IFICS ped trauma case 10 year ols with elbow injury treated in slab 1 week back 1st xray is injury film The 2nd xray is current one What is diagnosis How do we manage
Neeraj Bijlani This most likely looks like an olecranon fracture as it is the second last to ossify and not an olecranon apophysis separation this will require k wire fixation and tension band with a Vicryl or ethibond as growth is still remaining and not stainless steel wires
Anoop R. Nair Continue slab for another 2-3 weeks and mobilise…no surgery needed . Olecranon fracture similar to sleeve fracture patella in children .
Nijil Lal Vasukutty A CT would be the way forward but your chances of getting it depends on what level of hospital you are in.
Ibrahim Elsayed Kamar Lat condye # ap plz to exclude evidence of olecranon # if lat cond. It will be with rotation orif k wire take care of post.aspect of it to avoid avn…if olecranon k wire and tension band
Suhas Singh Good one….it appears apophysis olecranon….very rare ….a rotated lat condyle has to be confirmed only with AP view or at least jones view…
