Le cubitus varus post traumatique
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 de 13 ans, opéré à l'âge de 08 ans pour une fracture supra condylienne stade IV, traitée par un embrochage en X après abord du foyer de fracture. L'évolution a été marquée par l'apparition d'une déformation du membre supérieur faite d'un varus de l'avant-bras par rapport au bras de 45° vu de face avec un déficit majeur de l'extension qui est compensée par la pronation, expliquant la photographie qui fait que la face postérieure du coude et de la main sont vus de face. Quand la déformation est importante une correction par ostéotomie de soustraction supra condylienne est indiquée, elle est réservée aux déviations supérieures à 15° de varus. Le meilleur traitement du cubitus varus reste sa prévention.

Osteochondritis 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 کاملRecurrent posterior dislocation of the head of the radius in post-traumatic cubitus varus.
Four patients who had injured the lower end of the humerus in childhood with resulting cubitus varus developed recurrent posterior dislocation of the head of the radius after further injury to the elbow. Dislocation occurred when the forearm was supinated and spontaneous reduction took place on pronation. At operation the lateral ligament complex was seen to be lax and elongated. After tighteni...
متن کاملPredicting cubitus varus in supracondylar fractures of the humerus by Baumann's angles in post reduction X-rays.
OBJECTIVES The present study presents the technique to predict cubitus varus by post reduction Affected Side and Normal Side Baumann's angle difference (ASBA and NSBA) respectively. It intends to correlate the Baumann's angle to the final carrying angle of the injured elbow and presents the relevant mathematical clinical rule along with its prediction test characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHOD...
متن کاملTreatment of cubitus varus using the Ilizarov technique of distraction osteogenesis.
Seven children with a post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity were treated using the Ilizarov technique of distraction osteogenesis. The outcome was rated as excellent in each case and all were satisfied with the cosmetic appearance. No complications had been encountered by the latest follow-up at a mean of 66.7 months. This technique seems reliable for the treatment of such deformities, provide...
متن کاملCubitus 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 ...
