Lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children: fixation with partially threaded 4.0-mm AO cancellous screws.
Thirty-seven children with fresh, displaced (more than 2 mm in any direction) fractures of the lateral condyle of the humerus were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with a partially threaded 4.0-mm diameter AO lag screw. They were reviewed at a mean follow-up of 4.8 years. Painless, full-elbow movements were obtained in 36 cases. Delayed union, with loss of 10 degrees of elbow motion, was observed in one case (2.72%). Radiologically, less than 4 degrees of varus deviation, compared with the contralateral side, was found in four cases (10.8%). Mild fishtailing was observed in three cases (8.18%). Nonunion, avascular necrosis or clinically significant premature epiphysial fusion was not observed. Elbow function was excellent, irrespective of minor radiologic abnormalities.
Comminuted femoral shaft fractures treated by closed intramedullary nailing and functional cast bracing.
Eighty-one patients with comminuted femoral shaft fractures were treated by closed unlocked Küntscher nailing and functional cast bracing for 1 to 4 weeks postoperatively depending on the degree of comminution. The mean follow-up period was 27.6 months. The average time required for fracture healing was 14 weeks. There was one delayed union. One fracture united with more than 10 degrees of rotational malalignment; shortening of more than 1 cm was present in four cases. Two patients had more than 20 degrees of limitation of hip and knee movement.
Percutaneous tension band wiring for minimally displaced fractures of the patella.
Percutaneous tension band wiring was carried out on 26 minimally displaced transverse fractures of the patella. Plaster immobilisation was not necessary and knee movements were encouraged after the 5th day. Excellent function was regained in every case.
Plantar panmetatarsophalangeal dislocation--a hyperflexion injury.
A rare panmetatarsophalangeal dislocation of the foot in a young male is described. Hyperflexion was instrumental in causing this injury. The dislocation was in the plantar direction.
