Diméglio, que enfatiza lo reductible ante maniobras manuales de la deformidad; Pirani, que evalúa la gravedad inicial y el progreso del tratamiento; y Ponseti International Association (PIA), que clasifica según etiología.Durante el siglo pasado se describieron numerosos procedimientos quirúrgicos, muchos de los cuales fueron quedando en desuso ante sus resultados insatisfactorios, pies rígidos y dolorosos, con función limitada. Actualmente el método Ponseti es el Gold estándar para su tratamiento, consistiendo en una manipulación y enyesado seriado buscando la corrección sistemática del pie, basado en los fundamentos de la cinemática y la fisiopatología de la deformidad.


Clubfoot is the most frequent congenital deformity of the lower extremities of humans, affecting 1 out of 1000 live newborns. It consists of the presence of four structural deformities in the foot and ankle: midfoot cavus, forefoot adductus, hindfoot varus, and equinus foot.Its records in humanity date from the 12th century B.C., in ancient Egyptian mummies.The pathophysiology of this deformity is still unclear. Prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound imaging is feasible, but most common diagnosis is postnatal. The evaluation of these patients is based on clinical examination. Among the most used classifications are: Diméglio, which emphasizes the reductibility with manual maneuvers; Pirani, who assesses initial severity and progress of treatment; and Ponseti International Association (PIA), which classifies according to etiology.During the last century, numerous surgical procedures were described, many of which were disused due to their unsatisfactory results, stiffness and painful feet, with limited functionality. Currently the Ponseti method is the gold standard for its treatment. It consists of serial manipulation and casting, looking for a systematic correction of the deformity, based on the fundamentals of kinematics and pathophysiology of the deformity.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a wide pathological spectrum, from mild acetabular dysplasia to complete congenital hip dislocation at birth. Screening policies have been implemented in an effort to effectively identify and treat patients with DDH. Since 2009 there has been a national DDH programme in Chile. The current study evaluates the results of the programme in patients born between 2010 and 2015. METHODS: Records of patients hospitalized from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2019 were retrieved from national databases. Those born from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2015 who underwent a procedure for DDH under general anaesthesia during their first five years of life were selected. Sex, first surgical procedure and age at first surgical procedure were analyzed. The incidence of DDH that required major surgical treatment was calculated. RESULTS: A total of 961 children born from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2015 underwent a procedure for DDH during their first five years of life. The number of major procedures was significantly lower than the number of minor procedures (269 vs 692). The incidence of major procedures was 0.18 per 1000 live births. Girls underwent a higher number of procedures than boys (831 vs 130), whereas 39.2% of the boys and 26.2% of the girls had major procedures. The mean age at the time of the first procedure was 15.35 months (sd 10.09; range 0.03 to 55.92 months). CONCLUSION: The present study suggests that the Chilean National DDH Screening Program is an appropriate programme with substantial benefits with respect to public health. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

RESUMEN

Discoid meniscus is the most frequent congenital malformation of the menisci, and primarily affects the lateral meniscus; it is highly prevalent in the Asian population.The anatomic, vascular, and ultrastructural features of the discoid meniscus make it susceptible to complex tears.Discoid meniscus anomalies are described according to their shape; however, there is consensus that peripheral stability of the meniscus should also be defined.Initial workup includes plain X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging, while arthroscopic evaluation confirms shape and stability of the meniscus.Clinical presentation is highly variable, depending on shape, associated hypermobility, and concomitant meniscal tears.Treatment seeks to re-establish typical anatomy using saucerization, tear reparation, and stable fixation of the meniscus.

RESUMEN

Fractures of the anterior tibial tuberosity during childhood are an infrequent pathology (around 3% of all proximal tibial fractures), but the incidence of this injury has risen over recent years, likely due to the increased involvement of this age group in sports activities.This fracture is more commonly seen in children 12-14 years old.It is vital to identify the anatomical structures associated with this type of fracture, along with the pathophysiological mechanisms involved.Treatment includes non-operative and operative options, with the goal of achieving articular congruency, restoring the extensor mechanism function, and avoiding damage to the proximal tibial physis.Understanding the management of this fracture, and the complications that might arise, is critical. The provision of an appropriate clinical management plan and the avoidance of complications are vital in the prevention of disability. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2020;5:260-267.
