t-condylar fracture of distal humerus in young children is very rare. pure physeal fractures of the olecranon are also rare. we report on an extremely rare case of concomitant ulecranon fracture, ipsilateral segmental humerus and intercondylar humerus fracture (type iii) in a skeletally immature patient.

Introduction: Elbow joint is the second most common joint to dislocate after shoulder. 20 percent of elbow dislocations are associated with fractures. Elbow dislocations are commonly associated with coronoid process, radial head and olecranon fractures. Dislocations of the elbow commonly accompany proximal ulna or radial fracture. Elbow dislocation with a distal radius fracture is rare. In the ...

Simultaneous fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation is very rare injury in adults. Only a few cases have been reported in literature in pediatric age groups. The authors describe a case report of fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation in a young adult. The patient sustained injury in the form o...

PURPOSE To determine if specific coronoid fractures relate to specific overall traumatic elbow instability injury patterns and to depict any relationship on fracture maps and heat maps. METHODS We collected 110 computed tomography (CT) studies from patients with coronoid fractures. Fracture types and pattern of injury were characterized based on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs, 2- and...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Biepicondylar fracture of the elbow is very rare, and to date there have only been three reports of this injury and its treatment in the English scientific literature. This case report evaluates the surgical internal fixation of a biepicondylar fracture of the elbow with an associated dislocation. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 15-year-old Turkish girl wi...

background:  elbow surgery is shared by several subspecialties. we were curious about the most common elbow surgeries and their corresponding diagnoses in the united states.   methods:  we used the national hospital discharge survey (nhds) and the national survey of ambulatory surgery (nsas) data gathered in 2006-databases that together provide an estimate of all inpatient and ambulatory surgic...

We were curious about the most common elbow surgeries and their corresponding diagnoses in the United States.   Methods:  We used the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) and the National Survey of Ambulatory Surgery (NSAS) data gathered in 2006-databases that together provide an estimate of all inpatient and ambulatory surgic...

BACKGROUND Elbow dislocations can be classified as simple or complex. Simple dislocations are characterized by the absence of fractures, while complex dislocations are associated with fractures of the radial head, olecranon, or coronoid process. The majority of patients with these complex dislocations are treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), or arthroplasty in case of a non...

introduction the debate regarding the description on classification and nomenclature of the injury which includes olecranon fracture associated with radial neck fractures in children is ongoing. we report two pediatric cases that could not be classified in a monteggia-equivalents system and were treated with open reduction and k-wire fixation. the aim of this study was to perform a systematic r...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this case report is to describe a patient that presented with a Mason type II radial neck fracture approximately three weeks following a traumatic injury. CLINICAL FEATURES A 59-year old female presented to a chiropractic practice with complaints of left lateral elbow pain distal to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and pain provocation with pronation, supination ...
