Dear Pediatric Orthopedists, I'm seeking guidance on the management of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, specifically regarding the decision-making process for when to manage non-operatively versus when to refer for surgical fixation in Yemeni hospitals. What are the critical radiographic signs or clinical parameters that tip the balance towards intervention? Any tips for closed reduction techniques in challenging cases? Thank you for your insights.

The new guidelines for osteoporosis screening are excellent. We've started implementing universal screening for women over 65 and post-menopausal women with risk factors, leading to earlier diagnosis and initiation of treatment, hopefully reducing fragility fractures, which are a growing concern in Yemen.

From a public health perspective in Yemen, such dilemmas highlight the need for stronger primary prevention programs to reduce the burden of preventable orthopedic conditions, thereby freeing up resources for more urgent cases. Advocacy for increased healthcare funding is also crucial.

I've personally seen good results with PRP augmentation in partial rotator cuff tears in my Yemeni patients, Dr. Al-Zarqa. While large-scale RCTs are still evolving, for select patients, it seems to enhance healing. The cost can be a barrier, but patient education on potential benefits is vital.
