Ipsilateral Distal Both Bone Forearm and Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures With Posterolateral Elbow Dislocation: A Rare Injury in a Child.

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.

Group and Spend: An Evaluation of Perioperative Group and Save Practices in Traumatic Forearm, Wrist, Hand, Foot and Ankle Fracture Fixations and Their Associated Costs.

Background Fractures of the peripheral limbs make up a significant proportion of the caseload seen by an Orthopaedic Department. Some of these fractures will require surgical intervention and typically undergo open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Current guidance states that patients undergoing such procedures do not require group and save testing prior to theatre.

Bone Lengthening Radius using Limb Reconstruction System - A Successful Treatment for Radius Shortening: A Case Report.

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.

Evaluating the time to surgery for low severity trauma patients within a trauma quality improvement program.

Backgrounds: There is potential for inequity in quality improvement and prevention initiatives of low severity trauma burden may not be considered proportionately in the context of their impacts on healthcare providers or the community. This study defines and tests a small preliminary set of common, low-severity injuries requiring non-urgent, operative interventions in a health region of NZ.

Methods: The regional trauma registry was reviewed to develop a short list of potential diagnostic groups to be used in testing the time from admission to surgery and selection criteria were applied to find appropriate injuries.

Assessment of the Mechanical Properties and Fragment Characteristics of a 3D-Printed Forearm Orthosis.

Distal radius fractures (DRF) are one of the most prevalent injuries a person may sustain. The current treatment of DRF involves the use of casts made from Plaster of Paris or fiberglass. The application of these materials is a serious endeavor that influences their intended use, and should be conducted by specially trained personnel.

Clinical Significance of Incident Osteoporotic Fractures After Kidney Transplantation: A National Korean Cohort Study.

Rationale & Objective: Recipients of kidney allografts are at risk for osteoporotic fractures (OF), but their association with patient and allograft outcomes remains uncertain due to common coexisting risks and complex medical conditions. This study sought to assess if overall incidence of OF among recipients of kidney allografts compared to patients receiving maintenance dialysis for kidney failure.

Study Design: A national retrospective cohort study.

Alternative Management Approach for Infected Gap Non-Union of Both Bone Forearm - A Case Report.

Introduction: Infected gap non-union is a serious complication seen in cases of diaphyseal fracture of forearm bones. It carries high morbidity in the form of severe functional impairment and poses a challenge to treat due to the complex anatomical relationship and articulations involved. Though there are multiple treatment options available, there are no guidelines for its management.

Removal of Forearm Plate Leads to a Higher Risk of Refracture-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Plate fixation is the preferred method for treating forearm shaft fractures. However, it remains controversial regarding the necessity of implant removal after bone union. This review aims to assess refracture risk after plate removal.

Ipsilateral proximal and distal radius fractures without elbow dislocation: A case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Ipsilateral proximal and distal radius fractures without elbow dislocation are extremely rare injuries and a few cases have been reported. Currently, there is no well-established consensus regarding their optimal management.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 57-year-old woman who had a right bipolar radius fracture after falling from a standing height.

Causal association between cholecystectomy and fracture: A Mendelian randomization study.

Previous observational studies have reported that cholecystectomy is associated with an increased risk of fracture. However, the causality of this association remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the causal relationship between cholecystectomy and fracture using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.

Nonunion of Adult Forearm Fractures: Evaluation of Intramedullary Nailing with Grafting as a Treatment Option.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of intramedullary nailing combining with iliac or fibular autograft for the treatment of adult forearm nonunions.

Methods: Design: Retrospective case series.

Setting: Two academic trauma referral center.

Shanz-assisted Closed Reduction (SACR): A Novel Reduction Technique for Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing of Pediatric Forearm Fractures.

Forearm fractures involving both bones are prevalent among pediatric patients. Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) is an excellent option for forearm fractures that require surgical stabilization in children and adolescents. Proximal third fractures can be particularly challenging to reduce using closed techniques, and multiple unsuccessful attempts at nail insertion can increase the risk of compartment syndrome.

The Use of 3-Dimensional Modeling and Printing in Corrective Osteotomies of the Malunited Pediatric Forearm: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Forearm fractures contribute up to 40% of all pediatric fractures, with ≤39% of conservatively managed fractures resulting in malunion. Surgical management of malunion is challenging as precise calculation of multiplanar correction is required to obtain optimal outcomes. Advances in 3D computer modeling and printing have shown promising results in orthopaedics, reducing surgical time, blood loss, and fluoroscopy.

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.

Derotational Corrective Osteotomy for Pediatric Forearm Malunion: A Case Report.

In this case report, we describe an eight-year-old boy with both-bone forearm diaphyseal fracture that was treated conservatively after closed reduction with manipulation. Nine months after the injury, he returned to consultation, presenting a rotational deformity of the forearm and 20° of pronosupination limitation. He was submitted to corrective osteotomies, using three-dimensional (3D) planning and templating, using a double approach, and fixation with a four screw holes plate in each osteotomy.

Both-Bone Forearm Shaft Fractures Treated with Compression Plate Fixation in Adults: A Systematic Review on Adverse Events and Outcomes.

Background: Both-bone forearm shaft fractures (BBFFs) in adults carry a significant risk of adverse events (AEs). Based on the current literature, there is considerable variance in AE incidence reporting. We aimed to systematically review the literature on BBFFs in adults treated with compression plate fixation, assessing AEs and long-term outcomes.

Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) in the emergency department: a scoping review.

Introduction: While many studies have been published on Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in the Emergency Department (ED), there has been no previous study assessing the current state of the literature based in the form of a scoping review.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current state of the literature on UGRA performed in the ED setting.
