[Pediatric "floating elbow"--case reports].

Floating elbow is an injury that is characterized by simultaneous fracture of humerus and forearm of the same extremity. The injury is caused by high energy (falls, car accidents) and is often associated with extensive soft tissue contusion of affected limb and there may be present lesion of neurocircular bundle. Operative treatment (minimally invasive percutaneous pinning) should be performed as soon as possible after patient's admission and this treatment should be preferred before circular casting, which may cause compartment syndrome.

[Traumatic hip dislocation in childhood.].

Traumatic dislocation of the hip is injury with increasing incidence which is caused mainly by car crashes. This injury is rare in children with incidence in 5 % of traumatic hip dislocations. Authors present two cases of hip dislocation in children.

[Percutaneous transfixation in fractures of distal radius and evaluation of results.].

Authors evaluate results of fractures of distal radius in a group of patients who were treated with the method of percutaneous osteosynthesis by means of K-wires.Two systems were used in the evaluation. Using the Green and O'Brien evaluation system modified by Cooney excellent and good results were achieved in 54,2 % patients.
