A total of 102 children and adolescents, 27 girls and 75 boys of the median age of 10.9 years, were treated for injuries to the proximal humerus at the PediatricTrauma Centre of the Clinic of Pediatric Surgery and Traumatology in Brno over the period of 1993-1997. A conservative approach was indicated in 51 cases (50%), percutaneous pinning after conservative reduction in 50 cases (49%) and an open surgical approach in one case (1%). In 97 patients the treatment results were evaluated as excellent, in 5 patients as good. No avascular necrosis of the caput humeri was recorded. The percutaneous pinning management is prefered because of the final management of the fracture by way of stabilizing the retention of fragments, substantially higher patient's convenience in SH II, Neer-Horowitz III, IV injury types and in fractures of the proximal humerus with a long fragment with displacements. Key words: proximal humeral end, fractures, physeal injuries, children, percutaneous pinning.

BENNETT'S FRACTURE: A NARRATIVE REVIEW OF CURRENT LITERATURE.
Georgian Med News
October 2024
Worthing Hospital, University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom.
Background: Bennett's fracture, a fracture-dislocation of the base of the first metacarpal, poses significant challenges due to the unique biomechanics of the thumb's carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. Effective management is critical to restoring thumb function and preventing long-term complications such as arthritis and instability.
Objective: This article provides a comprehensive overview of Bennett's fracture, including its mechanism of injury, diagnostic considerations, and management strategies, with a focus on conservative and surgical options.
The standard treatment for displaced pediatric supracondylar fracture of humer us (PSCFH) is closed reduction and percutaneous pinning under image intensifier guidance. This technical note describes Kapandji intrafocal pinning technique (KIPT) for achieving optimal fracture reduction and stable fixation in Gartland Type III or IV extension type PSCFH. In KIPT, a K wire was introduced into the fracture site from the posterior aspect, fracture manipulation was done by levering with wire reducing the posterior displacement of the distal fragment and the wire was fixed to the anterior cortex of the proximal fragment.

Lateral humeral condyle fractures are common in children, but concomitant elbow dislocation is rare. This case report involves a 10-year-old girl with an ipsilateral distal both-bone forearm fracture and a lateral humeral condyle fracture accompanied by a posterolateral elbow dislocation. Closed reduction of the elbow was performed in the emergency department without delay, and the patient was operated on as soon as possible.

Introduction: The radial neck fractures in children are uncommon injures and more so in the settings of an associated elbow dislocation. Radial neck fracture, with 90° posterior rotation of the articular surface with respect to its normal axis, is a characteristic feature of rare Jeffery type 2 injury. This injury pattern is reported as sporadic reports or small series in the literature.

Proximal humerus fractures account for approximately 3 to 5% of all pediatric-adolescent fractures, with a higher incidence observed in older children, particularly between the ages of 10 and 15 years. Non-displaced or minimally displaced fractures can often be treated conservatively. However, the management of displaced or unstable proximal humerus fractures in adolescents may involve surgical intervention, with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) being commonly employed techniques.
