Neonatal separation of distal humeral epiphysis during Caesarean section: a case report.
We report a rare injury of distal humeral epiphyseal separation in a newborn during a Caesarean section. The diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance imaging. Emergency Caesarean deliveries with considerable traction applied to extract the baby can be the risk factor of such an injury.
متن کاملNeonatal distal humeral physeal separation during caesarean section: a case report and review of a literature
In children, fracture-separation of the epiphyseal plate near the elbow joint is a common occurrence. However, separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is very rare, especially in the newborn. There have been very few reports of this rare injury since 1926. When it occurs in the newborn, it may be difficult to diagnose and is easily mistaken for a dislocation of the elbow. Caesarean deliverie...
متن کاملUltrasonic diagnosis of neonatal separation of the distal humeral epiphysis.
We report a case of neonatal separation of the distal humeral epiphysis in which non-invasive ultrasonic examination provided clear definition of the injury.
متن کاملFracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis.
We have reviewed 12 cases of fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis, three of which were initially misdiagnosed as fractures of the lateral condyle and one as an elbow dislocation. Cubitus varus deformity is as common after this fracture-separation as it is following supracondylar fracture, and is most common in children under two years of age. Closed reduction and simple immobilis...
متن کاملDetection and treatment of traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis in a neonate: a case report.
Traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis during delivery is an uncommon injury in neonates and usually mimics elbow dislocation. Emergency medicine physicians and orthopedic surgeons must have a high index of suspicion for distal humeral epiphysis separation when evaluating elbow trauma in neonates. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is an important diagnostic tool for this purpo...
