Mallet finger is an injury to the end of the finger. It is sometimes also called “baseball finger.” It occurs when an object (most often a ball) hits the tip of the finger. This forcibly bends the fingertip further than it should go. This causes damage to the extensor tendon. This tendon allows the finger to extend (straighten). When the extensor tendon tears, the fingertip cannot straighten.This tendon often pulls off a piece of bone when it tears....

(Washington, D.C.) – Pediatric battery-related emergency department (ED) visits have increased considerably in the last decade, particularly among children 5 years old and under, according to a new study published today in Pediatrics by a team of researchers from Safe Kids Worldwide and Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Johnson Research Ependymoma is the third most common pediatric brain tumor (supratentorial (ST) and posterior fossa (PF)) and the most common adult spinal tumor (SP). Surgery and irradiation are the predominant treatments since chemotherapy is ineffective in most patients; consequently, ependymoma is incurable in up to 40% of cases. Ependymomas from different regions of the CNS display disparate prognoses, transcriptional profiles and genetic alterations, suggesting they represent distinct molecular disease subgroups....

Pain is a common problem for children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Sickled cells have a hard time moving through small blood vessels. They can pile up and clog the vessels, keeping oxygen from getting to certain parts of the body (Picture 1). This causes pain. Signs and Symptoms Sickle cell pain and symptoms are different for each child. Your child may be able to recognize their own sickle cell pain....

A metatarsal (meh-tah-TAR-sul) stress fracture is a break in the foot which involves one or more of the long foot bones (metatarsals). It is caused by intense exercise or repeat pressure on the foot. The stress on the bone exceeds the bone’s ability to heal and repair. This breakdown results in a stress or fatigue fracture. This is the second most common bone to get a stress fracture in athletes. This usually follows a sudden change in training or performance schedule....

Apophysitis (uh-paa-fuh-sai-tuhs) is pain and swelling (inflammation) of a growth plate that has a muscle attached to it and can happen in many locations throughout the body. The growth plate is an area of weakness and is prone to injury. Apophysitis occurs because of repeated stress to the muscles that attach at that site. Pelvic apophysitis refers to the group of growth plates around the hip and pelvis. Sometimes the muscles will pull the growth plate away from the rest of the bone (avulsion fracture) and it is important to be able to tell apophysitis apart from this injury....
