Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Fracture Following Application of Halo-Gravity Traction: A Case Report.
Authors: William G Blakeney, Charles D’Amato PMID: 25955170 DOI: 10.1097/BPO.0000000000000510 Publication Type: Case Reports ISSN: 1539-2570 Journal Title: Journal of pediatric orthopedics Publication Date: 2015
Article Description
Background: Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt malfunctions are very common, and shunt fracture is one of the most common causes. Shunt fractures are often a result of calcification and tethering, which predispose the tubing to fracture when mechanical stresses are applied. This case report describes a case of shunt fracture following application of halo-gravity traction for correction of spinal deformity. Methods: Chart and imaging data for a single case were reviewed and reported in this retrospective case study. Results: A 10-year-old female, being treated for syndromic scoliosis, underwent posterior surgical release and application of halo-gravity traction. Increasing weight of traction was applied over a period of 6 weeks, for gradual deformity correction. It was noted on the 6-week cervical spine radiograph that the VP shunt had fractured at the base of the neck. The patient was taken to the operating room and intraoperative findings confirmed shunt fracture. This was repaired without complications. Conclusions: This case, to our best knowledge, is the first reported occurrence of shunt fracture following application of halo-gravity traction. It demonstrates the importance of careful monitoring of patients with VP shunts, when they are undergoing traction for correction of spinal deformity.
