Patellar Dislocation in a 16-Year-Old Athlete With Femoral Trochlear DysplasiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: This case highlights a young athlete with subacute patellar dislocation and FTD who responded successfully to conservative management. Conservative stabilization and strengthening protocols improved patient outcome without surgical repair of the underlying FTD. Conservative management of FTD has not been reported and it makes the current case unique. However, the long-term outcome of conservative management is unknown at this point and further studies are necessary to evaluate treatment protocols.

Long-Term Effects of Infant Colic: A Survey Comparison of Chiropractic Treatment and Nontreatment GroupsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Untreated post-colicky infants demonstrated negative behavioral patterns at 2 to 3 years of age. In this study, parents of infants treated with chiropractic care for excessive crying did not report as many difficult behavioral and sleep patterns of their toddlers. These findings suggest that chiropractic care for infants with colic may have an effect on long-term sequelae. (Source: Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics)

Outcome of Pregnancy-Related Lumbopelvic Pain Treated According to a Diagnosis-Based Decision Rule: A Prospective Observational Cohort StudyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The management strategy used in this study appeared to yield favorable outcomes in this patient population and appears to be a safe option for patients with PRLP, although because of this study's sample size, rare complications are not likely to be detected. In addition, the absence of randomization and a control group limits interpretation with regard to clinical effectiveness. Randomized, controlled trials are necessary to distinguish treatment effects from the natural history of PRLP. (Source: Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics)

A Description of Children and Adolescents in Danish Chiropractic Practice: Results from a Nationwide SurveyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Babies made up most of the Danish chiropractic patients younger than 18 years. Among the older children and the adolescents, musculoskeletal complaints were most common and mostly of a chronic nature. The large number of pediatric patients in chiropractic practices and the paucity of evidence of treatment effectiveness indicate the need for further research in these age groups.

Children and Chiropractic Care: A Window of OpportunityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Health and lifestyle early in life have profound impact on health and quality of life in later years. Common public health problems such as musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular disease, and depression tend to cluster in individuals, and this pattern is established early. At present, no health care profession has convincingly assumed the responsibility of spinal and musculoskeletal health for children. Considering the magnitude of the challenges ahead for both researchers and clinicians, this may be a good opportunity for doctors of chiropractic to take responsibility and engage in a determined effort to brin...

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing 2 Types of Spinal Manipulation and Minimal Conservative Medical Care for Adults 55 Years and Older With Subacute or Chronic Low Back PainEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hondras et al reported on comparison of low-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation (Cox flexion distraction) to high-velocity, low-amplitude adjusting (side-lying lumbar roll adjustment) to minimal conservative medical care for adults older than 55 years with subacute or chronic nonradicular low back pain. The reported result was both forms of manipulation yielded equal clinical relief with low-velocity, low-amplitude adjusting (eg, Cox technique) having significant improvement in mean functional status over medical care.

A Noncontiguous 2-Level Spinal Injury in a Young Female Driver Due to a 3-Point Seat Belt RestraintEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this case is the first report in the literature of a seat belt safety restraint causing 2 noncontiguous fracture dislocations of the spine. Although the consensus is that seat belts can prevent most spine injuries, this case shows that the seat belt can be a contributor to spine injury. It shows that the shoulder-lap restraint can act as 2 fulcrums at the upper and lower bands causing 2 separate fracture dislocations. A thorough radiologic evaluation of the spine with respect to the clinical findings is mandatory in seat belt–restrained road traffic accidents cases. (Source: Journal of Mani...
