Supracondylar humerus fractures (SHF) are seen more than half of all fractures in the elbow. SHF may cause to vascular and neurologic injury. The most causes of the vascular injury are thrombosis with intimal tear, brachial artery entrapment in the fracture site, compression of the artery due to deformity/swelling and partial or complete transection of the artery (by the perforating spike of th...

Upper extremity fractures account for up to 90% of paediatric fractures. Amongst these fractures, Supracondylar Humerus fractures are one of the most common requiring surgical intervention and have a high prevalence of associated short term complications such as nerve injuries and long term complications such as cubitus varus. The epidemiology, classifications, clinical evaluation and complicat...

The use of regional anaesthesia techniques in the presence of degenerative neurological disease is a relative contraindication. The subsequent reticence of anaesthesiologists is perhaps reflected in the absence of any published cases of a CharcotMarie-Tooth (CMT) patient that received a peripheral nerve blockade for surgery. We report a CMT patient, who presented with a supracondylar distal hum...

We present the case of a 50-year-old man who developed a delayed progressive swelling over the medial aspect of his right thigh, six weeks following minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of a supracondylar femur fracture. Angiography showed a false aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery, caused by progressive displacement of a butterfly fragment. Open vascular repair was performed ...

BACKGROUND Severe comminution, bone loss, and osteopenia at the site of a distal humeral fracture increase the risk of an unsatisfactory result, often secondary to inadequate fixation. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of treating these fractures with a principle-based technique that maximizes fixation in the articular fragments and stability at the supracondylar level. M...

Background Supracondylar humeral fractures constitute about 60% and 13% of all pediatric elbow and pediatric skeletal fractures, respectively, with a peak incidence in the 5-7 years age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare closed reduction with open reduction and pin fixation in type III supracondylar humeral fractures in children younger than...

uncontrolled recurrent hemarthrosis can end to contracture, deformity, pain, joint destruction and gait disorders which are disabling. we are going to report a challenge, a unilateral knee flexion contracture in a child with severe hemophilia a and inhibitor who underwent different treatment options with unsatisfactory improvement of knee range of motion. mismanaging postoperatively, patient an...

A 28-year-old male patient was referred to the Peripheral Nerve Injury Unit at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital for evaluation and treatment of a neuropathic type pain he had developed in his right arm. Some twenty years previously, he had sustained a Gartland type III supracondylar humeral fracture with what was thought clinically to be an anterior interosseous nerve palsy. The fracture...
