Introduction: Intramedullary nailing is a good indication for stabilizing displaced fractures of the proximal end and shaft humerus in adults. Methods: This was prospective series 24 patient, over period 9 months. The aim this study to report epidemiological clinical aspects patients treated with locked humeral nail show medium-term interest, therapeutic method, thus discussing complications. R...

PurposeThere is a paucity of data regarding recommendations on when to correct for distal radius malunions and if the initial severity radiographic outcomes correlated with ability baseline. We evaluated effects corrective osteotomy preoperative carpal joint malalignment resulting from malunions, injury timing outcomes, developed straightforward classification system predicting radiocarpal midc...

Simultaneous fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation is very rare injury in adults. Only a few cases have been reported in literature in pediatric age groups. The authors describe a case report of fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation in a young adult. The patient sustained injury in the form o...

The humeroulnar joint is a uniaxial, diarthrodial modified hinge joint. Motion ranges from 0° to 150° and occurs through a rotational axis in the center of the trochlea, in the coronal plane. At the extremes of flexion and extension, limited degrees of internal and external rotation are present (1). The distal humerus has two components-the trochlea medially and the capitellum laterally. Diagra...

ABST RACT The aim of the study is to report the clinical and radiographic outcome after use of an interlocking nail (ILN) for stabilization of long bone fractures in dogs. Twenty-six dogs were evaluated. There were ten femoral fractures, 12 tibial fractures and four humeral fractures. The equipment was manufactured by Orthovet (Orthovet, Izmir, Turkey). Three ILN lengths with three different di...

BACKGROUND Comminuted fractures of the proximal humerus are generally treated with the locking plate system, and clinical results are satisfactory. However, unstable support of the medial column results in varus malunion and screw perforation. We designed a novel medial anatomical locking plate (MLP) to directly support the medial column. Theoretically, the combined application of locking plate...

We present a 23-year-old man with distal humerus osteoid osteoma referring to our hospital with pain and progressive stiffness. The patient has been suffering from the disease for two years without a certain diagnosis. The radiographies of elbow did not reveal the pathology but further CT scan and MRI studies demonstrated the tumor. The en block resection of the tumor resolved the pain immediat...

INTRODUCTION Simultaneous supracondylar humerus fracture and ipsilateral fracture of the proximal humerus in children is rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 10-year-old Turkish boy with an extension type supracondylar humerus fracture and ipsilateral fracture at the proximal metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction of the humerus was treated by closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation. Closed r...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to describe the anatomic insertion point of the deltoid to the proximal humerus. DESIGN Gross anatomic study. SETTING Level one academic trauma center. PATIENTS Cadaveric study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Bilateral humeri were stripped of soft tissue except the deltoid insertion point. The length of the humeri was recorded. The distance from the greater ...

Elbow's dislocations of the child are rare injuries. Its associated injuries such as the opening and the distal ischemia are an extreme therapeutic emergency. One case of open elbow dislocation with distal ischemia in a 10-year-old child is reported. In the clinical examination, there is a deformity of the elbow, a wound showing the cartilaginous distal humerus with the brachial artery under te...
