Distal Clavicle Fixation in the Skeletally Immature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distal clavicle fractures in adolescent patients may benefit from surgical intervention depending on fracture pattern, age of the patient, and other variables. Less-invasive techniques allowing earlier mobilization, decreased pain, and no requirement for hardware removal are attractive. A technique of double-button suture fixation is useful for the treatment of distal clavicle fractures in the skeletally immature.

T-Condylar Fracture of Distal humerus in 5-year-Old Child
T-Condylar fracture of the distal humerus is rare in the skeletally immature children and is very rare in young children, under 9 years of age. This fracture has been classified as: type A ( minimally displaced or undisplaced), type B (displaced but not comminuted ) and type C (displaced and comminuted). Herein, we report a T-Condylar fracture of the distal humerus in a 5-yr-old boy. This f...
متن کاملTreatment of a Pediatric T-type Intercondylar Humerus Fracture With Hybrid Percutaneous Pinning and External Fixation.
T-type intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus are rare injuries in skeletally immature patients. Few studies are available to guide the treatment of these injuries. Small case series and expert recommendations suggest superiority of the open approach for direct reduction of the articular surface. This approach poses risks of vascular compromise and elbow stiffness. However, success with ...
متن کاملCoracoclavicular screw fixation for unstable fractures of the distal clavicle. A report of five cases.
Five consecutive unstable fractures of the distal third of the clavicle were treated by indirect open reduction and internal fixation using a temporary Bosworth-type screw. Coracoclavicular fixation provided and maintained reduction of the fracture. Healing occurred uneventfully within nine weeks in all cases. The screw was removed under local anaesthesia after healing of the fracture and there...
متن کاملTemporary coracoclavicular screw fixation for displaced distal clavicle fractures.
PURPOSE To assess the treatment outcome of temporary coracoclavicular screw fixation for displaced distal clavicle fractures. METHODS From January 1995 to December 2003, 30 consecutive patients with Neer type II displaced distal clavicle fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation using a coracoclavicular screw. The screw was removed under local anaesthesia after bony uni...

The incidence of Monteggia lesion is only 1 to 2% of all childhood forearm injuries and even less in adults [2]. Distal humerus intraarticular fractures constitute 0.5%-7% of all fractures and 30% of elbow fractures [3]. Monteggia lesion have been found to be associated with wrist lesions [1,4,5]. Wiley and Galey [1] & Arazi et al. [6] reported one case each of the ipsilateral supracondylar fra...
