RESUMEN

New information affecting the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions in children was published within the past year. A new etiology for acquired torticollis as well as a test to distinguish ocular and muscular torticollis were described. Familial predisposition for successful nonoperative treatment of interventional disk herniation was reported. Bone scintigraphy was shown to be helpful in defining the cause of occult gait disturbances, and accurate mapping of premature growth plate closure may soon be possible with magnetic resonance scans.
