Pdf Surgical Management Of Distal Humerus Gunshot Fractures

Pdf Surgical Management Of Distal Humerus Gunshot Fractures 5 years surgical experience and the rate of neurovascular injury following gunshot fractures of the distal humerus in a in level 1 trauma centre in south africa, highlighting the need for high quality early care. the purpose of this study was to report our 5 years surgical experience and the rate of neurovascular injury following gunshot fractures of the distal humerus in a in level 1 trauma. All fractures in this series were surgically managed with conventional anatomical plate and screw xation techniques. for nerve injury, we advocate expectant management. level of evidence iv. keywords gunshot injury · distal humerus fracture · nerve injury · vascular injury introduction gunshot injuries to the distal humerus result in high energy.

Distal Humeral Fractures Fixation Versus Arthroplasty Semantic Scholar Purpose the purpose of this study was to report our 5 years surgical experience and the rate of neurovascular injury following gunshot fractures of the distal humerus in a in level 1 trauma centre in south africa. methods a retrospective case series of 25 consecutive adult gunshot injuries to the distal humerus. demographic and injury data were extracted from clinical case notes and electronic. Flex elbow. correct rotation. apply splint. immobilize the elbow in 90° flexion and the forearm in neutral rotation. follow up. the patient should be seen weekly for follow up examination and x rays for 4 weeks, and thereafter every 4 6 weeks, until union is secure and full functional range of motion and strength have returned. load bearing. In distal humerus fractures where the medial and lateral articulation are separated, the deforming forces of the forearm musculature tend to rotate the medial and lateral joint surfaces towards each other anteriorly (fig. 9 a). 4, 24 reduction of the articulation therefore depends upon derotation of these fragments (fig. 9 b d). This injury needs to be carefully evaluated for fractures in subcutaneous bones such as the ulna, tibia, and clavicle. in this case, formal debridement in the operating room should be considered. the key principle of gunshot wound debride ment is removal of necrotic and contaminated tissue.

Distal humeral fractures represent approximately 2% of fractures in adults and are often treated operatively to restore stable humeral columns and allow early elbow motion. diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs. the traction view radiograph and computed tomography with three dimensional reconstruction can be helpful in preoperative. Distal humeral fractures represent approximately 2% of fractures in adults and are often treated operatively to restore stable humeral columns and allow early elbow motion. diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs. the traction view radiograph and computed tomography with three dimensional reconstruction can be helpful in preoperative planning. treatment options include: (1) nonoperative.
