Skeletal immaturity may protect against arthrofibrosis after ACL reconstruction
Results showed 3.9% of pediatric and adolescent patients who underwent ACL reconstruction developed arthrofibrosis; however, skeletally immature patients had significantly lower rates of arthrofibrosis vs. skeletally mature patients.
Augmented ACL reconstruction yielded faster functional recovery vs. no augmentation
ACL reconstruction with bone marrow aspirate, demineralized bone matrix and suture tape may improve functional outcomes.
Three-dimensional-printing-guided preoperative planning of upper and lower extremity pediatric orthopedic surgeries: A systematic review of surgical outcomes
Three-dimensional printing has evolved into a cost-effective and accessible tool. In orthopedic surgery, creating patient-specific anatomical models and instrumentation improves visualization and surgical accuracy. In pediatric orthopedics, three-dimensional printing reduces operating time, radiation exposure, and blood loss by enhancing surgical efficacy. This review compares outcomes of three-dimensional printing–assisted surgeries with conventional surgeries for upper and lower extremity pediatric surgeries.
