Outcomes of Paediatric Elbow Dislocations
Abstract:
Introduction: Elbow dislocations are uncommon in children. The treatment and outcomes remains controversial.
Materials And Methods:
We report retrospectively the clinical and functional results of elbow dislocations in children treated in Sahloul University Hospital. Both isolated or pure dislocations and those associated with other injuries were evaluated separately. Results: Forty-eight children were selected based on inclusion criteria. All were unilateral injuries. Pure dislocations were observed in 19 cases, out of which according to the Robert's criteria, 13 children (68%) had excellent, three (15%) good, two (10%) fair, and one (7%)poor outcome. Out of the 29 elbow dislocations associated with other injuries, 3 (10%) had excellent, 4 (13%) good, 8 (27%) fair and 14 (50%) poor result. Reviewing the functional results, better range of motion was found in elbows with pure dislocation compared to those with associated injuries. Conclusion: Prolonged follow-up and effective rehabilitation programs are required for good outcomes.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
