HUMERAL condylar fractures are among the most common fractures seen in dogs and account for approximately 20 per cent of the author’s canine fracture caseload, although this is a referral population and probably does not represent the true incidence of these injuries. It has long been recognised that spaniels are predisposed to humeral condylar fractures. It is now recognised that many of these...

Monteggia fracture dislocations can be classic or equivalents. Equivalents, also known as like lesions, are very rare especially type III and IV, which have been added to the literature after Luis Bado presented original classification system of dislocations. Type equivalent is classically defined a proximal ulna associated with lateral condyle humerus. In only seven such cases reported so far....

The interscalene brachial plexus block is not commonly used in pediatric regional anesthesia. The increasing popularity of ultrasound has allowed more anesthesiologists to perform regional anesthesia with high success rates in pediatric patients with the direct visualization of the target nerve and spread of local anesthetics. We present a case of interscalene brachial plexus block under ultras...

PURPOSE To investigate the etiologic factors related to refractures of the upper extremity in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighteen refractures were divided into three groups according to the location of the initial fractures. They were analyzed in terms of the type of refractures, fracture patterns, and the existence of an underlying deformity. RESULTS Of nine supracondylar fractures of ...

BACKGROUND Fractures of the lateral part of the humeral condyle in childhood very often go undetected and are treated incorrectly, giving rise to numerous late complications. The study evaluated the outcomes of treatment of ulnar neuropathy secondary to a fracture of the lateral part of the humeral condyle in childhood. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study enrolled 12 patients aged 28-58 who had su...

We have reviewed 12 cases of fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis, three of which were initially misdiagnosed as fractures of the lateral condyle and one as an elbow dislocation. Cubitus varus deformity is as common after this fracture-separation as it is following supracondylar fracture, and is most common in children under two years of age. Closed reduction and simple immobilis...

Background: Humeral condylar fractures have fracture lines that extend through the joint surface and one or both epicondyles epicondylar crests, into distal shaft. Addressing articular in dogs lateral approach by using positional transcondylar screws. Methods: A total of four cases with different age groups, breeds sex fore limb lameness caused due to trauma were included study. Clinical standa...
