Journal ArticleDOI

Shay Bess,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,George H. Thompson,Paul D. Sponseller,Suken A. Shah,Hazem El Sebaie,Oheneba Boachie-Adjei,Lawrence I. Karlin,Sarah Canale,Connie Poe-Kochert,David L. Skaggs +10 more
TL;DR: Complications can be reduced by delaying initial implantation of the growing rods if possible, using dual rods, and limiting the number of lengthening procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
TL;DR: Lateral entry pins have been shown, in biomechanical and clinical studies, to be as stable as cross pinning if they are well spaced at the fracture line, and they are not associated with the risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operative treatment of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. The consequences of pin placement.
David L. Skaggs,Julia M. Hale,Jeffrey Bassett,Cornelia K. Kaminsky,Robert M. Kay,Vernon T. Tolo +5 more
TL;DR: Fixation with only lateral pins is safe and effective for both Gartland type-2 and Gartlands type-3 supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children and prevents iatrogenic injury to the ulnar nerve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Lack of Sleep is Associated With Increased Sports Injuries in Adolescent Athletes
Matthew D. Milewski,David L. Skaggs,Gregory A. Bishop,J. Lee Pace,David A. Ibrahim,Tishya A. L. Wren,Audrius Barzdukas +6 more
TL;DR: Encouraging young athletes to get optimal amounts of sleep may help protect them against athletic injuries, and sleep deprivation and increasing grade in school appear to be associated with injuries in an adolescent athletic population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral-entry pin fixation in the management of supracondylar fractures in children
TL;DR: In this large, consecutive series without selection bias, the use of lateral-entry pins alone was effective for even the most unstable supracondylar humeral fractures.
