Researchers in the Division of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine and Performance Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) announced results from a large retrospective study of patients surgically treated for Patellar Sleeve Fractures (PSFs), rare knee fractures that occur when a piece of bone and cartilage separates from kneecap. They found that in most pediatric patients with displaced fractures, surgery was effective in restoring full range of motion (ROM) and enabled them to return to their regular activities.

Children between 5 and 12 are more likely to experience worse symptoms and delays in specialist care if injured during recreation or other non-sport activities.

While unable to speak, patients can understand parents and caregivers, paving the way for future clinical trial design

Rapid diagnosis in the neonatal and cardiac intensive care units (NICU, CICU) is essential  to provide care and treatment to critically ill infants.

Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) announced the discovery of a novel immune-based biomarker that could pave the way for potential lifesaving early detection of high-grade ovarian cancer (HGOC). The findings were published today in the journal Cell Reports Medicine.
