Epidemiology of pediatric fractures before versus during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic
Chi Hoon Oh, Siyeong Yoon, Kyung Rae Ko, Young Woo Kwon, Kyeong Mi Kim, Hyun Seo Park, Hogyeong Kang, Inseok Jang, Soonchul Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2022;65(7):330-336.   Published online June 3, 2022
∙ The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in December 2019 as a cluster outbreak in Wuhan, since then, national lockdowns have included school closures, stay-at-home orders.
∙ The characteristics of adolescent fractures were often related to physical activity such as sports-related injury.
∙ During the COVID-19 pandemic, both in the East and the West, the incidence of fractures in children and adolescents is showing a decreasing trend worldwide.
∙ Fractures in children and adolescents were significantly reduced in the proportion of relatively low-energy damage, and the incidence of fractures in adolescents with greater activity compared to children was reduced.
∙ If COVID-19 pandemic ends, normal academic and sports activities increase due to the easing of lockdown policies, the number of trauma patients related to increased activity may increase rapidly, and clinics should prepare for this change.

Association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and risk of bone fractures in offspring: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Erfan Ayubi, Saeid Safiri, Kamyar Mansori
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2021;64(3):96-102.   Published online February 5, 2020
Question: What is the effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) on the risk of bone fractures in the offspring?
Finding: After the adjustment for misclassification, MSDP may be associated with a 27% increased risk of bone fracture in the offspring (pooled odds ratio, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.00–1.62; I2=0%; P=0.537)
Meaning: Preventive measures and health education programs should be designed and implemented to encourage women to stop smoking, especially during.

Rapidly growing pediatric trampoline-related injuries in Korea: a 10-year single center retrospective study
Min Jeng Cho, Jihoon Kim, Sung Jeep Kim, Kyu Hyouck Kyoung, Min Ae Keum, Sung Kyun Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2019;62(3):90-94.   Published online March 11, 2019

Purpose: Several published policy statements have warned against the risks associated with trampoline use and recommended safety guidelines. However, few studies have focused on trampoline-related injuries in Korea. This study aimed to assess the incidence and characteristics of pediatric trampoline-related injuries presented to Ulsan University Hospital. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children aged <16 years with trampoline-related injuries...

Bone mineral density deficits in childhood cancer survivors: Pathophysiology, prevalence, screening, and management
Min Jae Kang, Jung Sub Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(2):60-67.   Published online February 25, 2013

As chemotherapy and other sophisticated treatment strategies evolve and the number of survivors of long-term childhood cancer grows, the long-term complications of treatment and the cancer itself are becoming ever more important. One of the most important but often neglected complications is osteoporosis and increased risk of fracture during and after cancer treatment. Acquisition of optimal peak bone mass and...

Pediatric dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: interpretation and clinical and research application
Jung Sub Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(3):286-293.   Published online March 15, 2010
Peak bone mass is established predominately during childhood and adolescence. It is an important determinant of future resistance to osteoporosis and fractures to gain bone mass during growth. The issue of low bone density in children and adolescents has recently attracted much attention and the use of pediatric dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is increasing. The process of interpretation of pediatric...

A Case of Shaken Baby Syndrome
Jin Choi, Hyun Hee Kim, Won Bae Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(6):851-855.   Published online June 15, 2000
Shaken baby syndrome refers to the group of nonaccidental injuries occuring in infants and children as a consequence of violent shaking. The characteristic injuries include subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhages, retinal hemorrhages, traction-typed metaphyseal fracture of long bone and fractures of the ribs. General physical findings may include bruising and burns, but sometimes no extracranial injuries are detected. Affected children are...
Four Cases of Congenital Depressed Skull Fractures in Neonates
Byung Soon Kang, Eun Young Kim, Chang Weon Oh, Kyoung Sim Kim, Yong Wook Kim, Min Suk Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(4):567-572.   Published online April 15, 2000
Depressed skull fractures in newborn babies mainly result from birth injury and rarely occurr in intrauterine life without any definable etiology. We present 4 cases of congenital intrauterine depressed skull fractures which were discovered at birth in neonates. Three babies(case 1, 2, 3) had round shallow depressions without adjacent soft tissue injury except the last one(case 4), showing sharp angulation...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(12):1319-1323.   Published online December 31, 1986
The following is the result of a retrospective clinical study on the clavicle fractures iit 33 newborns who were delivered at Yonsei University Medical Center during the eight years between 1978 and 1985. 1) The incidence of clavicle fractures was 2 per 1,000 deliveries and there was no difference in incidence by sex. 2) The incidence of clavicle fracture by the birth weight was...
