Neonatal Salter-Harris I fractures of the distal humerus are a rare injury. This injury can be easily mistaken for a posterior elbow dislocation, creating a delay in diagnosis. We present a case of a neonate with a distal humerus Salter-Harris I fracture secondary to trauma during delivery. The patient presented with pseudoparesis of the left arm following birth. Posterior displacement of the e...

background supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common elbow injury that requires reduction and immobilization in the proper position to :union:. there are a few reports regarding the position of the forearm immobilization on elbow cosmetic outcome. objectives this study aimed to compare two modes of the forearm, supination and pronation in elbow deformity incidence after closed re...

The purpose of this research is to establish metric standards for the determination of sex from the upper limb bones of Korean. We took a set of eleven measurements on each of 175 right sides of adult skeletons chosen at Korean sample. Classification accuracy dropped only one or two individuals when only vertical head diameter of humerus is used. Variables in relation with maximal length were l...

Bones of forelimb were studied from a prepared skeleton of an adult female Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in Anatomy Museum of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University to understand the morphological form and structure of Asian elephant forelimb. The angle was approximately 123o between caudal border of scapula and caudal border of humerus. The scapula, humerus and bones of the an...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study is to investigate the relation between indicators of osteoporosis (i.e., bone mineral density (BMD), and Cortical Index (CI)) and the complexity of a fracture of the proximal humerus as a result of a low-energy trauma. METHODS A retrospective chart review of 168 patients (mean age 67.2 years, range 51 to 88.7) with a fracture of the proximal humerus between 2...

Introduction Humerus non-union is a challenging situation for the surgeon and devastating and morbid situation for the patient. Surgical approach to the humerus is demanding because of the complex neurovascular anatomy and especially when previous surgeries have been attempted. Case Report We report a case of a young adult male who sustained a compound fracture of humerus shaft treated with i...

BACKGROUND Loss of reduction and screw perforation causes high failure rates in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the early postoperative complications using modern Dynamic Locking Screws (DLS 3.7) for plating of proximal humerus fractures. METHODS Between 03/2009 and 12/2010, 64 patients with acute proximal humerus fractures were tr...

Proximal humerus fractures are common but debilitating injuries, which result in significant dysfunction for the patient and both diagnostic and treatment challenges for the physician. Knowledge of the complex bone and soft tissue anatomy of the shoulder is paramount in successful treatment of proximal humerus fractures. Proximal humerus fractures account for 5 % of all fractures, and they are ...

conclusions due to the high risk of non-:union: and mal-:union: in humerus shaft fracture, and because applying this simple and inexpensive technique significantly decreased these complications, injecting autologous bone marrow grafts is recommended for accelerating :union: in cases of humerus fracture. results the mean time of :union: was 8.54 ± 3.41 weeks for the individuals followed in the s...
