BACKGROUND Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures seen in children, and account for 16 % of all pediatric fractures. Closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation is the current treatment technique of choice for displaced supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus in children. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pin diameter affects the ...

The radiological outcomes of 31 corrective osteotomies for malunion of the distal radius were assessed. The procedure re-established normal anatomy in the majority of cases. There was no significant difference in outcome between the dorsal and the palmar approach, but more secondary procedures for hardware removal were necessary with the dorsal approach.

INTRODUCTION Giant cell tumour of bone (GCT) is a common benign primary bone tumour, seen commonly in the distal Femur, proximal Tibia and distal Radius. Very few cases of GCT are reported in distal humerus. We report an unusual presentation of recurrent Giant cell tumour in a 25 year old male in the medial condyle and epicondyle of left Humerus. CASE SERIES Patient presented elsewhere with l...

Abstract Background Understanding muscle and tendon anatomy is of tremendous importance to achieve optimal surgical execution results in transfers around the shoulder. The aim this study was introduce describe an additional distal slip teres major (TM). Methods Sixteen fresh-frozen cadaver shoulders were dissected with deltopectoral approach. ventral latissimus dorsi (LD) harvested, analyzed fo...

Aim: Closed treatment of distal radius fractures is still a controversy. In children, circumferential casting acute found to be safe. However, research lacking demonstrate its safety in adults. The purpose this study was assess the risk complications associated with adult patients. Methods: Study conducted 60 patients fracture arriving at Emergency department Govt Theni Medical College. Patient...

Background: Intraarticular distal radius fractures are commonly seen of the upper extremity showing bimodal distribution in pediatric and elderly adults. The age fracture is typically peaks 5-14 year group also patients more than 60 years age. Aim: To compare functional outcome intraarticular treated with k wire versus conservative management. Material methodology: study was conducted between J...

Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are a common pediatric elbow injury that are historically associated with morbidity due to malunion, neurovascular complications, and compartment syndrome. True anteroposterior and lateral radiographs are essential not only for an accurate diagnosis, but also for creating a treatment plan for these injuries. A staging system (based on the lateral radiograp...

BACKGROUND A comminuted distal humerus fracture in an older patient is a difficult clinical problem. Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) carries the risks of nonunion, loss of fixation, infection, and stiffness. Arthroplasty carries the risks of loosening, infection, and periprosthetic fracture. Both procedures are technically challenging, and complications following these procedures are fr...

BACKGROUND Distal humerus intercondylar fractures are intra-articular and comminuted fractures involving soft tissue injury. As distal humerus is triangle-shaped, parallel plating coupled with articular fixation would be suitable for bicolumn restoration in treatment of distal humerus intercondylar fracture. METHODS This study included 38 patients (15 males and 23 females) who underwent olecr...
