The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) of distal femoral fractures in elderly diabetic patients with osteoporotic bone. Thirteen supracondylar or intercondylar femoral fractures were treated by MIPPO with a locked plate without bone grafting. All fractures healed, with only one delayed union in a patient who had deep inf...

Approximately 75 percent of all fractures sustained by children occur in the upper extremities and frequently occur during a fall onto an outstretched hand. The majority of these injuries involve the wrist and forearm, but the elbow alone accounts for approximately 10 percent of all fractures in children. Elbow fractures in children are challenging because of the abundance of unossified cartila...

Background Paediatric elbow injuries account for a large proportion of childrens' fractures. Knowledge of common injuries is essential to understanding their assessment and correct management. Methods A selective literature search was performed and personal surgical experiences are reported. Results We have described the assessment and management of the five most common paediatric elbow inj...

PURPOSE Supracondylar fractures of the humerus are the most common fracture of the elbow in children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in terms of outcomes and complications, Gartland type III pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures treated at a pediatric level-one trauma center over a 7-year period, specifically addressing the impact of time to surgery on the incidence of complicat...

BACKGROUND Notching of the anterior femoral cortex in distal femoral fractures following TKR has been observed clinically and studied biomechanically. It has been hypothesized that femoral notching weakens the cortex of the femur, which can predispose to femoral fractures in the early postoperative period. We examined the relationship between notching of the anterior femoral cortex during total...

Supracondylar humerus fractures (SHF) are seen more than half of all fractures in the elbow. SHF may cause to vascular and neurologic injury. The most causes of the vascular injury are thrombosis with intimal tear, brachial artery entrapment in the fracture site, compression of the artery due to deformity/swelling and partial or complete transection of the artery (by the perforating spike of th...

Background: Distal Femur fractures are one of the common fractures occurring in road traffic accidents. Various modalities are used for fracture of distal femur, one of them is condylar buttress plate. Various studies have claimed better results in surgical management of distal femur fracture. This study was planned to compare two treatment modalities for supracondylar and intercondylar fractur...

Purpose. Analysis of early vascular and nerve complications of supracondylar humerus fractures in children. Material and Methods. 220 children hospitalized in the Pediatric Trauma-Orthopedic Department in the years 2004-2014. The group consisted of 143 males and 77 females. Results. Acute neurovascular complications occurred in 16.81% of patients with displaced supracondylar fracture (37 childr...

Abstract Background Supracondylar fractures. Most common childhood elbow fracture. Can be difficult to manage. Risk of significant complications Method Results • NV documentation, 2018:2019, Improved (36%à45%), Inadequate (45%) in comparison BOAST guideline. Night ops Appropriate as per guideline Surgical technique Conclusions Recommendations:

Malunions are a well-recognized complication of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures. Results of corrective osteotomies vary, and complication rates have been reported to be as high as 40%. Considering the high rate of complications for malunion correction, we investigated the feasibility of arthroscopy. We present a technique for arthroscopic supracondylar osteotomy and percutaneous pinni...
