Humerus Varus in a Patient with Pseudohypoparathyroidism
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 7-yr-old girl presented with progressive shortening of the right upper arm and limitation of shoulder motion. Pseudohypoparathyroidism associated with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy was diagnosed by biochemical, hormonal and radiographic studies. Her condition was complicated by severe humerus varus on the right side. Proximal humeral valgization osteotomy and concomitant humeral lengthening resulted in an improvement of the shoulder joint motion and activity in daily life.

A new surgical technique for the treatment of supracondylar humerus fracture malunions in children.
PURPOSE To report a new locking lateral closing wedge osteotomy used in repairing pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture malunions, which allows for coronal and sagittal plane correction of both cubitus varus and extension. METHODS At our institution, eight children with cubitus varus resulting from prior supracondylar humerus fracture malunions underwent a new technique of lateral closing ...
متن کاملSecond fracture of the distal humerus after varus malunion of a supracondylar fracture in children.
Nine children sustained a second fracture of the distal humerus after union of an ipsilateral supracondylar fracture which had healed with cubitus varus. There were eight boys and one girl with a mean age of five years (1 to 8) at the time of the second fracture which occurred at a mean of 1.5 years after the first. In all patients, the second fracture was an epiphyseal injury of the distal hum...
متن کامل[Humerus varus: correction by proximal valgus osteotomy with precontourned plate fixation in children].
Varus deformity of the proximal humerus in children is a little known pathology due to its low incidence of presentation. Progress has been made in recent years in understanding the possible etiology and pathophysiological causes. Radiological criteria for diagnosis and functional impairment that occurs have also been defined. However, there are few reports in the literature about the surgical ...
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 کاملSupracondylar Fracture of the Humerus
Supracondytar fractures of the humerus are common in childhood, and in less developed countries many late malunions are seen. A restricted range of elbow movement often makes it difficult to measure varus-valgus deformity clinically. This can be assessed from bony points but may be hindered by chronic swelling around the elbow. In these cases the pronation-supination range of the forearm is alm...
