we present an exceedingly rare case of left monteggia-galeazzi fracture-dislocation and right monteggiadistal radius fracture occurring simultaneously in a 20-year old male patient who had fallen 13 meters from a building. the combination of monteggia and galeazzi fracture-dislocation in the same forearm is very rare and, to the best of our knowledge, simultaneous bilateral monteggia and galeaz...

abstract non-:union: occurs when bone healing ceases and does not continue without some type of intervention. classification of non-:union: is traditionally based on the amount of callus or bone healing at the fracture site. successful treatment of non-:union: often depends on appropriate reduction and realignment of the fracture, bone grafting if necessary, and stabilization. this may not be p...

PURPOSE Determining the magnitude of displacement in pediatric lateral humeral condyle fractures can be difficult. The purpose of this study was to (1) assess the effect of forearm rotation on true fracture displacement using a cadaver model and to (2) determine the accuracy of radiographic measurements of the fracture gap. METHODS A non-displaced fracture was created in three human cadaveric...

The case of a eleven-year-old girl who had a fracture dislocation of the left elbow with entrapment of the ulnar nerve into the dislocated ulnar epicondyle anlage and unstable forearm fracture of the ipslateral upper extremity is described. This severe injury to the elbow and the ipsilateral forearm is termed "floating forearm" injury. The forearm was stabilized percutaneously and the elbow fra...

OBJECTIVES Several studies focusing diagnosis of forearm fracture using Point-of-Care-Ultrasonography (POCUS) had been carried out in children. There is a lack of evidence for the utility of sonographic (US) examination for detecting of distal forearm fracture in adults. We aim to determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of POCUS examination for the fracture of the distal radius and...

conclusions pedicled pibf is a new option for treating distal radius fracture non:union:. the results are predictable in achieving :union: and good function, and this technique can be successfully used in cases with extensive soft-tissue damage or infection. background non:union: of distal radius fractures is disabling. treatment is difficult and the results are not predictable. however, poster...

BACKGROUND Pediatric supracondylar fracture and forearm bone fracture is common in isolation but combined supracondylar fracture with ipsilateral forearm bone fracture, known as floating elbow is not common injury. The incidence of this association varies between 3% and 13%. Since the injury is rare and only limited literatures are available, choosing best management options for floating elbow ...

background supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common elbow injury that requires reduction and immobilization in the proper position to :union:. there are a few reports regarding the position of the forearm immobilization on elbow cosmetic outcome. objectives this study aimed to compare two modes of the forearm, supination and pronation in elbow deformity incidence after closed re...

This retrospective study describes the characteristics and mechanisms of forearm fractures in children <18 months adding to the evidence-base about forearm fractures. It also examines which features of forearm fractures in young children may help discriminate between abusive and noninflicted injuries. Electronic medical records were reviewed for eligible patients evaluated between September 1, ...
