Introduction Although supracondylar fractures of the humerus are common in children, open fractures of are extremely rare injuries. Gustilo- Anderson Type-III fractures in the upper extremity are primarily associated with considerable bone loss resulting from high energy trauma. In this study, a case of open pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture treated by a joint and defect spanning multipl...

BACKGROUND The agreement between children's self-reports and parent proxy-reports has not been established for function and quality-of-life measures for children with musculoskeletal diagnoses, including unilateral congenital below-the-elbow deficiency. Factors influencing parent-child agreement in this population have yet to be determined. METHODS Ten hospitals administered the Pediatric Out...

Radioulnar synostosis is a rare pathological fusion of the tow forearm bones, when seen in pediatric must differentiate between congenital Synostosis versus post traumatic synostosis, radioulnar uncommon especially if it was closed fracture and treated conservatively. We describe 5 year old girl who presented with 1 following radial head subluxation, full pronation limitation supination compens...

OBJECTIVE To compare supination at the wrist followed by flexion at the elbow (the traditional reduction technique) to hyperpronation at the wrist in the reduction of radial head subluxations (nursemaid's elbow). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective, randomized study involved a consecutive sampling of children younger than 6 years of age who presented to one of two urban pediatric emergency...

BACKGROUND Radial neck fractures in children are rare, representing 5% of all elbow pediatric fractures. Most are minimally displaced or nondisplaced. Severely displaced or angulated radial neck fractures often have poor outcomes, even after open reduction, and case series reported in literature are limited. The aim of the study is to analyze the outcomes of patients with a completely displaced...
