Natural Recovery of Very Limited Elbow Flexion After Rare Lateral Humeral Condylar Fracture in a 4-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report.
Case: A 4-year-old boy developed malunion after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a rare lateral condylar humeral fracture running from the lateral humerus, through the trochlear cartilage, to the medial trochlea. Five months after ORIF, the active elbow flexion was limited to 50°. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a step-off of the anterior trochlear cartilage, causing the limited flexion. After conservative observation for 5 years, the flexion improved to 135° and MRI showed that the step-off had disappeared.
Conclusion: This case indicates that it is possible for pediatric patients to recover their range of motion following malunion of an elbow fracture.
期刊介绍:
JBJS Case Connector helps improve patient care by providing the medical community with a journal that harnesses technology to provide information tools for discovery and reporting of unusual musculoskeletal problems, findings, treatment, and outcomes. Co-edited by Thomas W. Bauer, MD, PhD, and Ronald W. Lindsey, MD, JBJS Case Connector assists orthopaedic surgeons in the search for precedents, connections, and trends in their efforts to improve patient care. Using this unique journal, surgeons can find the commonalities between cases, benefit from the experience of their peers, and filter case information by many important variables in order to provide the best possible care for orthopaedic patients. This cross-referenced online journal includes thousands of orthopaedic case reports. It compiles symptoms, conditions, and demographic details to empower surgeons to find cases similar to theirs. Surgeons can mine the database to reveal emerging trends and identify patterns, distinguishing between truly rare cases and repeated, related single instances of a larger problem. The JBJS Case Connector Image Quiz feature provides interactive quizzes based on images from content published by JBJS and includes a discussion area for further exploration of ideas and concepts. The JBJS Image Quiz app for iPad and iPhone is available in the App Store. Contributions to JBJS Case Connector are welcomed from anywhere in the world and are considered on their merits. Articles must be written in English and should be submitted as outlined in the Instructions to Authors. All authors must abide by the JBJS ethics policies and all submissions to JBJS Case Connector are covered by the JBJS embargo policy.
