Malpositioned olecranon fracture tension-band wiring results in proximal radioulnar synostosis
BACKGROUND Tension-band wiring (TBW) is a well-established fixation technique for two-part, transverse fracture types of the olecranon. However, complication rates up to 80 % are reported. By reporting on the enormous impact on the patient if failed the aim of the present report was to emphasize the importance of correct K wire positioning in TBW. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 49...
متن کاملBilateral Proximal Radioulnar Synostosis
Synostosis or osseous union of any 2 adjacent bones can involve any part of the body. Synostosis between radius and ulna can take two forms, congenital and post Synostosis is a very rare congenital anomaly and most cases a post-traumatic, bilateral in 60% and more common in males. It is often part of syndromes such as Crouzon, Apert's and Poland's,4p Bixler syndrome, Genito multiple osteochondr...
متن کاملOlecranon Process Fracture in a Radial Club Hand Treated with Tension Band Wiring: A Case Report
INTRODUCTION Radial club hand is rare deformity, and many patients do not receive treatment due to lack of awareness. None of the treatment options available can restore normality. Fractures of the olecranon process in radial club hand are rare probably due to limited use of the limb. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 35-year-old male with radial club hand who presented with a transverse fr...
متن کاملManagement of heterotopic ossification and restricted forearm rotation after tension band wiring for olecranon fracture
A 32-year-old lady presented to our clinic with persistent painful restriction of her dominant forearm movements for three months after tension band wiring of olecranon. She had full elbow flexion and extension; however, her forearm rotations were restricted and painful. Investigations revealed prominent tips of the wire, eroding the radial tuberosity with heterotopic ossification between the r...
متن کاملModified Tension Band Wiring in Adult Distal Humeral Fracture Types A2 and C1
Background: Distal humeral fractures accounts for approximately 2% of all fractures and nearly one-third of humeralfractures in adults. In this regard, Modified Tension Bind Wiring (MTBW) technique was used for the fixation of the distalhumeral fractures type A2 and C1 (AO) to evaluate the early movement and complications of the patients.Methods: This study was conducted on 25...
