TL;DR: This paper showed that muscle tissue is stiffer in contracture compared to age-matched children, implicating the extracellular matrix (ECM) and titin, the major loadbearing protein within muscle fibres.

TL;DR: It is shown that muscle tissue is stiffer in contracture compared to age‐matched children, implicating the extracellular matrix (ECM), however, titin, the major load‐bearing protein within muscle fibres, is not altered in contractures, and individual fibre stiffness is unaltered.

TL;DR: Tibial lengthening with use of theIlizarov external fixator over an intramedullary nail results in new bone formation of a quality equal to that obtained with the conventional Ilizarov method; however, it reduces the duration of external fixation and the rate of complications.

TL;DR: Extra-articular subtalar arthrodesis appears to be an effective means to achieve predictable correction of severe valgus deformity of the heel in patients with cerebral palsy who are able to walk.

TL;DR: Proximal tibial lengthening by DO in CPT can be safely performed if the proximal tibia is not dysplastic and has not been lengthened previously and that lengthening at a Dysplastic proximalTibial segment or at a previously lengthening segment renders delayed healing and may require additional procedure(s) to promote bone healing.
