Growing children are susceptible to a number of disorders to their lower extremities of varying degrees of severity. The diagnosis and management of these conditions can be challenging. With musculoskeletal symptoms being one of the leading reasons for visits to general practitioners, a working knowledge of the basics of these disorders can help in the appropriate diagnosis, treatment, counselling, and specialist referral. This review covers common disorders affecting the hip, the knee and the foot. The aim is to assist general practitioners in recognising developmental norms and differentiating physiological from pathological conditions and to identify when a specialist referral is necessary.

Reliability and sensitivity of radiographic measures of hip dysplasia in childhood Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Summary: This study identified reliable and sensitive radiographic measures for hip dysplasia in children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which can be prioritized for hip screening to mitigate the deleterious effects of hip dysplasia, pain, and disability in adulthood.

The modified Dunn procedure can be performed safely in stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis but does not alter avascular necrosis rates in unstable cases: a large single-centre cohort study

Oliver Birke, Justine St George, Paul J. Gibbons, David G. Little

Summary: After reviewing 217 cases of modified Dunn procedures, it was found that intraoperative monitoring significantly reduced the rate of non-viable femoral heads in stable SCFE, but had little effect in unstable SCFE. Pulsatile monitoring and viable SPECT-CT bone scan had high positive predictive value in preventing postoperative collapse. Further research is needed for the management of avascular necrosis in unstable SCFE.

Who Benefits From Allowing the Physis to Grow in Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis?

Breanna J. Winger, Ashlee M. Dobbe, Tegan L. Cheng, David G. Little, Paul J. Gibbons

Summary: The Free-Gliding Screw system can prevent slip progression and promote proximal femoral growth in patients with SCFE. Chronologic age is not a reliable predictor of screw lengthening, while open triradiate cartilage and a triradiate cartilage of <= 13 years old are associated with significant screw lengthening. This implant is particularly effective for prophylactic fixation.
