RESUMO
Gordon's Syndrome is described as an autosomal dominant condition with the characteristics of short stature, a stiff spine, camptodactyly (89%), cleft palate (27%) and club feet (73%). The authors present a case report of a patient with this rare entity complicated by an unusual complex spinal deformity. There are no prior reports in the literature concerning operative or nonoperative management of deformity in this patient population. Scoliosis in Gordon's Syndrome shares the characteristics of an arthrogrypotic neuromuscular curve and demands extensive soft tissue release for optimal correction.

Only few articles on osteochondral flake fractures in children have been published. Diagnostic tools have been improved over the past decades, but still, diagnosis of severe osteochondral defects may be delayed. The presented case report describes the different techniques currently being available for the diagnosis of osteochondral flake fractures. The different therapeutic options for the treatment of osteochondral flake fractures in children are discussed based on the current literature. This article demonstrates the necessity to consider severe injuries, even if impressive clinical symptoms are lacking.
