    Abstract Knee joint dislocation is a relatively uncommon injury but its management is important because of the associated high risk of vascular, neurological and multi-ligamentous knee injuries. Clinicians must be aware that not all knee dislocations are diagnosed on plain X-rays; a high index of suspicion is required based on clinical evaluation. Multidisciplinary specialist care is required in all cases to achieve best outcomes. Early one-stage or multiple staged ligament repair and reconstruction offer better outcomes, but most patients have some long-term functional limitation. This article provides insights into the epidemiology and management of this injury and its devastating effects.

    Abstract Introduction: The mismanagement of an occult scaphoid fracture is a significant concern in patients presenting with anatomical snuffbox tenderness and no radiographic signs of injury.
    Aim: This study investigated whether a virtual fracture clinic (VFC) could improve care efficiency and expedite management decisions surrounding suspected pediatric scaphoid fractures.
    Method: Data was reviewed for patients referred via the VFC for suspected scaphoid fractures at a local trauma unit over 19 months. Patients received an "appointment" in VFC. Based on their notes and imaging, patients were referred to an outpatient clinic for repeat radiographs within two weeks (if initial radiographs demonstrated no fracture). Patients with unremarkable second x-rays were contacted and informed to mobilize and return if the pain persisted at four weeks.
    Results: The pathway received 175 referrals; 114 male, 61 female, mean age 14 years, range 9-17) with 42 scaphoid fractures diagnosed, 35 (83.3%) on first x-ray, and 7 (16.7%) occult fractures. The pathway managed all patients as intended; 71 patients were seen face-to-face in the clinic due to age or pathology picked up on the first x-ray, and 104 required repeat radiographs. Following the second radiograph, 78 patients were discharged directly. Twenty-six patients required further review in a face-to-face clinic after their second radiograph.
    Conclusion: VFC appears to be a safe and efficient method of managing patients with suspected scaphoid fractures on short-term follow-up analysis. This cohort presents no 'missed' injuries and therefore appears safe compared to conventional treatment pathways.

    Abstract Background: The new Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System (FD-rod) has the advantage of a single entry point over the traditional telescopic rods such as the Bailey-Dubow or Sheffield rods. Although encouraging early results were presented by the originators of the technique at international meetings, there is no formal publication in the literature as yet.
    Methods: We performed a chart and x-ray review of the first 24 consecutive FD-rod insertions in 15 patients (age, 1.5 to 12.5 y) with a minimum of 1-year follow up (1 to 2.4 y) after implantation of femoral and/or tibial FD-rods. Diagnoses included with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) (15 cases, 9 patients), and other conditions such as congenital tibial pseudarthrosis (CPT) in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) (2 cases), and epidermal naevus syndrome (1 case). In patients with hypophosphataemic rickets (6 cases, 2 patients) the FD-rods were combined with an Ilizarov frame.
    Results: We found the OI patient group associated with a 13% reoperation rate (2 of 15 cases) for proximal rod migration and a 40% complication rate (6 of 15 cases): rod migration and limited telescoping (5) and intraoperative joint intrusion (1). There were no infections. All the NF1 CPT (2) and epidermal naevus syndrome (1) cases required several reoperations for nonunion, loss of fixation, shortening (negative telescoping), migration, and/or joint intrusion-mainly due to the severe underlying pathology with insufficient longitudinal or torsional stability and diminished healing capacity. In hypophosphataemic rickets (combined with Ilizarov frame fixation) we found a 50% complication rate (3 of 6 cases) and a 17% reoperation rate (1 of 6): 2 FD-rods did not telescope and 1 case of peroneal neuropraxia required neurolysis.
    Conclusions: In our experience the technique of using FD rods is demanding and associated with some intraoperative and postoperative pitfalls. We are happy to continue its use in OI patients when there is longitudinal stability and sufficient bone healing. However, in circumstances of insufficient stability and bone healing potential, further stabilization that can be achieved with an Ilizarov frame may be beneficial.

    Abstract There is increasing recognition of the credibility and utility of patient reported outcome measures, both in research and as routine quality indicators. This paper reviews the development of a questionnaire for children with foot or ankle problems and integrates the findings from three previously published studies in a cohesive way for the orthotic community. The Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. The development process was conducted in three phases. First the items were devised through focus groups with children affected by foot and ankle problems, and their parents. Second, test versions of child and parent questionnaires were evaluated to enable scales to be developed and tested for validity and reliability. Finally, findings from a prospective study assessing how scores changed over time and/or with treatment supported the longitudinal validity and responsiveness of the scales. The questionnaire offers an inexpensive and expedient means to evaluate the effectiveness of orthoses and other interventions used to treat children's foot or ankle problems. The Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children has broad utility both in routine clinical settings, or applied research to evaluate treatment programmes and interventions used in paediatric orthopaedics, trauma and rheumatology.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate how scores from the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire change over time and with treatment using both distribution-based and anchor-based approaches.
    Methods: Eighty children aged 5-16 and their parent or career completed questionnaires at orthopaedic or trauma outpatient clinics. They were asked to complete and return a second set of questionnaires again within 2 weeks (retest), and then mailed a third set of questionnaires to complete again after 2 months (follow-up). The follow-up questionnaires included a global rating of change 'transition' item.
    Results: Child- and parent-reported mean domain scores (Physical, School & Play, and Emotional) were all stable at retest, whereas positive mean changes were observed at follow-up. As we hypothesised, trauma patients had poorer scores than elective patients at baseline, and showed greater improvement at follow-up. For trauma patients, mean changes in per cent scores were large (scores improved between 40 and 56 for the Physical and School & Play domains, and 17 and 21 for Emotional); all effect sizes (ES) were large (>0.8). For elective patients, the mean improvement in per cent scores were more moderate (Physical: child 10, ES = 0.4, parent 11, ES = 0.5; School & Play child 0, ES = 0, parent 9 ES = 0.4; Emotional: child 6, ES = 0.2; parents 8, ES > 0.3). Minimal detectable change (MDC(90)), an indication of measurement error, ranged from 6 to 8. Half the standard deviation of baseline scores ranged from 11 to 18. Minimal important difference could only be calculated for elective patients (9 child and 13 parent ratings), these ranged from 7 to 17.
    Conclusions: The findings support the responsiveness and longitudinal validity of the scales. Changes in domain scores of, or exceeding, the MDC(90) (6-8) are likely to be beyond measurement error; further work is required to refine the estimate of change that can be considered important.

    Abstract Purpose: Naked plasmid DNA (pDNA) is a potential gene transfer agent for lung gene therapies but cannot be aerosolised without degradation using conventional nebulisation devices. This study investigated the viability of an alternative nebulisation technique, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) comminution for the aerosol delivery of naked DNA in vivo.
    Methods: Naked pDNA was aerosolised using jet and ultrasonic nebulisers, and by EHD comminution. Degradation associated with the aerosolisation process was investigated using gel electrophoresis and by transfection studies in cell culture. Optimised formulations for EHD aerosolisation of pDNA were developed and in vivo deposition and reporter gene expression were investigated in mice.
    Results: Unlike conventional nebulisation devices, EHD comminution of plasmids up to 15 kb in size resulted in no detectable pDNA degradation. EHD formulations containing up to 1 mg/ml pDNA were developed and shown to produce monodisperse aerosols suitable for targeted lung delivery in humans. Aerosolisation studies in vivo demonstrated detectable levels of pDNA deposition and measurable luciferase reporter gene expression in the lungs of exposed mice.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates for the first time that respirable aerosols of naked pDNA can be generated without plasmid degradation and that EHD comminution is an appropriate technique for the aerosolisation of delicate gene transfer agents.
