[Orthopaedic manifestations of Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis].

Objective: Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis is a dominant autosomic genetic disease characterized by different clinical manifestations. The goal of this work was to study its orthopaedic manifestations and to show the characteristics of their management.

Method: A retrospective study was carried out on 15 patients having a Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.

A rare Wilkins group II fracture of the proximal radial metaphysis.

In this study, we report a rare fracture of the proximal radial metaphysis in an 11-year-old child, involving an anterior displacement of the proximal radial metaphysis instead of a displacement of the epiphysis, which preserved its normal connections with the capitellum. This fracture was successfully treated by closed reduction and wire fixation. The reduction maneuver attempted to reduce the proximal radial metaphysis under the epiphysis instead of doing the opposite.
