COMMINUTED FRACTURE OF HUMERUS.

Studies in California Paleopathology : Ii . Comminuted Fracture of a Humerus with Pseudoarthrosis Formation

Comminuted fracture with butterfly fragment of the humerus sustained during arm wrestling

Arm wrestling is a popular activity enjoyed by men and women of all ages. Although uncommon, several cases of arm wrestling injuries have been reported in the medical literature. Fractures of the humerus sustained during arm wrestling are rare clinical entities that can be confused with pathologic fractures. A butterfly fragment subtype of comminuted humeral fracture is an even more exceptional...

A Case of Compound Comminuted Fracture of the Left Humerus: Excision: Recovery

There was a medium-sized laceratad wound in front of the left, shoulder, through which the sharp-pointed broken end of the bone protruded for nearly two inches. The seat of the fracture was at the surgical neck, and the direction was oblique from above downwards and inwards. The upper end of the lower fragment was split across for nearly two inches, broken into two other smaller bits, and the p...

Supracondylar Fracture of the Humerus

Supracondytar fractures of the humerus are common in childhood, and in less developed countries many late malunions are seen. A restricted range of elbow movement often makes it difficult to measure varus-valgus deformity clinically. This can be assessed from bony points but may be hindered by chronic swelling around the elbow. In these cases the pronation-supination range of the forearm is alm...

DISPLACED- COMMINUTED INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURES OF THE ADULT DISTAL HUMERUS: FUNCTIONAL RESULTS AFTER INTERNAL FIXATION

Background: Intra-articular T- type or Y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. The current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. Methods: In this prospective and retrospective study, we r...
