Linear hyperostosis of the cortex is the enlargement of the medullary canal and periosteum, which resembles a typical ’melting wax’ appearance of the affected bone. Hyperostosis is often accompanied by hyperplasia and abnormalities in adjacent connective tissues.[2] This disease may result in growth disturbance in the extremity, joint ankylosis, restricted movement, Melorheostosis is a rare disease with skeletal system involvement. The etiology of the disease, which usually manifests itself with bending and pain in the long bones, is still unknown. We present a 20-year-old male patient admitted to our outpatient clinic with complaints of deformity and pain in the second finger of the hand that had become more evident in the last several years. Intense sclerosing and cortical thickening were observed radiologically in the second phalanges and metacarpal. Deformities in radiological evaluation, ‘flowing candle wax’ image in the medulla, and further laboratory examinations enabled us to diagnose the patient with a rare disease, melorheostosis. The patient, who was treated conservatively, has been attending his follow-up examinations regularly for the last three years and is still being followed up conservatively.

Kaplan[6] identified four constricting factors surrounding the metacarpal head, which cause its buttonholing into the palm, that gained popularity this year, and defined it under two subtitles as simple and complex. When the literature was reviewed, the order of frequency was determined as the fifth, second, third, and fourth MCP joints, provided they are closed dislocations.[7,8] Multiple dislocations of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint are uncommon, and those that are open are always complex and need a surgical intervention for reduction. Metacarpophalangeal joint dislocations are often closed. Cases of open dislocations at the volar side of the hand that presents with skin tearing are exceedingly rare and are of a complex type. These should be urgently reduced following surgical debridement, and surgical reconstruction should be performed if necessary. In this report, we describe a 55-year-old male right-hand dominant mason that presented with open volar dislocations of the second, third, fourth, and fifth MCP joints after a fall on his outstretched hand. In conclusion, high-energy blunt trauma to the MCP joint can seriously affect hand functions when appropriate treatment is delayed, and therefore, it is an accepted principle that definitive reconstruction should be done as quickly as possible to obtain optimal functional results.","PeriodicalId":196868,"journal":{"name":"Joint Diseases and Related Surgery Case Reports","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122221122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extension-type fractures constitute approximately 97% of supracondylar humerus fractures.[2] In supracondylar humerus fractures, the Gartland classification is most commonly used for the evaluation of the fracture and planning of treatment.[3-5] There are nonoperative and operative treatment options for Gartland type II fractures. The condition of vascular and nerve structures should be evaluated with neurovascular examination since complications of these structures can be seen after these fractures.[5] This study aimed to demonstrate effectiveness of conservative treatment in type II supracondylar humerus fracture in a pediatric patient. Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are important for orthopedic surgeons because of the high incidence, the accompanying neurovascular injuries, the lack of consensus on the choice of treatment in Gartland type 2 fractures where conservative and surgical treatment options are available, and catastrophic complications. We present the case of a two-year-old male, initially diagnosed as Gartland type 2 and received conservative treatment, which then went on to displacement, necessitating surgical treatment. In conclusion, although a good reduction is achieved with closed reduction and conservative treatment, it should be kept in mind that fracture reduction may be impaired in fractures above the olecranon fossa , and weekly X-ray follow-up should be performed. It should be noted that surgical treatment of these fractures after one or two weeks after the occurrence will be more difficult than treating at injury time.","PeriodicalId":196868,"journal":{"name":"Joint Diseases and Related Surgery Case Reports","volume":"80 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130657416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
