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.

conclusions the causes leading to fracture of the humerus during the act of a throw are discussed and the management strategies utilized. introduction five patients presented to the emergency department of a tertiary referral teaching hospital with atraumatic fractures of their humerus sustained during a recreational dodgeball tournament. case presentation the patients were young healthy indivi...

t-condylar fracture of the distal humerus is rare in the skeletally immature children and is very rare in young children, under 9 years of age. this fracture has been classified  as:  type a ( minimally displaced or undisplaced), type b (displaced  but  not comminuted ) and type c (displaced and comminuted). herein, we report a t-condylar fracture of the distal humerus in a 5-yr-old boy. this f...

BACKGROUND There has been lack of epidemiology of proximal humerus fracture using nationwide database in Asia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of proximal humerus fracture and its mortality following proximal humerus fracture in Korean over 50 years of age. METHODS The Korean National Health Insurance data were evaluated to determine the incidence and mortality of p...

INTRODUCTION Simultaneous supracondylar humerus fracture and ipsilateral fracture of the proximal humerus in children is rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 10-year-old Turkish boy with an extension type supracondylar humerus fracture and ipsilateral fracture at the proximal metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of the humerus was treated by closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation. Closed r...

proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. the majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unrecog...

It is well known that proximal humerus fractures are among the three most frequent fracture types. Epidemiological invetsigations show that in people elder than 60 years the fracture of the proximal humerus is more frequent than fractures of the hip region (17). Over the last decades several techniques have been applied for treatment of proximal humerus fractures. Widely accepted is the initiat...
