Pediatric upper extremity injuries
Pediatric clinics of North America, 2006Co-Authors: Sarah Carson, Dale P. Woolridge, Jim Colletti, Kevin P. KilgoreAbstract:The pediatric musculoskeletal system differs greatly from that of an adult. Although these differences diminish with age, they present unique injury patterns and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric Orthopedic Problems.

The Relationship Between Duration of Physical Therapy Services in the Acute Care Setting and Change in Functional Status in Patients With Lower-Extremity Orthopedic Problems
Physical therapy, 1998Co-Authors: Kathryn E. Roach, Deanna Ally, Brian Finnerty, Dennis Watkins, Bini A Litwin, Brenda Janz-hoover, Tracilyn Watson, Kathleen A. CurtisAbstract:Background and Purpose. This study examined the relationship between the duration of physical therapy and functional status at discharge. Subjects. The subjects were 173 inpatients, with a mean age of 67.9 years (SD=20.5, range=18–101), referred to physical therapy with lower-extremity Orthopedic Problems. Methods. For this retrospective cohort study, medical and physical therapy quality assurance records were used. Functional status, at initiation of and discharge from physical therapy, was measured using the Acute Care Index of Function (ACIF). The ACIF scores, which ranged from 0 to 100, were obtained from quality assurance records. The duration of physical therapy was the number of minutes of physical therapy billed to each patient, as determined from billing records. Results. Subjects received an average of 238.5 minutes of physical therapy (SD=153.6, range=15–1,110). Function improved an average of 15.4 points (SD=17.0, range=−27.4 to 64.9), and the duration of physical therapy was an important predictor of functional status at discharge after controlling for age, length of hospitalization, number of diagnoses, and initial functional status. Conclusion and Discussion. This study provides evidence that the amount of physical therapy that patients with some types of Orthopedic Problems receive is directly related to the functional improvement that occurs during hospitalization in an acute care setting.

Selected Orthopedic Problems in the elderly.
Rheumatic diseases clinics of North America, 2000Co-Authors: Jeffrey A. Goldstein, Joseph D. ZuckermanAbstract:The changes that occur in the body as part of the normal aging process and the degenerative changes that often accompany them predispose the elderly to various Orthopedic Problems. Age, general health, and functional level are all important factors in determining the optimum management of these patients. Treatments are aimed at restoring patient independence and activity to preinjury levels, while at the same time minimizing the risks of treatment complications.

Orthopedic management of the extremities in patients with Morquio A syndrome.
Journal of children's orthopaedics, 2014Co-Authors: Klane K. White, Andrea Jester, C. Edward Bache, Paul Harmatz, Renée Shediac, Mihir M. Thacker, William G. MackenzieAbstract:Background Musculoskeletal involvement in Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis IVA; MPS IVA) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality. While the spinal manifestations of the disorder have received considerable attention in the literature, there have been few reported studies to date to guide the management of the Orthopedic Problems associated with the lower and upper extremities.

Skeletal complications in mucopolysaccharidosis VI patients: Case reports
Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Paula Garcia, Sérgio B. Sousa, Tah Pu Ling, Mario Conceicao, Jorge Seabra, Klane K. White, Luísa DiogoAbstract:Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VI is an inheritable lysosomal storage disorder that is often associated with severe Orthopedic Problems such as hip dysplasia, spinal deformities, and deformities in the skull, knees and hands. We describe the progression and management of three MPS VI cases with focus on their Orthopedic Problems.
