Median nerve palsy after operative treatment of olecranon fracture.
Olecranon fracture is not an uncommon fracture in clinical practice. Simple olecranon fracture usually heals quite well without any types of iatrogenic complications. Despite close proximity of the fracture to the nerve, median nerve palsy after operative treatment of olecranon fracture is a rare complication. To the authors' knowledge, this complication has not been previously reported in the ...
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 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 کاملMalpositioned 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 کاملOperative treatment of communited olecranon fractures using tension-band wiring and miniplate augmentation.
Olecranon fractures are intra-articular injuries that require anatomic restoration of the articular surface. For most simple noncomminuted transverse olecranon fractures, tension band wire fixation can provide a stable construct to allow for early joint range of motion. However, in comminuted olecranon fractures, it is difficult to provide a sufficient buttress for impacted articular fragments ...
