Irreducible juxta-epiphyseal fracture due to entrapment of extensor hood: a case report.
نویسنده
چکیده
A case of irreducible juxta-epiphyseal fracture of the proximal phalanx of the little finger is presented. The extensor hood was trapped under the proximal end of the distal fracture fragment and open reduction was necessary. An open reduction was performed using the dorsal approach, with good results.

Simultaneous juxta-epiphyseal proximal phalanx fracture with flexor tendon entrapment in a child: a case report and review of literature.
Juxta-epiphyseal/Salter-Harris fractures are the most common hand fractures in children and the proximal phalanx is involved in most cases. In the absence of soft-tissue interposition, these growth plate injuries are simple to reduce and are stable. However, in some cases, flexor tendon entrapment could be present. We report on an 11-year-old girl who sustained a fall onto her outstretched hand...
متن کاملIrreducible distal radial fracture due to extensor pollicis longus tendon interposition: a case report
Various causes have been reported for irreducible fractures of the distal radius. Most of them have been reported in children.We report a case of irreducible distal radial fracture in an 18-year-old Caucasian male patient. The fracture was not reducible by closed methods and extensor pollicis tendon was found to be interposed during surgical intervention. At one year follow-up, the patient had ...
متن کاملEntrapment of extensor tendons in a Smith's fracture: brief report.
Although entrapment of the extensor pollicis longus tendon in association with a Smith’s fracture has been reported previously, a search of the literature has failed to reveal a case in which all the extensor tendons have been entrapped. We describe such a case, the entrapment only being recognised at operation. Pre-operative diagnosis would have eased the surgical procedure considerably. Case ...
متن کاملAxillary artery injury with proximal humerus epiphyseal separation: a rare case report
Fracture of the proximal humerus associated with vascular injury has rarely been reported in children, and only two cases have been reported in the literature. In adults this combination has been reported more frequently. We present the case of a 14 year old boy with proximal humeral epiphyseal separation and axillary artery injury.
متن کاملFlexor Tendon Entrapment at the Malunited Base Fracture of the Proximal Phalanx of the Finger in Child
The proximal phalangeal base is the most commonly fractured hand bone in children. Such fractures are rarely reported as irreducible due to flexor tendon entrapment. Here, we describe a patient who sustained a malunited fracture on the right fifth finger proximal phalanx with flexor tendon entrapment after treatment with closed reduction with K-wires fixation. A 13-year-old patient came to the ...
