Management of heterotopic ossification and restricted forearm rotation after tension band wiring for olecranon fracture
A 32-year-old lady presented to our clinic with persistent painful restriction of her dominant forearm movements for three months after tension band wiring of olecranon. She had full elbow flexion and extension; however, her forearm rotations were restricted and painful. Investigations revealed prominent tips of the wire, eroding the radial tuberosity with heterotopic ossification between the r...

متن کاملResults of Closed Intramedullary Nailing using Talwarkar Square Nail in Adult Forearm Fractures.
ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to evaluate results of closed intramedullary nailing using Talwarkar square nails in adult forearm fractures. We prospectively evaluated 34 patients with both bone forearm fractures. The average time to union was 12.8 (SD +3.2) weeks with cast support for a mean of 8.2 weeks. Union was achieved in 31 out of 34 patients. Using the Grace and Eversmann rating syst...
متن کاملMalpositioned olecranon fracture tension-band wiring results in proximal radioulnar synostosis
BACKGROUND Tension-band wiring (TBW) is a well-established fixation technique for two-part, transverse fracture types of the olecranon. However, complication rates up to 80 % are reported. By reporting on the enormous impact on the patient if failed the aim of the present report was to emphasize the importance of correct K wire positioning in TBW. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 49...
متن کاملUse of Ilizarov Fixator for Grade III B Open Olecranon Fracture: a Case Report and Surgical Technique
INTRODUCTION External fixator application can be difficult for olecranon fractures in presence of large degloving injuries. We describe use of simple Ilizarov ring fixator construct for grade IIIB open olecranon fracture management. CASE REPORT A 45-year-old female with Grade III B open comminuted olecranon fracture (30*15cm degloving area) and ulnar nerve palsy was treated with a novel ring ...
