Neonatal Orthopaedics First Edition: 2003 Second Edition: 2013 ISBN 978-93-5090-372-8 Printed at (021)66485438 66485457 www.ketabpezeshki.com Foreword There has been a phenomenal breakthrough in the diagnosis and management of orthopaedic maladies in the last 50 years. This is partly because of introduction of newer alloys and different plastics in the construction of implants and orthosis, production of newer antibiotics, better understanding of biomechanics of bones and joints in the health and disease, and introduction of more efficient imaging techniques. Newer technology has advanced our horizon of knowledge, particularly, the advancement of information technology. Better methods of management of trauma with image intensifiers and better implants for fracture fixation, availability of various joint implants, advances in management of spinal injuries and deformities have vastly increased our capability to treat complicated abnormalities with much better functional results. Arthoscopic techniques have vastly improved the diagnosis of joint injuries and diseases with a minimum damage to joint structures and much early restoration of normal function. As a result of these advances, it has become increasingly difficult for any individual surgeon to become expert in all the different techniques of surgery. Consequently, a number of subspecialties have emerged, e.g. Joint Replacement Surgery, Spinal Surgery, Arthroscopic Surgery, Paediatric Orthopaedics, Trauma Surgery and so on. One of the subspecialties, which is getting popular, is paediatric orthopaedics. This deals with the diagnosis and management of diseases and injuries of bones, joints, muscles and nerves in children whose disease manifestations and management are quite different from adults. Neonatal orthopaedics is an offshoot of this specialty, which deals with the orthopaedic problems in neonates. Congenital deformities and abnormalities of muscles, bones and joints need to be diagnosed immediately or soon after birth in order to start treatment as early as possible. These need special awareness and expertise. Infections of bones and joints in the neonates pose special problems in diagnosis and management. Early effective treatment restores a normal anatomy and functions. Immediate correction of congenital deformities gives better correction before the structures get more rigid. This is comparatively a newer branch of orthopaedics, which is drawing the attention of some paediatric orthopaedicians. In our country, though paediatric orthopaedics is an established specialty, not many surgeons are yet interested to devote their attention to neonatal orthopaedic problems. It is very encouraging that an experienced orthopaedic surgeon like Dr N De Mazumder has become interested in this new subspecialty and has written a book on this subject highlighting the special problems in orthopaedic affections in neonates. He had been the Professor and Head of orthopaedic service of a large hospital, such as Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratishthan, Vivekananda Institute of Medical Sciences, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, which has also a large Obstetric Department. Consequently, he had the opportunity to study neonates also. He has written very lucidly with excellent diagrams covering the different aspects of this new specialty. I am sure that the book will be of great interest to orthopaedic surgeons, paediatric orthopaedic specialists as well as paediatricians.

Presently, the revised edition is being published. The first edition of this book published by M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi, India, has been reviewed by Indian Journal of Orthopaedics in the April 2003 issue of the journal; a few lines are being coined here from Dr Ashok Kumar’s review. This book is timely and has fulfilled a need of having a single source of information on neonatal orthopaedic problems and will serve as an important reference for the practicing orthopaedicians as well as the paediatricians. There is a wealth of information contained in this book. Overall, this book makes an interesting reading and will be a valuable addition to any medical library and is strongly recommended for postgraduate students, orthopaedicians, neonatologists and paediatricians. The research, in the field of neonatal orthopaedics, has yet to get a momentum as many of the neonatal orthopaedic conditions have not been explored even today. Newer antenatal and natal diagnostic facilities are evolving with time. An effort is made to describe the diagnostic points to achieve a neonatal diagnosis. As written in the preface of the first edition, the details of surgical technique of the operations necessary for the correction of the neonatal deformities were avoided as the operations described were mostly undertaken long after the neonatal period. All the 45 chapters with addition of keywords with each chapter, have been reviewed thoroughly with some illustrations added to bring out an effect of clarity of the conditions described. I am indebted to Professor Niloy Kanti Das for providing me with some clinical photographs. As this book has fulfilled to some extent, the need of postgraduate students, I have purposely kept it in an abridged form without much elaboration. The book Essentials of Paediatric Orthopaedics edited by me and published by M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers in 2007 has covered the paediatric orthopaedic conditions in a greater detail with an eye to present the readers, a comprehensive discussion on the subject. In the two books Neonatal Orthopaedics and Essentials of Paediatric Orthopaedics, I have tried to bring in the management of paediatric orthopaedic disorders from their onset in utero to the fully grown condition. My sincere thanks go to the M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi, India.

