Accuracy of radiographs in assessment of displacement in lateral humeral condyle fractures
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...
متن کاملObservations concerning fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in children.
From an anatomical study and clinical review of fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in children, the following conclusions are drawn. The mechanism of injury is a violent varus force with the elbow in extension, the condyle being avulsed by the lateral ligament and the extensor muscles. If the fracture is incomplete, with an intact hinge of pre-osseous cartilage medially, the fragment will...
متن کاملDisplaced fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in children.
BACKGROUND Although conservative treatment is a well-established method for treating nondisplaced and minimally displaced (< or =2 mm) fractures of the lateral humeral condyle in children, there is still great uncertainty concerning the rate and time course of subsequent displacement. Therefore, the appropriate frequency of radiographic follow-up remains unclear. The aim of the study was to det...
متن کاملTransverse Anterior Approach to the Elbow for Pediatric Displaced Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures
Background: The anterior approach to the elbow for pediatric lateral condyle fractures (LCF) would provide a bettervisualization of the articular fracture resulting in better functional results, less complications and a more cosmeticallyappealingscar than usually seen with the lateral approach.Methods: Retrospective study of children undergoing an open reduction and internal f...
متن کاملOpen reduction internal fixation of lateral humeral condyle fractures in children. A series of 105 fractures from a single institution
Lateral humeral condyle fractures account for 17 % of the distal humeral condyle fractures. Displaced and/or rotated fractures require appropriate reduction and stabilisation. There are, however, a number of controversies in the surgical management of these patients. The aim of the present study was to review the results of patients with a displaced lateral humeral condyle fracture treated with...
