摘要:

Entrapment of the median nerve in the elbow joint is an uncommon complication of dislocation of the elbow in children. Delay in diagnosis has been common. The early signs of median nerve entrapment are the presence of a lesion of the median nerve and pain greater than expected after reduction of an elbow dislocation. The late signs are the presence of a median nerve lesion that is usually complete, elbow flexion contracture, and a bony depression of the distal medial humeral cortex seen roentgenographically that corresponds to the location at which the median nerve travels posterior to the humerus and then enters the elbow joint. If the nerve is intact and one can obtain electrical conduction across the entrapped segment, freeing the nerve and neurolysis should result in recovery. On the other hand, if the nerve is replaced by scar, and there is no conduction across the elbow joint, resection of the damaged segment and reanastomosis is indicated, and has resulted in very good nerve function.

摘要:

A case report is presented of a girl who came to us for kyphoscoliosis of the lumbar spine. The clinical and radiological data suggested the diagnosis of kyphoscoliosis in Melnick-Needles syndrome. The clinical and radiological data are described, including the not previously reported urinary tract deformities. The kyphoscoliosis has been surgically treated with good result.

摘要:

The battered child syndrome is not an unusual problem to be encountered in a clinical orthopedic practice. The manifestations in abused children may be varied and many, necessitating that orthopedists be familiar with the ways in which affected children present to reduce the unfortunate consequences that occur when abuse is not initially recognized. Our purpose in reporting the case of an abused child is to attract the attention of the orthopedic surgeon, who may be the initial physician to see a battered child, to an unusual presentation of this syndrome which simulated myositis. The association of myositis with battered child syndrome has not been previously encountered in the orthopedic literature.

摘要:

A case of distal femoral epiphyseal plate separation following breech delivery is reported. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the occurrence of this birth-associated injury because it can go undiagnosed or be misdi-agnosed as septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, paralysis, or lymphedema. The pathogenesis, clinical and radiological course, management, and prognosis based on this case report and literature review are presented.

摘要:

An osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck in a 7-year-old girl was successfully excised using intraoperative99mTc bone imaging. Since the nidus of the lesion was not seen with conventional radiography, linear tomography, and computed tomography, these techniques could not be used during surgery to localize the lesion or to indicate when its removal was complete. Postoperative bone imaging demonstrated that avascular necrosis of the femoral head had not occurred.
