🌟 Cranial Helmets: Shaping Futures 🌟 Cranial helmets are an essential tool in pediatric orthopedics, designed to correct head shape abnormalities in infants. Here’s what you need to know: 🧠 What are Cranial Helmets? Cranial helmets are custom-made devices used to treat conditions like plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and scaphocephaly, where an infant’s head is misshapen due to positioning or other factors. 👶 How Do They Work? These helmets apply gentle pressure to the infant’s head, guiding the skull’s growth into a more natural shape. The process is safe, non-invasive, and effective, usually starting around 3-6 months of age and lasting for a few months. 📈 Why Are They Important? Early intervention can prevent future complications and support healthy brain development. A properly shaped skull can also improve facial symmetry and enhance overall appearance. 💡 Key Facts: Customized for each child Typically worn 23 hours a day Regular follow-ups ensure proper adjustment 👨⚕️ Consult a Specialist: If you notice any unusual head shapes in your infant, consult with a pediatric orthopedic specialist. Early assessment and intervention are crucial for the best outcomes. #CranialHelmet #Plagiocephaly #InfantHealth #PediatricOrthopedics #HealthyHeadShape #EarlyIntervention #BabyCare #HelmetTherapy #PediatricCare #OrthopedicSolutions

Scoliosis, affecting 3 million children annually in the U.S., often requires bracing or surgery for severe cases. Now, orthopedic surgeons, Judson Karlen, MD, and David Bennett, MD, are the first in Arizona to offer Tether™ Vertebral Body Tethering System, allowing more flexibility and children to return to normal activities. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3DLvwes #scoliosiswareness #scoliosis #pediatricsurgery The Tether is approved as a Humanitarian Device for patients with idiopathic scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 30-65 degrees. Patients should have failed bracing and/or be intolerant to brace wear. There is probable benefit of the device, but its efficacy is still unproven. Post operative risks include overcorrection of the instrumented curve, cord breakage and bone screw migration. Full contraindication and risk information can be found at myscoliosis. com

Neonatal surgery is an intricate and delicate field, requiring mastery over tiny internal organs and fragile tissues. However, as a devoted pediatric surgeon in making, I firmly believe that every challenge can be overcome. Every newborn deserves the chance to thrive, and it's our duty to make the impossible possible. With meticulous attention to detail, unwavering commitment, and compassion, pediatric surgeons strive to repair delicate organs and tissues, overcome congenital defects and improve quality of life. The rewards are immeasurable. Witnessing a newborn's first smile, seeing families reunited and giving hope to those who thought it lost is very satisfying. Let's keep shining a light on the smallest, yet mightiest, patients. Every neonate has the right to live, and our work ensures they get that chance. #safesurgeryforneonates #kidsOR
