Summary

Ventriculoperitoneal shunts, vital for pediatric hydrocephalus, can cause craniocerebral disproportion. A novel biparietal distraction osteogenesis technique effectively treats scaphocephaly in shunted patients without shunt disruption.

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