An involvement in orthopaedic practice, especially in paediatric orthopaedics, for more than three decades has led me to think about an early diagnosis of the orthopaedic conditions in the neonatal period, i.e. within 4 weeks of birth; which gives

The causes of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are multifactorial with both intrinsic and extrinsic influences. While many studies focus on the intrinsic pathological causes, the possible long-term consequences resulting from extrinsic intrauterine physiological constraints merit additional consideration and further investigation. Infants with IUGR can exhibit early symmetric or late asymmetric growth abnormality patterns depending on the fetal stage of development, of which the latter is most common occurring in 70–80% of growth-restricted infants. Deformation is the consequence of extrinsic biomechanical factors interfering with normal growth, functioning, or positioning of the fetus in utero, typically arising during late gestation.

  • Necrotizing Enterocolitis in a Newborn Following Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment for Haemolytic Disease
    CASE REPORT Necrotizing Enterocolitis in a Newborn Following Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment for Haemolytic Disease Semra Kara1, Hulya Ulu-ozkan2, Yavuz Yilmaz2, Fatma Inci Arikan3, Ugur Dilmen4 and Yildiz Dallar Bilge3 ABSTRACT ABO iso-immunization is the most frequent haemolytic disease of the newborn. Treatment depends on the total serum bilirubin level, which may increase very rapidly in the first 48 hours of life in cases of haemolytic disease of the newborn. Phototherapy and, in severe cases, exchange transfusion are used to prevent hyperbilirubinaemic encephalopathy. Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) are used to reduce exchange transfusion. Herein, we present a female newborn who was admitted to the NICU because of ABO immune haemolytic disease. After two courses of 1 g/kg of IVIG infusion, she developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Administration of IVIG to newborns with significant hyperbilirubinaemia due to ABO haemolytic disease should be cautiously administered and followed for complications.

The infant had 1- and 5-minute APGAR scores of 9 and 9, weighed 3.625 kg (54th %ile), and had a head circumference of 34.5 cm (30th %ile). Following a challenging delivery of the head during C/s, the infant was noted to have left-sided parietal and occipital bogginess, and an ultrasound was ordered due to concern for subgaleal hematoma. PEDIATRIC HEAD ULTRASOUND: SUBGALEAL HEMATOMA Superficial pediatric head ultrasound showing moderately echogenic fluid collection (green arrow), superficial to the periosteum (blue arrow), crossing the sagittal suture (red arrow). Findings on U/S consistent with large parieto-occipital subgaleal hematoma. PEDIATRIC HEAD ULTRASOUND: SUBGALEAL HEMATOMA Superficial pediatric head ultrasound showing moderately echogenic fluid collection (green arrow), consistent with large parieto-occipital subgaleal hematoma. CLINICAL FOLLOW UP - Subgaleal hematoma was confirmed on ultrasound and the infant was transferred from the newborn nursery to the NICU for close monitoring, including hourly head circumferences and repeat hematocrit measurements - Serial head circumferences remained stable around 34 cm and hematocrit remained stable between 39 and 41 throughout hospital course - The infant was subsequently treated with phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia, thought to be secondary to resorption of the SGH IN A NUTSHELL:

In order to provide adequate treatment to a patient with a subtype of Oromandibular Limb Hypogenesis Syndromes (OLHS), this study aimed to review and to analyze the current literature and treatment options of OLHS. Methods. Literature review in PubMed and Sciencedirect. Due to the small number of results, all available references were analyzed precisely. Results. Cases of OLHS are formerly rare and often incomplete. There are various classifications available, which, however, often seem confusing and are of little practical relevance. Furthermore, we present a complete case report of a patient with Charlie M syndrome, a type IV (Chicarilli)/ V (Hall) OLHS malformation. We also describe embryologic pathogenesis and differential diagnoses. Conclusion. As a result of our literature review, we recommend an adjusted classification for OLHS.
