Article Abstract

Juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM) syndrome is a condition under the spectrum of chronic pain syndrome. It is characterized by chronic musculoskeletal pain with multiple tender points and other associated symptoms. Diagnosis requires ruling out organic causes in addition to at least five out of 18 tender points and fulfilling three out of 10 criteria.

Management requires an incredibly careful multidisciplinary approach, including psychotherapy and physiotherapy among others.

This case study documents the youngest reported patient (7-year-old female) and introduces the first comprehensive morphometric analysis of fracture characteristics and clinical outcomes following surgical management via open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) utilizing Kirschner wire (K-wire) stabilization.
