Humeral Head-Split Fracture in Two Dogs.

Vet Radiol Ultrasound

January 2025

Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Roslin, UK.

Two skeletally immature female dogs were each investigated for chronic weight-bearing thoracic limb lameness. The first patient was lame for 2 months following a tumble whilst playing, and the second patient had been intermittently lame since 3 weeks of age. In both cases, radiographic examination of the shoulder revealed fissuring of the caudal humeral head consistent with an incomplete proximal humeral Salter-Harris type IV fracture with an Enoki-mushroom-like appearance of the caudal fragment, where two heads rise from a common stem.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationships among factors affecting complication development and premature physeal closure (PPC) in patients undergoing surgical treatment within 12 h of the time of injury.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2015 and January 2021, a total of 46 patients (37 males, 9 females; mean age: 11.9±2.

Fractures of the distal radius are the most common type of forearm fractures seen in children. The most serious outcome of physeal injuries is growth arrest, which can result in deformity and even significant differences in limb length. Therefore, we'd like to share our experience with treating a patient whose left radius stopped growing after she had a physeal injury in an accident.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the outcomes of surgical treatment for rare distal femur physeal fractures in children, specifically focusing on Hoffa fractures.
  • It involved six pediatric patients, with five receiving surgical intervention and one managed conservatively, showing improvements in knee range of motion post-surgery.
  • Findings indicate that surgical intervention can provide favorable results, but further follow-up is needed to assess long-term outcomes as patients grow.

We report a unique case of first extensor compartment tendon entrapment (abductor pollicis longus [APL] and extensor pollicis brevis [EPB]) after a volarly displaced Salter-Harris type II distal radius fracture in a 16-year-old male. After unsuccessful treatment with closed reduction and pinning, open reduction was performed, which revealed the entrapment of the APL and EPB tendons within the fracture, requiring surgical dis-impaction, freeing of tendons, and stabilization with volar locking plate fixation. Post-operatively, there was no loss of reduction and the patient demonstrated full, pain-free thumb range of motion at follow-up.
