Premature Epiphysial Fusion after Injury of the Capitulum.
نویسنده
چکیده
It is well known that injury ofthe capitulum is both common and important in childhood. Although much has been written on the subject, the frequency and importance of premature fusion of the epiphysis has not been fully appreciated. Clinical material-Twenty-eight children suffering from injury to the capitular epiphysis were reviewed. The age at the time of injury varied from three to twelve years and the follow-up period was from one to seventeen years. In eight patients there was a fracture through the lower humeral metaphysis without displacement of the capitular epiphysis (Fig. 1), and in one of these a further injury resulted in a flake fracture of the infero-lateral margin of the capitulum. In twenty patients the capitulum was displaced and rotated and in all of these there was the typical metaphysial fracture (Fig. 2). In two of these patients there was a vertical fracture through the inner part of the capitular ossification centre (Fig. 3).

There were 362 wrist injuries in 359 patients under 18 years of age who attended the Accident & Emergency Department, St James's University Hospital, Leeds, over a 1-year period. These included soft tissue injuries (53%), epiphyseal injuries (4%) and fractures of the distal forearm or carpus (43%) which were reviewed 3 years after injury. At re-examination, a repeat X-ray was undertaken and thi...
متن کاملMetacarpophalangeal joint dislocation.
Traumatic dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint is a relatively uncommon injury. The dislocation may be easily reducible (ie, simple) or require surgical intervention (ie, complex). The flexor tendons, lumbrical muscle, natatory ligament, and superficial transverse metacarpal ligament combine with the displaced volar plate to create a tight noose, preventing reduction. Surgical approach ...
متن کاملPremature epiphysial fusion at the knee joint in tuberculous disease of the hip.
The treatment of tuberculous disease of the hip in children has not yet reached the stage when useful recovery of joint function is a frequent end-result. Brackett (1924) urged that the first objective should be the provision of a permanently safe and useful limb; and in girls, we would add, a graceful one. These standards are not achieved, even with quiescent disease and a soundly ankylosed jo...

He was treated with a supra-tubercular anterior opening wedge osteotomy, fixed with two Puddu plates and ...
