Combined Supracondylar Humerus Fracture, Monteggia Injury, and Radial/Ulnar Shaft Fractures in a 3-Year-Old Child
Abstract:
Ipsilateral pediatric elbow and forearm injuries are uncommon, particularly those comprising a supracondylar humerus fracture, radiocapitellar joint dislocation, proximal ulna fracture, and distal forearm fracture. We present the case of a boy who was 3 years, 6 months old and sustained this constellation of injuries. He underwent urgent treatment with closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of the humerus and flexible intramedullary nail fixation of the ulna. He presented with an ulnar sensory and motor neuropraxia that resolved, and he had full radiographic union and upper extremity range of motion by 3 months postoperatively. [Orthopedics. 2022;45(2):e107-e109.].

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...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
