Paediatric supracondylar humeral fractures: a technique for safe medial pin passage with zero incidence of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury.
INTRODUCTION The cross Kirschner wire (K-wire) configuration in closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of paediatric supracondylar humeral fracture affords superior stability. However, medial pin placement presents a risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. This study describes, in step-by-step detail, another safe method of percutaneous medial pin insertion. METHODS The technique involved p...
متن کاملIatrogenic Ulnar Nerve Injury post Laceration Suturing - An Unusual Presentation
INTRODUCTION Nerve entrapment while suturing a lacerated wound is a complication that is easily avoidable. We report a case low ulnar nerve palsy due to nerve entrapment while suturing a lacerated wound. CASE REPORT A 48 year old lady came with complaints of pain and a lacerated wound over the dorsomedial aspect of lower third of the left forearm. The lacerated wound was sutured elsewhere one...
متن کاملComparison of traditional and Dorgan's lateral cross-wiring of supracondylar humerus fractures in children.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of traditional medial-lateral and Dorgan's lateral cross-wiring of supracondylar humerus fractures in children. METHODS In our retrospective study, we evaluated 51 children in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Harran University Medical Faculty, Sanliurfa, Turkey between February 2005 and January 2009. Group 1 (traditional) included 25 (16 male and 9 fema...
متن کاملAvoiding iatrogenic thrombo-embolism: the "KAPLIT" technique
In patients with traumatic injury of an upper limb it is often necessary to both secure intravenous (IV) access and record blood pressure noninvasively in the other upper limb. This may cause intermittent obstruction to the flow of IV fluids during cuff inflation. Also backflow of blood into the IV tubing when the cuff is inflated and the temporary stasis which occurs predisposes to clotting of...
