Background: Simultaneous dislocation of the elbow, radioulnar joint and proximal radius fracture with rotary noose injury to the medial ulna tubercle is extremely rare. An emergency surgery was performed to reduce it. The radial head with the backbone was reset after two hammers were fixed, then the radial capitulum safety was fixed with a locking plate. After the ulnar instability was examined, two Kirschner wires were drilled percutaneously to fix the elbow flexion at 100° under closed reduction, and two Kirschner wires were drilled percutaneously to fix the ulnar joint. Good follow-up results were achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on this particular type of injury and on this approach to treating this type of injury.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 36-year-old male, who extended and landed on his left hand to protect his child in right arm before felling, resulting in severe pain and deformity of his left elbow and wrist and loss of movement in these joints. X-ray examination found proximal distal radioulnar joints, a proximal radial fracture and a dislocation bowstring in the ulna nodule. For a timely diagnosis in an emergency open reduction situation, accurate judgment of this injury is highly important. After 12 months of postoperative follow-up, the patient was symptom-free, and radiographs showed fracture healing.

Conclusion: We performed emergency reduction and internal fixation of the elbow and successfully saved elbow function, no stability decrease and movement restriction. This case also provides a new reference for the treatment of this type of elbow fracture dislocation.

Combined ACL and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Authors:
Adnan Saithna Mathieu Thaunat Jean Romain Delaloye Hervé Ouanezar Jean Marie Fayard Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet

JBJS Essent Surg Tech 2018 Mar 10;8(1):e2. Epub 2018 Jan 10.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, Centre Orthopédique Santy, FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence, Groupe Ramsay-Generale de Sante, Hôpital Privé Jean Mermoz, Lyon, France.

Background: Clinical results of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction have demonstrated a significant reduction in ACL graft rupture rates and improved rates of return to sports compared with isolated ACL reconstruction. This finding is supported by laboratory studies that have demonstrated that combined ACL reconstruction and lateral extra-articular tenodesis procedures protect the ACL graft by load-sharing with it and by more reliably restoring normal knee kinematics compared with isolated ACL reconstruction.

Description: The ACL graft is formed from a tripled semitendinosus tendon and a single strand of gracilis tendon. Read More

Mid-America Orthopaedic Association Physician in Training Award: Surgical technique: Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures: a technique to aid closed reduction.

Authors:
Mary A Herzog Shelley M Oliver James R Ringler Clifford B Jones Debra L Sietsema

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2013 May 12;471(5):1419-26. Epub 2013 Feb 12.

Grand Rapids Medical Education Partners/Michigan State University Orthopaedic Surgery, Grand Rapids, MI, USA.

Background: Anatomic reduction of some displaced pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures is not attainable via closed manipulation, thus necessitating open reduction. Open reduction has been associated with increased complications, including elbow stiffness, scarring, iatrogenic neurovascular injury, and longer hospital stays. Using a Schanz pin to aid in closed reduction may decrease the need for conversion to an open procedure, possibly reducing morbidity. Read More

Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory, Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA.

Objective: To evaluate healing of surgically created large osteochondral defects in a weight-bearing femoral condyle in response to delayed percutaneous direct injection of adenoviral (Ad) vectors containing coding regions for either human bone morphogenetic proteins 2 (BMP-2) or -6.

Methods: Four 13mm diameter and 7mm depth circular osteochondral defects were drilled, 1/femoral condyle (n=20 defects in five ponies). At 2 weeks, Ad-BMP-2, Ad-BMP-6, Ad-green fluorescent protein (GFP), or saline was percutaneously injected into the central drill hole of the defect. Read More
