A Case of Non-Union of Lateral Condyle of Humerus in Paediatric Age-treatment with Milch Osteotomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective: Lateral humeral condyle fractures are troublesome injuries and are common among the lower end humerus epiphyseal injuries. These fractures are prone to go for non union . Preference for treatment of these nonunions, is to be individualised. Methods, varying from open reduction internal fixation with or without bone pegs, varus osteotomy to displacement osteotomy in gross valgus deformity are used. Here I am reporting a case non-union of lateral humeral condyle fracture, reported 3 years after injury , with gross cubitus valgus deformity, without ulnar nerve involvement in a girl of 11 years treated with Milch opening wedge displacement Osteotomy. There are very few case reports in English Literature published of this kind, treated with Milch opening wedge displacement osteotomy infact hardly find any after the Milch's original articles.

Purpose Lateral condyle fractures of the humerus are common in the paediatric population, accounting for up to 20% of elbow fractures. Traditional management involves internal fixation with Kirschner (K)-wires, however, this has been associated with complications and insufficiently rigid fixation. Recently, cannulated screws have been proposed as a more stable method of fixation. While cannulat...

Simultaneous fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation is very rare injury in adults. Only a few cases have been reported in literature in pediatric age groups. The authors describe a case report of fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation in a young adult. The patient sustained injury in the form o...

Background: Delayed presentation of lateral condylar fractures of the humerus is relatively common in the developing regions of the world. Fractures of lateral condyle of humerus in pediatric age group, the most common being distal humerus epiphyseal injury, are commonly associated with delayed presentation to terminal health care providers. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one children having fra...

Background and Aim: Intra-articular fractures of distal humerus in adults present a controversial challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Minor irregularities of the joint surface of the elbow usually cause some loss of function. This can usually be minimized by early, accurate open reduction with sufficiently rigid fixation to permit immediate motion. The posterior approach combined with Olecra...

The outward angulation of elbow with supinated forearm is cubitus varus deformity. This deformity is often seen as sequelae of malunited supracondylar fracture of humerus in paediatric age group of 5e8 years. The deformity is usually non-progressive, but in cases of physeal injury or congenital bony bar formation in the medial condyle of humerus, the deformity is progressive and can be grotesqu...
