Humeral Fractures
Abstract
We presented our experience with Ilizarov augmentation in the treatment of patients with humeral shaft nonunion following failed intramedullary nail fixation.
Seven patients (4 females, 3 males; mean age 47 years; range 32 to 62 years) with established humeral nonunions following antegrade intramedu...

Abstract
We hypothesized that accidental humerus fractures in pediatric patients under the age of 4 years can be accurately distinguished from child abuse using a combination of history, physical exam findings, radiographic findings, and age. We searched our institutions Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect and...

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to report clinical and radiographic long-term results of a neglected fracture of the medial humeral epicondyle, which was entrapped into the elbow joint. At follow-up, 48 years after the trauma, the patient complained of occasional discomfort around the elbow, but the...

Abstract
We present the case of an 11-year-old girl with an elbow dislocation treated by closed manual reduction. The medial epicondyle fracture was missed initially until she developed an ulnar nerve palsy 2 months later. Intraoperatively we discovered the bony epicondyle piercing the joint capsule and comp...

Abstract
During the last 20 years, the author has treated 1120 cases of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children and has proposed a new hypothesis. In supracondylar fractures of the humerus it is the rotational force at the time of the injury, which determines the antero-posterior displacement. Med...

Abstract
This is a case of late-onset radial nerve palsy associated with the nonunion of the humeral shaft. Nonunion formation was caused by insufficient osteosynthesis and lack of proper biomechanical conditions for fracture healing. A good final outcome was achieved by simultaneous surgical treatment both...

Abstract
A 15 years old girl was found to have isolated trochlea fracture 10 weeks after an injury caused by a fall on her left elbow. Movement of the elbow was severely restricted. Radiographs showed a half moon-shaped and anterosuperiorly displaced osteochondral fragment. Medial approach capsulotomy of the...

Abstract
Distal humerus fractures continue to be a complex fracture to treat. This article describes two surgical techniques that can be used to tackle these difficult fractures: Parallel plating and orthogonal plating. Both techniques have yielded excellent outcomes after open reduction and internal fixatio...

Abstract
Isolated avulsion fracture of the subscapularis from the lesser tuberosity of the humerus is rare in the pediatric population and only a couple of cases have been described in the literature. In our case, a 13-year-old young man suffered an avulsion of the subscapularis tendon from the lesser tubero...

Two patients required removal of plates for pain and prominence but not all screws could be completely removed. The mean flexion was 132 degrees and extension was 29 degrees .

Our study revealed that common dogma regarding watchful waiting of pulseless and perfused supracondylar fractures needs to be questioned. In the vast majority of published cases, an absence of pulse is an indicator of arterial injury, even if the hand appears pink and warm, suggesting the need for m...

Abstract
We have found no difference in complication rates when treatment of supracondylar fractures is delayed. Supracondylar fractures which are not grossly displaced, have no neurovascular deficit or risk of skin compromise, can be safely deferred without an increased risk of complication. Operative treat...

Abstract
In cases of humeral fractures of the supratrochlear foramen, the surgeon must keep in mind that it is better to perform an antegrade medullary nailing than a retrograde one; as there is higher chance of a secondary fracture, due to the extreme narrowness of the canal at the distal portion of humeri...

In 13 cases, functional range of motion was obtained within 6 weeks of surgery. At final follow-up, 14 patients had a stable, pain-free elbow with a mean active range of motion of 13 degrees to 140 degrees . The average score on the Mayo elbow performance score was 98.

Abstract
The approach has the advantages of leaving the muscular bed of the ulna nerve undisturbed, whilst still providing excellent exposure of the distal humerus. The triceps mechanism is not divided or split allowing rapid recovery of extensor function. Additionally, because of the natural carrying angle...
