Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of micro-locking plate through vertical or parallel technique for treatment Dubberley B-type capitellar fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 24 patients (17 males and seven females, with an average age 44.9 years, range from 19 to 75 years) fractures that were treated using between January 2016 2019. The inclusion criteria incl...

Introduction: In recent years the understanding and comprehension of elbow has improved, clarifying some aspects complex diarthrodial joint. The relevance radial head in biomechanics is recognized which helps to improve management treatment fractures at this site. Elbow trauma most common origin proximal radius fractures, can be direct or indirect cause an isolated fracture, a fracture associat...

BACKGROUND Supracondylar humerus fractures are very common types of elbow fractures in children between the ages of three and ten years. Totally displaced supracondylar humerus fractures can be associated with neurovascular injuries, and treatment can be complicated by iatrogenic neurovascular injury, compartment syndrome, malunion, and elbow stiffness. AIM The aim of this study was to descri...

93 RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY November/December 2005, Vol. 77/No. 2 Dan L. Hobbs, M.S.R.S., R.T.(R)(CT)(MR), is an assistant professor in the department of radiographic science at Idaho State University in Pocatello. The elbow is frequently involved in trauma and is 1 of the most commonly radiographed joints in emergency departments. Often, the trauma results from a fall on an outstretched hand and ...

We treated a patient with a rare combination of ipsilateral fractures of the distal and proximal ends of the radius. A man aged 42 years had simultaneous fractures of the distal and proximal ends of the radius (radial neck) following a roadside accident. The distal end fracture of the radius was treated with surgical reduction and T-plate volar fixation, and the undisplaced radial neck fracture...

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...

Several alternative approaches have been described to avoid the complications related to the olecranon osteotomy used to treat distal articular humerus fractures. The published experience with the triceps-sparing approach is scant. In this prospective study, a total of 12 patients with an articular humeral fracture were treated using this approach. At a mean followup of 1,7 years, the average r...

A case of 28-year-old man with closed fracture dislocation of the radial head following a fall from height is reported. He was treated with radial head excision. The radial head is an important stabilizer of the elbow, thus the rationale of radial head excision in management of radial head fractures should be scrutinized. There is much debate regarding the optimal treatment for these fractures.

Background: The architecture of adult ulna is unique among long bones that have been described in the literature. But the best of our knowledge, the dorsal angulation of proximal ulna has not been described in detail. While using newer straight precontoured ulnar plates, the recognition of PUDA is important anatomic landmark for surgeons treating proximal ulna fractures, nonunions, malunions or...
