Paediatric medial epicondyle fracture without elbow dislocation associated with intra-articular ulnar nerve entrapment
Elbow fractures are not uncommon in children, and some are associated with neurovascular injuries. Having a nerve injury in an elbow fracture without dislocation is rare and was not described in the literature. Here, we have reported probably the first case of an ulnar nerve injury in an elbow fracture without dislocation. A 9-year-old female presented to the emergency department after falling ...
متن کاملOutcomes of Nonoperative Pediatric Medial Humeral Epicondyle Fractures With and Without Associated Elbow Dislocation.
BACKGROUND Medial epicondyle fractures may occur in isolation or with associated elbow dislocation. In the absence of open fracture or fragment incarceration, nonoperative management with immobilization has been shown to result in generally successfully outcomes comparable with those reported after surgical fixation. However, no comparative investigation has assessed outcomes after nonoperative...
متن کاملUntreated intra-articular entrapment of the medial humeral epicondyle.
Six children with entrapment of the medial epicondyle in the elbow after closed reduction of a posterior dislocation were seen an average of 14 weeks after injury. The elbows were painful and the average range of flexion was 22 degrees. Two children had ulnar nerve involvement which recovered after operation. The epicondyle was removed from the joint and either reattached to the humerus or exci...
متن کاملDislocation of the elbow with intra-articular entrapment of the medial epicondyle in adults. Report of two cases.
Intra-articular entrapment of the medial epicondyle with dislocation of the elbow is a common injury pattern in childhood. The occurrence of this injury is extremely rare in adults. We present two cases of dislocation of the elbow with intra-articular inclusion of the medial epicondyle in adult patients. One case was treated by closed reduction and the other required open reduction. A brief rev...
متن کاملIntra-articular Entrapment of Medial Epicondyle Fracture Fragment in Elbow Joint Dislocation Causing Ulnar Neuropraxia: A Case Report
Traumatic elbow dislocations in children are rare but most of them are complex dislocations, and in such dislocations, medial humerus epicondyle fractureis the most common associated injury. Fracture incarceration in the elbow joint occurs in 5-18% of medial humerus epicondyle fractures but ulnar neuropraxia is very rare. Open reduction internal fixation is indicated in medial humerus epicondyl...
