Use of intra-medullary stacked nailing in the reduction of proximal plastic deformity in a pediatric Monteggia fracture: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION In a Monteggia fracture dislocation, it is important to reduce the ulnar fracture completely. Extensive plastic deformation of the proximal ulna may make reduction by closed manipulation impossible. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a four-year-old Caucasian boy in whom the plastic deformation of the proximal ulna was reduced, and this reduction was maintained, using intra-medullary stacked nailing. CONCLUSION The technique of stacked nailing is a useful addition to the armamentarium in the management of the potentially awkward Monteggia fracture.

متن کاملA case report of plastic deformity of fibula and fracture of tibia
Background: Plastic deformity is a fixed deformity of bones after application of force which is in contrast to elastic deformity, so it remains unchanged. It is a rare condition and is seen more commonly in upper extremity (forearm). Inability to recognize it causes limitation of motion and remaining of angular deformity. It occurs more commonly in children because of flexibility of their bones...
متن کاملManagement of tibial non-:union: using reamed interlocking intra-medullary nailing
Abstract Background: Reamed interlocking intramedullary nailing of the tibia is a procedure for the treatment of a non-infected tibial non:::union:::. The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the outcome of this method as a treatment of tibial non:::union:::. Methods: Twenty-nine patients with non:::union::: after initial therapy for tibial fracture were retrospectively assessed...

Introduction: Close reduction and intra medullary nailing has been established as the treatment for femoral shaft fractures with a non::union:: rate of 0.9-1.1 % though, it is still controversial. Currently, the most accepted method for treatment of non ::union:: is exchange nailing. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate treatment of femoral shaft fractures non ::union:: via 2 methods of e...
متن کاملThe use of combined 3.5 LCP unicortical plate and nail fixation in proximal tibia fractures and prevention of valgus and anterior angulation
Introduction: Intramedullary nailing (IMN) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. However, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated IMN fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...
