A case of complex paediatric elbow trauma, comprising of fracture lateral condyle associated with posterior dislocation of elbow is presented. Concomitant elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction under sedation, assessing the elbow stability under general anaesthesia along with lateral condylar fracture fixation using cannulated cancellous screw. The patient had an uneventful recovery ...

hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. we present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. clinical and imaging (radiography, ct) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

The type II Monteggia (posterior) lesion is a rare injury which is sometimes associated with ulnohumeral instability. We have reviewed 23 of 28 patients with this injury. A clinical and radiographic assessment was undertaken at follow-up. Functional outcome scores, including the Broberg and Morrey Index and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder or Hand (DASH), were used. The results from the si...

BackgroundThe literature places the occurrence of paediatric Monteggia lesions between 1.5% and 3% all childhood elbow injuries. There are circumstances, which may make early correct diagnosis difficult. Failure to an have catastrophic consequences on joint range motion in chronic stage. The goal this paper is describe our three-step approach treatment acute based stability radiological appeara...

Eighteen patients with acute dislocation of the patella had associated osteochondral fractures. This fracture complicates approximately 5% of all acute dislocations of the patella occurring in children. Three types of fracture patterns were noted. All patients who were treated by immediate arthrotomy and excision or replacement of the osteochondral fragment and repair of the acute dislocation o...

purpose: to report a case of enophthalmos secondary to complete globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus due to orbital fracture. patient and findings: an 18-year-old man was referred to labafinejad hospital, one week after a car accident. at initial examination, the globe was not seen within the right orbit. a large floor fracture and globe luxation into the right maxillary sinus were confir...

BACKGROUND Pediatric supracondylar fracture and forearm bone fracture is common in isolation but combined supracondylar fracture with ipsilateral forearm bone fracture, known as floating elbow is not common injury. The incidence of this association varies between 3% and 13%. Since the injury is rare and only limited literatures are available, choosing best management options for floating elbow ...
