13-year-old-male with a left open humerus fracture with concomitant intramuscular mid-substance biceps rupture: A case report.

A 13-year-old male presented with an open left humeral shaft fracture with intramuscular distal biceps rupture after being struck by a car. He underwent washout, humerus fixation, and open biceps repair. Immediate postoperative course was complicated by deep infection and failure of biceps repair.

An increase in paediatric arthroscopy in Europe: Experience of the EPOS Sport Study Group.

Purpose: Paediatric musculoskeletal injuries in association with increased participation in sports activities continue to increase. Arthroscopy is recognized as a safe and effective procedure in children. This study aims to identify trends in European paediatric sports centres over 20 years.

A Rare Atypical Case of a Pulled Elbow in an Infant.

A pulled elbow is a common type of injury in children aged one to four years, where the forearm is pulled in an extended pronated position. There are a few cases of pulled elbow reported in children under one year old. We experienced an atypical pulled elbow case in a six-month-old girl after her mother rolled her from a right lateral position to a supine position, leaving her arm trapped behind her back.

Elbow injuries in overhead throwing athletes: clinical evaluation, treatment, and osteopathic considerations.

Injury to the elbow is very common in the throwing athlete and can potentially lead to long absences from play and, in the most severe scenarios, medical retirement. The throwing motion is a highly complex series of movements through the entire kinetic chain that results in very high angular velocities and valgus forces at the elbow joint. The repetitive nature of overhead throwing in combination with the high levels of accumulated force at the elbow puts both pediatric and adult athletes at risk of both acute and chronic overuse injuries of the elbow.

The long-term results of treating radial neck fractures in children with the Metaizeau technique.

Purpose: Radial neck fractures in children are rare, representing less than 1% of all pediatric fractures. While conservative treatments are often sufficient, displaced fractures may require closed or open reduction. The Metaizeau technique is widely accepted for closed reduction and internal fixation.

Closed reduction with percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation for delayed treatment of distal humeral epiphyseal fracture separation.

Background: Fracture separation of the distal humeral epiphysis in children is a relatively uncommon injury, predominantly occurring in children under 3 years. It has a high risk of treatment delays. This study aims to evaluate outcomes in the management of fracture separation of the distal humeral epiphysis treated seven or more days post-initial injury.

Common elbow injuries in children.

Elbow injuries are one of the commonest paediatric musculoskeletal injuries. Their spectrum varies from pulled elbow to elbow dislocation. Supracondylar fractures are the most common type of paediatric elbow fractures accounting for 65-75 % of all paediatric elbow injuries.

MRI of the Elbow - Update 2024.

Elbow pain can result in significant morbidity. MRI can help diagnosing the cause of elbow pain.Based on a systematic literature search as well as knowledge gained through frequent participation in conferences dedicated to advances in musculoskeletal imaging, this review aims to give a brief overview of normal anatomy and common pathologies of tendons and ligaments of the elbow on magnetic resonance imaging.

Open Reduction and Fixation of Late-Presenting Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures: A Prospective Study.

Background: Supracondylar humeral fracture (SCHF) is a common injury in children, and early treatment provides excellent results and prevents disabilities. Delayed presentation is still prevalent, mainly in developing countries, because many factors hinder the opportunity to receive appropriate treatment. Currently, there are no standard treatment protocols, and there is insufficient published literature on this topic.

Lateral Open Wedge Osteotomy and Lateral Condyle Fusion In Situ for Children With Condyle Nonunion and Cubitus Valgus Deformity.

Purpose: Long-term nonunion of the lateral humeral condyle (LHC) can result in progressive cubitus valgus, elbow pain, instability, and delayed ulnar nerve palsy. Various techniques have been proposed for correction, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this study was to introduce a lateral open wedge osteotomy (LOWO) procedure combined with in situ osteosynthesis of nonunited LHC for the treatment of long-term LHC nonunion with cubitus valgus deformity.

Comparison of biodegradable and metallic tension-band fixation for paediatric lateral condyle fracture of the elbow.

Introduction: In our retrospective study we compared the outcomes of paediatric lateral condyle fractures of the elbow fixed by bioabsorbable pins and tension-band sutures or by metallic tension-band with K-wires.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed the data of children operated on for lateral condyle fractures between 2010 and 2020. Patients were classified as follows: 1.
