n increased odds of fracture occurrence in children. The findings may help physicians to reduce the risk factors of fracture by preventive efforts. Thus, unexpected health costs and morbidity may be minimized.Currently, the Ponseti method has become the most popular technique for the management of congenital clubfoot. Besides this treatment, the functional method or the 'French method' (FFM) represents another treatment option. Throughout our study, we will describe this method, based on the 'Saint Vincent de Paul' protocol with some modifications that we bring progressively. Carried out over the last 20 years at our institution. In total 145 children (210 clubfeet) were treated using FFM. Our technique is based on the 'Saint Vincent de Paul' protocol from Paris. This method consists of daily manipulations of the feet by specialised physiotherapists associated with thermoformable orthotics devices. An evaluation of the patient at 5 year of age is performed. Gait analysis was introduced in 2011 as a complementary assessment tool. Less than 15% of the feet underwent a surgical procedure at walking age. Compliance to treatment was significantly higher than with the Ponseti method. At the last follow-up, 80% of the children had good to excellent results without major residual deformity. Totally 7% of the children required a later intervention either for recurrence or for major residual deformity. CIL56 FFM is an alternative approach in the management of clubfoot that has proven to be successful due to the precision and modularity of its splinting system. Good compliance and low recurrence rate are other elements to consider. However, it requires a well-trained physical therapist. The main disadvantages of this method are the high cost compared to the Ponseti method and the difficulty of applying this method in developing countries.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of os odontoideum and the size of atlas among children with Down syndrome. Understanding the risk of developing myelopathy in asymptomatic cases is important in children with Down syndrome. Children with os odontoideum are considered to be at high risk of developing myelopathy because of instability; however, in cases that are complicated by atlas hypoplasia, the risk remains the same, regardless of instability. This retrospective case-control study assessed atlas hypoplasia in children with Down syndrome with or without os odontoideum. We retrospectively assessed the records of 59 patients (36 males and 23 females) with Down syndrome who underwent spinal X-ray evaluations at our hospital. The average age at examination was 5.0 years (range, 4-7). We evaluated the following radiologically the presence of os odontoideum; atlas-dens interval; space available for the spinal cord at the atlas level (C1SAC); instability index; sagittal atlas diameter (SAD) as an index of atlas hypoplasia and C5 level SAC (C5SAC), adjusted for child growth. Os odontoideum was present in seven cases (12%). Between the groups with and without os odontoideum, there was no significant difference in age (mean, 5.2 vs. 5.0 years) or male/female ratio (57 vs. 62% males). The SAD/C5SAC (mean, 1.6 vs. 1.9) was significantly smaller in the group with os odontoideum than in those without os odontoideum. The instability index was not significantly different between the two groups. Children with Down syndrome and os odontoideum have small SAD. Evaluations for atlas hypoplasia are necessary.
Septic arthritis in children is considered an orthopedic surgical emergency, which requires prompt intervention to prevent later sequela. In the last decades, several minimal invasive techniques were suggested as an alternative to the standard treatment of septic arthritis in the pediatric hip via open arthrotomy. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a new minimal invasive technique-double luminal catheter drainage (DLDC)-in treating septic hip arthritis in children.

Retrospective case series analysis was performed on all patients 1-18 years of age diagnosed with septic hip arthritis and treated by the new suggested minimal invasive technique between the years 2009-2019 at medium-sized medical center.

Five patients were treated by DLDC with a follow-up period of 12 months posttreatment. The diagnosis was based on joint aspirated fluid analysis criteria. During the follow-up period, no later sequel, including avascular necrosis, or infection recurrence were observed.

The new minimal invasive treatment technique suggested in this study seems to be efficient and safe in treating septic hip arthritis in children without later sequela or the need for open arthrotomy, especially if performed early on. However, due to the small study sample, no generalization of the findings can be made as future studies with larger study samples are needed to validate the DLDC technique.

The COVID-19 pandemic jeopardizes continuity of operations of workplaces and the health and safety of workers. Exemplar workplace-related SARS-CoV-2 benchmarks are described and illustrated with empirical data.

Benchmarks were collected over a 9-month period on a large workplace (N = 5500+). These ranged from quantitative indices associated with RT-qPCR targeted testing and random surveillance screening, surveillance for new variants of SARS-CoV-2, intensive contact tracing, case management, return to work procedures, to monitoring of antibody seropositive status.

Data and analyses substantiated effectiveness of interventions. This was evidenced in suppressed infection rates, rapid case identification and isolation, acceptance of the program by employees, documentation of presumptive immunity, and working relationships with senior management.

These SARS-CoV-2 exemplar benchmarks provided an evidence-base for practice and contributed strategically to organizational decisions.
