In perpendicular group(group A), there were 13 males and 9 females with a mean age of (37.56±9.24) years old(ranged 18 to 56);while in parallel plating group(group B), including 11 males and 7 females, with a mean age of (41...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical effects of artificial radial head prosthesis replacement for the treatment of comminuted fracture of the radial head. METHODS: From June 2011 to June 2015, 25 patients with radial head comminuted fracture were treated with artificial radial head replacement, including 10 males and 15 females, ranging in age form 24 to 61 years old(mean, 40 years old). The functional recovery of the patients suffering from limb and elbow in different periods, the activity degree of the elbow joint and the function of the elbow in the latest follow-up were compared...

Objective: To assess the outcome of long standing ulno-humeral dislocation managed by open reduction and stabilization with V-Y plasty. Methods: This cross sectional study included 14 patients with elbow dislocation that was more than 3 months without joint ankylosis, myositis ossificans or nerve injury. The surgical management not only included open reduction of the elbow joint, but also elongation of the triceps aponeurosis, collateral ligament repair along with the stabilization of the elbow joint...

A 77-year-old male who had had an olecranon fracture 15 years ago presented himself with mild pain of the right elbow. Physical examination revealed painless hardening of the finger and wrist flexors in an area of 10 cm from the origin. Conventional radiographs showed a mature myositis ossificans.

BACKGROUND: Nonunion is a rare but severe complication following forearm fracture in skeletally immature patients. The purpose of this study is to describe a case series of pediatric forearm nonunions treated at our Institute. MATERIALS AND METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed medical charts and radiographs of healthy children affected by post-traumatic nonunion of the forearm, from April 1992 to July 2015. An overall series of 15 cases was included in the study...

PURPOSE: Humero-ulnar external fixation has been proposed to treat complex supracondylar humeral fractures in children. It facilitates fracture reduction and reduces the risk of ulnar nerve lesion, which can occur after cross pinning. METHODS: In a ten year period, 28 children have been operated on in our centre by humero-ulnar external fixation, for Lagrange-Rigault stages III and IV supracondylar humeral fractures. The data about fracture management and early follow-up were obtained from our medical database...

BACKGROUND: Myositis ossificans is a benign, tumor-like lesion characterized by heterotopic ossification of soft tissue that usually affects the elbow and thigh. At different stages of maturity, it show similar histologic appearances with sarcomatous lesions or maturing bone. Misdiagnosis can result in unnecessary radical treatment. CASE REPORT: A 50-year-old woman with dorsal forefoot soft tissue mass was diagnosed as myositis ossificans after surgical excision and confirmed by a histopathological examination...

INTRODUCTION: Myositis ossificans progressiva is very rare with a worldwide prevalence of approximately 1 case in 2 million individuals. No ethnic, racial, or geographic predisposition has been described. Although familial forms inherited on a dominant autosomal basis have been described, most cases are sporadic. CASE REPORT: 16 yr female came to opd with complaints of progressive restriction of movements of bilateral elbow, bilateral shoulder, bilateral knee and bilateral hip for past 4 years...

Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is a kind of self-localized, benign and tumor-like lesions often seen in adults, with approximately 75% of cases caused by trauma. We reported a case of non-traumatic MOC occurred at the elbow joint in a 9-year old child and it has been excised by surgery. After 18 months follow-up, a favorable outcome has been achieved with the Broberg-Morrey score of 100. We suggest that surgical resection should be done as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness of modified Ilizarov semi-ring external fixator combined with an ulnar osteotomy lengthening in the treatment of old dislocation of the radial head in children. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made on the data of 14 patients with old dislocation of the radial head treated by the modified Ilizarov semi-ring external fixator combined with ulnar osteotomy lengthening between March 2012 and January 2015. The age ranged from 2 to 13 years (mean, 7...

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of open reduction through anterior approach of the elbow and frame shape plate internal fixation in the treatment of coronoid process fracture of ulna. METHODS: From August 2011 to October 2014, 17 patients with coronoid process fracture of ulna were treated with open reduction through anterior approach of the elbow and internal fixation with frame shape plate. There were 12 males and 5 females with an average age of 36.4 years old...

BACKGROUND: The treatment of radial neck fractures with complete displacement or severe displacement and an angle of >30 degrees is controversial. The currently used methods, including the Metaizeau technique, are associated with drawbacks such as imperfect reduction, epiphyseal damage, and delayed functional recovery. To overcome these drawbacks, we used absorbable rod fixation followed by early functional training for the treatment of displaced radial neck fractures in children. METHODS: In this study, 68 patients (age, 4 to 12 y; average, 8...

INTRODUCTION: Myositis ossificans usually occurs in the vicinity of the elbow, knee joints, or hip joints, following obvious trauma or surgery. This is the first report on myositis ossificans of the serratus anterior. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report we present a case of myositis ossificans within the serratus anterior which developed as a complication due to long-term nape massage. The patient was a 29-year-old Han woman. Because heterotopic ossificans constricted her brachial plexus the surface of her right upper arm was slightly numb; the symptom disappeared after surgery...

Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is a benign condition of non-neoplastic heterotopic bone formation in the muscle or soft tissue. Trauma plays a role in the development of MOC, thus, non-traumatic MOC is very rare. Although MOC may occur anywhere in the body, the lesions are localized predominantly in the high-risk sites of injury, such as the thigh, buttock, and elbow. MOC can easily be mistaken for osteomyelitis or a malignant tumor, specifically osteosarcoma or soft-tissue sarcoma. We report a rare case of non-traumatic myositis ossificans circumscripta of thigh which appear clinically and radiologically as a malignant neoplasm...

INTRODUCTION: Myositis ossificans is a benign, self-limiting, tumor-like lesion that usually affects the elbow and thigh; occurrence in the hand is uncommon. We report a rare case of a patient with myositis ossificans in the thenar region. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old Japanese girl presented to our hospital with a 2-month history of a painful mass in the right thenar region without previous trauma. The clinical and radiological examination findings suggested an osteoblastic malignancy...

BACKGROUND: Supracondylar humeral fractures are one of the most common skeletal injuries in children. In cases of displacement and instability, the standard procedure is early closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation. However, between 10 and 20 % of patients present late. According to the literature, patients with neglected fractures are those patients who presented for treatment after 14 days of injury. The delay is either due to lack of medical facilities or social and financial constraints...
