متن کاملDistal Humeral Fixation of an Intramedullary Nail Periprosthetic Fracture
Distal humeral periprosthetic fractures below intramedullary nail devices are complex and challenging to treat, in particular due to the osteopenic/porotic nature of bone found in these patients. Fixation is often difficult to satisfactorily achieve around the intramedullary device, whilst minimising soft tissue disruption. Descriptions of such cases in the current literature are very rare. We ...
متن کاملUse of a Dall-Miles plate and cables for the fixation of a periprosthetic humeral fracture.
Increase in the use of shoulder arthroplasty has resulted in the emergence of periprosthetic fractures of the humerus. The management of such fractures is technically demanding. We describe a case in which a displaced periprosthetic fracture at the tip of a stable humeral implant was successfully managed with the Dall-Miles plate and cables system.
متن کاملElbow dislocation with bicondylar humeral fracture in an adult: a unique type of injury
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...
متن کاملDistal humeral plating of an intramedullary nail periprosthetic fracture using a miss-a-nail technique: a case report
The treatment of distal humeral periprosthetic fractures is not widely described in the literature. We present a difficult clinical scenario of a 72-year-old man who sustained a displaced distal humeral periprosthetic fracture about a Polarus Plus intramedullary nail. In this case, stable fixation was achieved using bicondylar Acumed Mayo congruent Plates using a miss-a-nail technique. Four mon...
