Fracture of Capitulum Humeri.

An atypical case of elbow fracture Bilateral Capitellum Humeri Fracture in a Teenage.

Fractures of the capitellum are rare injures of the elbow rarely seen in adolescents. We report a case of a 14 year-old boy who sustained a bilateral Hahn-Steinthal type fracture of his capitelum humeri. To our knowledge, such bilateral injury has not been reported before in teenagers. This paper reviews the literature regarding the epidemiology, classification and management of this rare pedia...

Bilateral capitellum humeri fracture: a case report and review of the literature.

We report a case of a 37-year-old woman who sustained a bilateral Hahn-Steinthal type fracture of her capitellum humeri. Open reduction and internal fixation, using extra-articular insertion of Herbert screws, were performed. Both elbows were immobilised for 3 weeks postoperatively. Radiographic signs of union were present at week 8. Within the observation period of 18 months, no signs of avasc...

Reusing Cadaveric Humeri for Fracture Testing After Testing Simulated Rotator Cuff Tendon Repairs

The financial cost of using human tissues in biomedical testing and surgical reconstruction is predicted to increase at a rate that is disproportionately greater than other materials used in biomechanical testing. Our first hypothesis is that cadaveric proximal humeri that had undergone monotonic failure testing of simulated rotator cuff repairs would not differ in ultimate fracture loads or in...
