Juvenile aponeurotic fibroma.

Juvenile aponeurotic fibroma is an uncommon benign tumor which occurs mostly in the hands and wrists of young children. It has a tendency to recur, especially in younger individuals, and this, combined with a rather cellular microscopic appearance, has led to mistaken diagnoses of malignancy. No instances of metastasis have been reported. Conservative therapy, consisting of excisional biopsy without sacrifice of vital structures, is indicated.

The effectiveness of shoe modifications for intoeing.

Shoe wedges have no immediate clinically significant effect on the angle of gait in children. The circular Torqheel was found to be more effetive, but still corrected only a quarter of the apparent rotatory deformity during gait.

Femoral anteversion and physical performance in adolescent and adult life.

The relationship between excessive idiopathic femoral anteversion and physical performance in adolescent and adult subjects is explored in 9 adults with excessive anteversion and in 10 age-matched controls subjected to extensive physical performance testing. Two hundred and forty-nine high school students were studied by assessing running speed and measuring hip rotation. Those with greatest internal rotation were isolated and compared with the total group. In both studies no relationship could be found between excessive anterversion and physical performance.

Medial-approach open reduction of hip dislocation in amyoplasia-type arthrogryposis.

In 95 children with amyoplasia-type arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, 40 hip dislocations in 26 patients were found. In 16 of these 26 patients, bilateral (nine patients) and unilateral (seven patients) dislocations were reduced by a medial-approach open reduction. The mean age at the time of surgery was 8.9 months. Acetabular development was satisfactory. Complications included one early redislocation, two hips with stiffness, and four of 25 hips with avascular necrosis (types 1 and 2). Overall 80% (five of seven unilateral, 15 of 18 bilateral hips) were rated good and 12% fair, and 8% (one of seven unilateral, one of 18 bilateral) were poor. Stiffness or asymmetry was not observed in the nine bilateral cases. This study suggests that dislocations in infants with amyoplasia may be successfully reduced by medial-approach open reduction. Bilateral reduction and concurrent correction of other lower limb contractures may be accomplished during the same surgical session.

Sprinting and intoeing.

The relationship between sprinting ability and intoeing was explored in a single blinded controlled study performed on 100 high school students. Rotational profiles and sprinting foot-progression angles were compared in 50 high school sprinters and 50 high school controls. Sprinters had a significantly lower (p < 0.05) thigh-foot angle than did controls. The mean thigh-foot angle for sprinters and controls was +3 and +10 degrees, respectively. Significantly more sprinters intoed during sprinting than controls (p < 0.05). Neither walking foot-progression angle nor hip rotation appears to be a factor in sprinting. The findings of this study suggest that low normal thigh-foot angles and sprinting intoed may correlate with sprinting ability. This information may reduce anxiety of parents of children with medial tibial torsion.
