Stress injury of the distal radial growth plate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report 21 cases of stress injury of the distal radial growth plate-occurring in gymnasts before skeletal maturity. The injury appears to be caused by inability of the growth plate to withstand rotational and compressive forces. Our observations have confirmed that the skeletal age of gymnasts is retarded, which increases the length of time during which the epiphysis is at risk of damage.

Evaluation of 83 Cases of Trumatic Lesions of Growth Plate
Physis or "Growth plate" is responsible for Longitudinal and latitudinal growth of bones, during growth period of life. Trumatic lesions of the physis may have disturbancing effect on the growing bone. These lesions can result complete or partial growth arrest and shortten-ing or angular deformity of the bone.Trumatic lesion of the Physis is very common in male than female, and they are 15 to 2...
متن کاملA Pitfall in Fixation of Distal Humeral Fractures with Pre-Contoured Locking Compression Plate
Anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. The distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...

Epiphyseal injuries to the distal radius are common in children, but involvement of the distal ulna is rare. Fracture of the distal radius with dislocation of the DRUJ is known as a True Galeazzi fracture dislocation an...
متن کاملAcute Combined Median and Radial Nerve Palsies after Distal Humeral Shaft Fracture
We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented with a distal humeral shaft fracture sustained by blunt trauma. Physicalexamination and nerve conduction study were consistent with injury to the median and radial nerves proximal to theelbow. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the humeral shaft fracture with neurolysis of the medianand radial nerves. Repeat electrom...
متن کاملMinimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of the humeral shaft fracture. Is it possible? A cadaveric study and preliminary report.
Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) has gained popularity with satisfactory clinical outcomes in the treatment of long bone fractures. MIPO for humeral shaft fractures, however, could be a surgically dangerous procedure because of the risk of radial nerve injury. An anatomical study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of MIPO for the humeral shaft fractures, and to study the re...
