We present three cases of recurrent instability of the elbow in association with the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The pattern of instability has not previously been reported. We describe our procedure for achieving stability using a bone graft to the olecranon fossa which gave a functional range of movement.

A single antegrade Rush nail was used to treat 37 fractures of the distal humerus extending to the olecranon fossa and up to 6.5 cm proximal to it. In order to stabilise the fracture, the bent tip of the Rush nail was directed into the lateral epicondylar ridge. This gave immediate stability. All the fractures united without residual stiffness of the shoulder or elbow.

BackgroundOlecranon fractures are common and usually treated operatively either by tension band wiring (TBW) or plate fixation (PF). The aim of this study was to assess early complications reoperations their predictive factors related those operative methods.MethodsA retrospective analysis all patients with an olecranon fracture between 2007 2017 at Turku University hospital performed. Reoperat...

T-condylar fracture of distal humerus in young children is very rare. Pure physeal fractures of the olecranon are also rare. We report on an extremely rare case of concomitant ulecranon fracture, ipsilateral segmental humerus and intercondylar humerus fracture (type III) in a skeletally immature patient.

A case of olecranon fracture treated with tension band wiring presented to us symptoms ulnar nerve injury. The was explored and injury identified between two heads flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) distal the level cubital tunnel. injured repaired using sural grafts patient improved as witnessed on regular follow-up.

INTRODUCTION Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a bone tumor involving epiphyseal area of bone abutting the subchondral bone. Commonly found in long bones such as proximal tibia and distal femur. We report a case of GCT of olecranon bone in a 23-year-old male. CASE REPORT A 23-year-old patient presented to our outpatient department with pain and mild swelling at the elbow from last 2 to 3 months. On e...

Mycobacterium asiaticum was isolated from fluid aspirated from an olecranon bursa that had become inflamed following a superficial injury. Other possible causes of the inflammation were excluded. No specific antimycobacterial therapy was given. The infection responded to drainage, regular dressing, and immobilization. Our experience suggests that M. asiaticum is a potential cause of infection o...

PURPOSE To review records of 108 children with radial neck fractures and develop an algorithm for treatment. METHODS Records of 50 girls and 58 boys aged 2 to 14 (mean, 8.7) years with radial neck fractures were reviewed. The most common injury mechanism was tripping and falling on an outstretched hand while running (n=44), followed by falling from monkey bars (n=11). Fractures were classifie...

Background: Controversy exists regarding the best technique for treating displaced transverse olecranon fractures with advocates three techniques: (1) intramedullary (IM) screw, (2) locking plate, and (3) tension band. Objectives: The aim of this study was to seek which method fixation fits according fracture type postoperative outcome. Two methods were used: K-wire band screw. Patients metho...
