Cubitus Varus Deformity – Rationale of Treatment and Methods
Cubitus varus is commonest complication of paediatric supracondylar humerus fracture. These deformities are most commonly result of malunion, however avascular necrosis of trochlea or growth arrest of medial physis may also cause the deformity. Cubitus varus mostly presents as cosmetic deformity but it may also cause posterolateral instability, increased risk of secondary fractures, tardy ulna ...
متن کاملFailure of active extension after traumatic cubitus varus. A case report.
In children cubitus varus is common after malunion of a supracondylar fracture of the humerus. Later problems such as tardy ulnar nerve palsy, snapping of the lateral triceps tendon or ulnar nerve and posterolateral rotatory instability are well documented. We present a case of anteromedial dislocation of the entire triceps tendon with loss of extensor power and describe the method of treatment.
متن کاملLe cubitus varus post traumatique
Le cubitus varus est la complication la plus fréquente des fractures supra condyliennes de l'enfant. Il est la conséquence d'un cal vicieux supra condylien survenu à la suite d'une réduction imparfaite ou d'un déplacement secondaire. En plus des conséquences fonctionnelles, le préjudice esthétique est très mal vécu par l'enfant et surtout par sa famille. C'est le cas de notre malade J. A. âgé d...
متن کاملOsteochondritis dissecans of the humeral trochlea with cubitus varus deformity. A case report.
Osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow primarily involves the capitellum. We report a rare case of osteochondritis dissecans involving the humeral trochlea in a 19-year-old male with a post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity. Biomechanics suggested that the varus malalignment caused repetitive axial force across the medial elbow, which led to microtrauma to the trochlea during the patient's dail...
متن کاملAn uncommon cause of tardy ulnar nerve palsy due to upper extremity prolonged malposition in a comatose child: a case report
Background: Ulnar nerve neuropathy is one of the most common peripheral nerve dysfunctions. Elbow is the most common area affected by ulnar nerve which is mainly because of fractures or dislocations of this area. Delayed ulnar nerve palsy (Tardy Ulnar Nerve Palsy) in children due to a malpositioning of upper extremity during hospitalization is an uncommon cause of ulnar nerve injury which we ha...
