Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Area of Science:

Pediatric Orthopedics
Congenital Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

Congenital dislocation of the ulnohumeral joint is a rare condition.
It can result from skeletal hypoplasia or tissue interposition within the joint.

Observation:

A 12-day-old male infant presented with right elbow deformity and inability to flex the elbow.
Imaging revealed loss of humeroulnar alignment, superior olecranon migration, and posteromedial displacement, indicative of elbow dislocation.

Findings:

The infant underwent successful open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation of the elbow joint.
At one-year follow-up, the elbow joint was well-reduced, stable, and demonstrated a functional range of motion.

Implications:

This case highlights the successful surgical management of congenital elbow dislocation in neonates.
Early intervention and appropriate surgical techniques can lead to favorable long-term functional outcomes in pediatric elbow joint injuries.
