@southNJscoli@deln_ioann Agree, 100%. Be mindful and sometimes even take a traction Xray to be prepared for intercondylar split in tea type fracture. These can sometimes behave well with hybrid fixation, including a cannulated screw across the distal humerus and K wires for the supracondylar component

@deln_ioann I think the challenge here is that we don’t really know what the effects long-term are of guided growth in particular for ambulant children. Guided growth creates a Perthes like hip, which can lead to abductor fatigue and trochanteric and impingement in the long term.
@southNJscoli@Survive_Repair Yes I think this study has a bit more merit because not based on a database but actual patients. The challenge with large databases is the the VTE diagnosis is often secondary which affects the accuracy of the results and conclusions. Great work all
@southNJscoli@InvictaOrtho For me I look at age, infection and central line
Those are primary risk factors
- infection is the biggest risk factor
Secondary are family history of vte, oral contraception and obesity
