The effect of femoral shortening in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip after walking age.

Journal of children's orthopaedics

Castañeda P, Moscona L, Masrouha K.
PMID: 31489042
J Child Orthop. 2019 Aug 01;13(4):371-376. doi: 10.1302/1863-2548.13.190029.

PURPOSE: The optimal treatment for late-presenting developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is controversial. High tension forces after hip reduction increase the pressure on the femoral head, potentially causing avascular necrosis. Femoral shortening (FS) is commonly used as a...

Narrative review of the management of a relapsed clubfoot.

Annals of translational medicine

Masrouha K, Chu A, Lehman W.
PMID: 34423014
Ann Transl Med. 2021 Jul;9(13):1102. doi: 10.21037/atm-20-7730.

The management of idiopathic clubfoot has transformed over the past several decades as the Ponseti method for the correction of this deformity became the standard of care, and surgical release has almost all but been abandoned. The Ponseti method...

Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma: Long-Term Survival in the Setting of Metastatic Disease.

Case reports in orthopedics

Masrouha K, Multani I, Bhatt O, Ghert M.
PMID: 32963861
Case Rep Orthop. 2020 Sep 05;2020:2684746. doi: 10.1155/2020/2684746. eCollection 2020.

Three cases of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) in patients who presented with pulmonary metastases and were managed with long-term close observation without systemic intervention are presented. Follow-up imaging showed slow progression of their disease over several years, and the...

Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma: Diagnosis, management and prognosis.

Oncology letters

Abboud A, Masrouha K, Saliba M, Haidar R, Saab R, Khoury N, Tawil A, Saghieh S.
PMID: 33747211
Oncol Lett. 2021 May;21(5):354. doi: 10.3892/ol.2021.12615. Epub 2021 Mar 04.

Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a relatively uncommon primary tumor of the soft tissues, which accounts for 20-30% of all reported cases of ES. Being uncommon, all members of the ES family tumors are treated following the same general...

Outcomes following open reduction for late-presenting developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Journal of children's orthopaedics

Castañeda P, Masrouha KZ, Ruiz CV, Moscona-Mishy L.
PMID: 30154922
J Child Orthop. 2018 Aug 01;12(4):323-330. doi: 10.1302/1863-2548.12.180078.

PURPOSE: Patients with late-presenting developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are more likely to require an open reduction. Since many developing countries do not have mandated screening, there continues to be a relatively high incidence of late-presenting DDH. We...

Impact of tranexamic acid on blood loss and transfusion rate in children with cerebral palsy undergoing hip reconstruction with two or more osteotomies.

European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie

Masrouha KZ, Shabin ZM, Bhutada K, Sala DA, Godfried DH, Karamitopoulos MS.
PMID: 33839928
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol. 2021 Apr 11; doi: 10.1007/s00590-020-02858-1. Epub 2021 Apr 11.

PURPOSE: Tranexamic acid (TXA), a synthetic lysine analogue, has been used in orthopedic procedures to limit blood loss and prevent allogeneic blood transfusions. However, data are scarce on its use in hip reconstruction of patients with cerebral palsy (CP)....

Union Following Biological and Rigid Fixations of Distal Tibia Extra-articular Fractures.

The archives of bone and joint surgery

Abboud A, Masrouha K, Hanna T, Saghieh S.
PMID: 32490046
Arch Bone Jt Surg. 2020 Mar;8(2):162-167. doi: 10.22038/abjs.2019.36760.1972.

BACKGROUND: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion and delayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods, there are bridge plating...

A novel treatment approach to infected nonunion of long bones without systemic antibiotics.

Strategies in trauma and limb reconstruction

Masrouha KZ, Raad ME, Saghieh SS.
PMID: 29380256
Strategies Trauma Limb Reconstr. 2018 Apr;13(1):13-18. doi: 10.1007/s11751-018-0303-4. Epub 2018 Jan 29.

Infected nonunion of long bones may require intravenous antibiotics over a lengthy period which may result in a high rate of complications. This study aims to assess the efficacy of local antibiotics used as a replacement to prolonged intravenous...

Epithelialization Over a Scaffold of Antibiotic-Impregnated PMMA Beads: A Salvage Technique for Open Tibial Fractures with Bone and Soft Tissue Loss When all Else Fails.

The archives of bone and joint surgery

Masrouha KZ, El-Bitar Y, Najjar M, Saghieh S.
PMID: 27517073
Arch Bone Jt Surg. 2016 Jun;4(3):259-63.

The management of soft tissue defects in tibial fractures is essential for limb preservation. Current techniques are not without complications and may lead to poor functional outcomes. A salvage method is described using three illustrative cases whereby a combination...

Long-term follow-up of children treated with the Repiphysis expandable prosthesis for lower extremity bone sarcoma.

Journal of pediatric orthopedics. Part B

Masrouha K, Abboud M, Saab R, Muwakkit SA, Khoury N, Haidar R, Saghieh S.
PMID: 34101677
J Pediatr Orthop B. 2021 Jun 07; doi: 10.1097/BPB.0000000000000891. Epub 2021 Jun 07.

BACKGROUND: Expandable endoprostheses provide a limb salvage option for skeletally immature patients with bone sarcoma of the lower extremities. Initial reports of the Repiphysis prosthesis were encouraging; however, medium-term follow-up revealed high complication rates. We report on the long-term...
