Simultaneous dislocation of shoulder and humeral shaft fracture is a rare injury, and there is no clear protocol for its treatment. Herein we present a case of a 15-year-old boy, who suffered from a job-related accident and sustained fracture of humeral shaft associated with ipsilateral anterior shoulder dislocation and fracture of greater tuberosity 15 years ago. He received closed reduction o...

Thirty-five patients who sustained humeral shaft fractures were treated by open reduction internal fixation using AO techniques between 1992 and 1997. Open fractures occurred in 8 patients. Primary radial nerve palsy was present in 5 cases. In 16 patients an open fracture or multiple trauma, or both were indications for surgery. Eight osteosynthesis were performed after failed conservative trea...

Arm wrestling is a sport where two people take opposing positions at table and put their elbows on the with palms together, aim being to make opponent’s hand touch table. wrestling, which seems harmless, may become show of strength for adolescents young adults. Muscle tendon injuries bone fractures occur due arm wrestling. Fractures humeral shaft distal third region can also Here, we present co...

T he radial nerve is the most frequently injured of the three major peripheral nerves in the upper extremity.u It is most vulnerable to injury at the mid-humeral level, since it lies superficially and wraps around the spiral groove of the humerus. The most common causes of radial palsy are fractures of the humerus, elbow dislocations, and Monteggia fracture-dislocations. Barton states that one ...

Background: Humeral condylar fractures have fracture lines that extend through the joint surface and one or both epicondyles epicondylar crests, into distal shaft. Addressing articular in dogs lateral approach by using positional transcondylar screws. Methods: A total of four cases with different age groups, breeds sex fore limb lameness caused due to trauma were included study. Clinical standa...

INTRODUCTION Anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with an ipsilateral fracture of the humeral shaft is a rare injury which may require demanding technical skills. CASE PRESENTATION A 33 years old male sustained a work accident. Radiographs showed an anterior dislocation of the shoulder with a transverse fracture of the middle third of the humeral shaft on the same side. The dislocation ...

The neurovascular and muscular anatomy about the humerus precludes the use of a truly "safe" fully extensile approach. Working around a spiraling radial nerve at the posterior midshaft requires either a transmuscular dissection or a triceps-avoiding paramuscular technique. To gain maximal exposure, the radial nerve must be mobilized at the spiral groove. For exposure of only the proximal humera...

Plate fixation of extraarticular distal humeral shaft fracture is often difficult. Traditional techniques do not allow for stable fixation. A single DCP plate may have inadequate purchase in the distal fragment. The use of large plates extending distally over the lateral supracondylar ridge is often associated with pain and sometimes interferes with elbow range of motion. In this study, 22 pati...

background femur fracture is one of the most common fractures in children. certain parameters such as the patient’s age, the exact location of fracture, type of fracture, the mechanism of fracture, and the accompanying injuries determine which one of the many treatment techniques be used in each case. objectives we aimed to compare the results of close and open techniques in pediatric femoral s...
