There is increasing trend of orthopaedic surgeons for closed pinning of type II supracondylar fractures, in this study, the result of treatment of closed reduction and casting in comparison with pinning is evaluated.

In a retrospective cross-sectional study, 39 children aged 3-11 years with Gartland type II supracondylar fracture who were treated with closed reduction and pinning and closed reduction and casting were evaluated by using the demographic information and measurement of Baumann’s angle and in hospital stay, by easy non-random sampling method.

By using the independent sample t test, there was a significant difference between the time of hospital stay and type of treatment and it was significantly lower in the group who had undergone treatment with close reduction and casting [p value < 0.005, Mean, SD: 37.43 +- 6.42]. There was no significant difference between the Baumann’s Angle in the two groups.

With no significant difference in the outcome of the two types of treatment a significantly lower hospital stays. With similar radiographic results was observed after four weeks of follow-up.

Marginal fit is one of the key factors in the success of fixed restoration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fitness of feldespatic crowns made from additional silicon impression and gypsum cast by CAD/CAM. 10 intact extracted upper premolar teeth were used for this experimental study. After preparation of the mounted teeth with radial shoulder finish line، 2 Vita Mark II feldespatic CAD/CAM machined crowns were fabricated for each tooth (one from scanning the additional silicone impression of the prepared tooth and the other one from the plaster model). Marginal gap of each crown was measured using SEM in two points on the mesial and 2 points on the buccal surface. Data were analyzed using Paired t-test with SPSS version 17 software (P<0. 05). The mean of marginal gaps in crowns fabricated from additional silicone and model plaster were (155. 13±37. 11) and (130. 18±12. 35)، respectively. However، no significant difference emerged between marginal gaps of the two methods (P=0. 055). Also، the mean of marginal gaps in crowns fabricated from additional silicone and model plaster was higher in mesial (157. 82±44. 41) compared to buccal (127. 50±24. 26) region (P=0. 003). Marginal fit was not significantly differen ce between crown s made of the plaster casts and silicone molds and both methods showed the same results.

The goal of this study was to determine the effect of foot serial casting along with botulinum toxin type-A injection on spasticity in children with cerebral palsy.

This study was a randomized clinical trial performed as a pre-post, double blind study. It was performed on 25 children with hemiplegia and diplegia (2-8 years) in Tehran city, who were referred to valiasr rehabilitation foundation. Participants were chosen by simple randomized sampling and were matched for age, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and type. They were randomly divided into two groups. The first group (n=13) underwent BTX-A injection alone and the second group (n=12) had BTX-A injection and foot serial casting after the injection. Clinical assessments were done using the GMFCS and Modified Ashworth Scale before and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the interventions. Data were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test and mann-whitney U.

Comparison of two groups in regard to the right and left knee spasticity at, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after injection showed no significant difference in comparison to those before interventions. Furthermore, comparison of right and left ankle spasticity before injection with that at 1, and 3 months follow ups did not show statistically significant difference, but significant differences were found when compared with 6 and 12 month follow-ups (P<0.05)

It seems, one of the proper approaches to reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy is foot serial casting along with botulinum toxin type-A injection and it can decrease the muscle tone when applied more than six months.
