Delayed presentation is often encountered difficulty in achieving more extensive surgery may be needed. Here we present a case three weeks old neglected volar fracture right wrist treated conventional method rural setting. Case Presentation: A 32 year...
Forearm fractures are the most common type of in pediatric age. As children have excellent healing potential, fracture nonunion is a very uncommon complication. Elastic intramedullary nailing, minimally invasive technique, an treatment modality for unstable forearm shaft children, which can seldom lead to nonunion. Here, we present case hypertrophic pseudoarthrosis mid ulna 13-year-old male, healed spontaneously with elastic stable nailing situ.
The Monteggia equivalent type 1b fracture, consisting of an ulnar shaft fracture and radial head dislocation, is a rare condition first described by Giovanni Battista Monteggia. Metaizeau technique, emphasizing percutaneous intramedullary fixation to preserve bone healing prevent growth plate damage, has gained prominence in managing these fractures.
