Bi-columnar Plating For Supracondylar Fracture Extending Into Humeral Shaft : A Report Of Three Case And Literature Review
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Supra-condylar humerus fractures with extension into shaft are difficult to treat and typically require open anatomical reduction and internal fixation. Here we describe our experience treating distal humerus fractures using a triceps splitting approach with bicolumnar locking plate fixation.

A simple technique for double plating of extraarticular distal humeral shaft fractures.
Plate fixation of extraarticular distal humeral shaft fracture is often difficult. Traditional techniques do not allow for stable fixation. A single DCP plate may have inadequate purchase in the distal fragment. The use of large plates extending distally over the lateral supracondylar ridge is often associated with pain and sometimes interferes with elbow range of motion. In this study, 22 pati...
متن کاملAnterior Shoulder Dislocation and Ipsilateral Humeral Shaft Fracture
Simultaneous dislocation of shoulder and humeral shaft fracture is a rare injury, and there is no clear protocol for its treatment. Herein we present a case of a 15-year-old boy, who suffered from a job-related accident and sustained fracture of humeral shaft associated with ipsilateral anterior shoulder dislocation and fracture of greater tuberosity 15 years ago. He received closed reduction o...
متن کاملAcute Osteomyelitis in Closed Fracture of Adult Humerus- Case Report and Review of Literature
Acute osteomyelitis developing in a closed fracture is extremely rare. Only twenty six such cases have been reported in literature so far with most cases being associated with immunodeficiency or polytraumaalongwith a potential source of infection though none of them involved the humeral shaft. We report a case of acute osteomyelitis of shaft of humerus in an unpredisposed 50 year old male with...
متن کاملAcute Combined Median and Radial Nerve Palsies after Distal Humeral Shaft Fracture
We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented with a distal humeral shaft fracture sustained by blunt trauma. Physicalexamination and nerve conduction study were consistent with injury to the median and radial nerves proximal to theelbow. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the humeral shaft fracture with neurolysis of the medianand radial nerves. Repeat electrom...
متن کاملPosterior dislocation of the shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture: A case report and review of literature.
Isolated posterior dislocation of the shoulder with ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture is a rare combination. Three cases of such co-existence have been reported so far. We report a fourth case and review the literature. Our aim is to highlight the importance of this rare co-existence. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose posterior dislocation of the shoulder as most concentration...
