Article Synopsis
  • The text reviews the uncommon issue of metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction fractures in children's distal humerus, highlighting a lack of standardized management techniques, with most surgeons treating it like regular supracondylar humerus fractures.* ! -
  • A systematic literature review was performed using multiple databases, assessing various treatment methods based on functional outcomes, complications, and demographic data from ten studies involving 178 pediatric patients.* ! -
  • Results showed diverse treatment approaches, with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning being the most common, and the elastic stable intramedullary nail technique having the shortest operation time; however, the miniplate method had the quickest healing time.* !

Although late complications of percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD), including cardiac erosion and thrombosis, are rare, they are the most lethal. Data are still lacking regarding the usefulness of new imagining modalities, such as three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), for the detection of these complications. Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old woman in whom cardiac erosion was very well visualized by 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) after percutaneous ASD closure.
