Summary
Complex elbow dislocations involving fractures require careful surgical management. This case highlights the importance of addressing coronoid fractures during treatment for better outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Traumatology
Background:
- Elbow dislocations present as simple or complex injuries.
- Complex dislocations often involve associated fractures, necessitating tailored surgical approaches.
Observation:
- A rare adult case of elbow dislocation with concomitant lateral condyle and coronoid fractures was managed surgically.
- The patient's presentation involved a complex combination of instability and bone injury.
Findings:
- Surgical intervention was performed to address the dislocation and all associated fractures.
- Successful management required meticulous attention to the repair of the coronoid fracture.
Implications:
- This case underscores the critical role of coronoid fracture fixation in complex elbow trauma.
- Optimal surgical strategies for combined elbow dislocations and fractures are essential for joint stability and function.

01:15Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
2.4K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

01:19Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus
3.7K
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...

01:09Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
2.4K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...

01:16Muscles that Move the Forearm
1.9K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

01:12Arteries of the Upper Limbs
900
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

01:31Muscles that Move the Arm
2.3K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...
