  4. Most Common Pediatric Fractures and How to Prevent Them by Dr. Jill Larson

    ١١ سبتمبر

    Most Common Pediatric Fractures and How to Prevent Them by Dr. Jill Larson

    In this session from the 12th Annual Update Course in Pediatric Surgery, Dr. Jill Larson from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital outlines key strategies for preventing and managing the most common pediatric fractures—just in time for the seasonal surge. Key Highlights: • Timing of fractures: Fracture season peaks in spring, summer, and surprisingly, October—timing your prevention efforts matters • Top five fracture types: Wrist, ankle, elbow, forearm, and tibia fractures are the most common injuries treated in pediatric orthopedics. • What to treat—and how: Dr. Larson explains which fractures can be managed conservatively (e.g., buckle or greenstick) and which may need surgery (e.g., displaced triplane fractures). • Casting and immobilization tips: Includes guidance on when to splint, when to cast, and how long to monitor growth plate–involved injuries. • Injury prevention insights: From trampoline accidents to lawnmower-related trauma, this session covers key safety risks and how to address them proactively. • Nutrition and bone health: Vitamin D deficiency and obesity are contributing factors—highlighting the need for a holistic approach to fracture prevention. This session provides practical, seasonal insights for pediatric providers—and equips teams with the knowledge to protect growing bones before peak fracture months arrive.

  5. Update Course Rewind: When & How to Operate CDH Patients on ECMO 2024, Pt.2

    Update Course Rewind: When & How to Operate CDH Patients on ECMO 2024, Pt.2

    In this session from the 12th Annual Update Course in Pediatric Surgery, Drs. Rebecca Stark and Steven Lee from Seattle Children’s Hospital walk through the timing, technique, and evolving protocols for performing ECMO and surgical repair in cases of severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Key Highlights: VA ECMO with bivalirudin: The presenters advocate for bivalirudin as a preferred anticoagulant over heparin due to its short half-life, predictable response, and ease of control—making it ideal for ECMO patients requiring surgery.Dilute thrombin time for monitoring: They highlight a lab-friendly technique for monitoring bivalirudin using dilute thrombin time—5x more specific and sensitive than PTT and easily implementable in any lab.Safe and timely surgical repair on ECMO: Early CDH repair (within 8–24 hours of ECMO initiation) can be performed with minimal bleeding and less tissue edema when using bivalirudin and meticulous technique.Institutional buy-in for early repair: The team underscores the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration—including neonatologists, anesthesiologists, and weekend OR availability—to enable early ECMO repair protocols.Risk-stratified vs early repair strategy: Some centers risk-stratify ECMO patients, but Stark and Lee favor universal early repair to avoid complications associated with delayed surgery in non-weanable patients.Evolving national practices: As of this year, over 80% of CDH Study Group centers are now performing early repair on ECMO—showing how rapidly clinical protocols can shift with strong supporting data.This session emphasizes the role of proactive planning, team-based decision-making, and flexible protocol development in improving outcomes for neonates with severe CDH requiring ECMO.

    Update Course Rewind: Chest Wall Reconstruction 2024

    In this session from the 12th Annual Update Course in Pediatric Surgery, Dr. Margaret Mutch from Australia walks through the complexities of chest wall reconstruction following thoracic osteosarcoma resection in a pediatric patient. Key Highlights: Massive resection and reconstruction: A 14-year-old patient underwent an aggressive en bloc resection involving ribs 4–7 and vertebral bodies T4–T7. The team used a combination of resorbable molded plates, Permacol mesh, and Gore-Tex patches to stabilize and recreate the chest wall structure.Soft tissue closure with latissimus flap: A latissimus dorsi flap was mobilized for robust coverage, reducing dead space and supporting tissue healing over the reconstructed area.Use of ROLL technique for lymph node excision: The team employed radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) using Technetium-99 to precisely identify and remove targeted lymph nodes.Managing early complications: Postoperative challenges included sterile seromas, a wound infection, and mild scoliosis—all managed conservatively with good outcomes.Addressing recurrence and reoperation: When local recurrence occurred 18 months later, a second reconstruction involving the sternum and cement mesh was required, illustrating the long-term complexity of these cases.Future outlook for pediatric reconstructions: Dr. Mutch emphasized the lack of standardization in pediatric materials and techniques, pointing toward a future where custom 3D-printed implants and biologics may offer better long-term solutions.This session highlights the surgical precision, interdisciplinary coordination, and resilience required to manage large-scale reconstructions in growing children—where both oncologic control and functional outcomes must be balanced.
