Neonatal separation of distal humeral epiphysis during Caesarean section: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rare injury of distal humeral epiphyseal separation in a newborn during a Caesarean section. The diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance imaging. Emergency Caesarean deliveries with considerable traction applied to extract the baby can be the risk factor of such an injury.

Neonatal distal humeral physeal separation during caesarean section: a case report and review of a literature
In children, fracture-separation of the epiphyseal plate near the elbow joint is a common occurrence. However, separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is very rare, especially in the newborn. There have been very few reports of this rare injury since 1926. When it occurs in the newborn, it may be difficult to diagnose and is easily mistaken for a dislocation of the elbow. Caesarean deliverie...

متن کاملDetection and treatment of traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis in a neonate: a case report.
Traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis during delivery is an uncommon injury in neonates and usually mimics elbow dislocation. Emergency medicine physicians and orthopedic surgeons must have a high index of suspicion for distal humeral epiphysis separation when evaluating elbow trauma in neonates. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is an important diagnostic tool for this purpo...
متن کاملTransphyseal separation of the distal humerus in newborns
Obstetric traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is a very uncommon injury, which presents a diagnostic challenge. These case serials reviewed the functional outcomes of 5 patients who had sustained a fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis at birth. The diagnosis was made at a mean time of 40.8 h after delivery. All the patients were treated with gentle close manipula...
متن کاملSeparation of the Proximal Humeral Epiphysis in the Newborn: Rapid Diagnosis with Ultrasonography
Separation of the proximal humeral epiphysis (SPHE) is a well-known occurrence and may occur secondary to trauma, infection, and nonaccidental trauma. Since most newborns do not have the proximal humeral epiphysis ossified at birth, the diagnosis may be difficult to make on routine radiographs. Ultrasonography of the shoulder in the newborn is rapid, noninvasive, and nonionizing imaging techniq...
