Complex Injuries

While the isolated fractures of proximal or distal radius are very common injuries in adults and account to 14% and 18% of all extremity fractures the simultaneous ipsilateral fractures of proximal and distal end of radius are quite uncommon. We present two cases (females 64 and 56 years old) with ipsilateral fractures of radial head and distal end of radius due to a fall. No signs of ligamentous injuries were found in preoperative magnetic resonance imaging’s (MRI). Firstly we treated the distal radius fracture in both cases with volar locking plate, secondly we approached the radial head fracture: in one case (Maison type I) conservatively (plaster of Paris) and in the other case (Maison type III) with radial head replacement. The aim of this study has two objectives: first to increase the awareness of diagnosing this bipolar injury in the emergency department and second to introduce the modalities of treatment.

Ten patients aged 3 to 13 years (mean, 9 years and 7 months) underwent forearm lengthening by callotasis. The indications for lengthening were shortening and/or deformity of the forearm due to exostosis of the distal ulna in five cases, enchondroma of the distal ulna in one, growth disturbance after fracture of the distal radius in one, radial club hand in one, congenital amputation of the forearm in one and congenital dislocation of the radial head in one. Four had lengthening of the ulna, one of the radius and five of both the radius and the ulna. The average lengthening achieved was 30 mm. Complications encountered were pin track discharge in three cases, callus fracture in five, delayed consolidation of the callus in one and no callus formation in one. Review after 1 to 7 years follow-up (with a mean of 4 years and 9 months) showed satisfactory improvement in appearance and function especially in patients who had tumorous conditions or traumatic epiphyseal arrest.

Essex Lopresti

Essex-Lopresti injuries and terrible triad injuries of the elbow are rare injuries that typically result from high-energy trauma such as falling from a height or a motor vehicle collision. However, the combination of an Essex-Lopresti injury and terrible triad injury is unique and poses a significant challenge for treatment as these injuries are independently associated with poor functional outcomes if they are not acutely diagnosed. We describe a case of a 19-year-old who presented with an unusual variant of a terrible triad injury associated with an Essex-Lopresti injury. The patient had a distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and elbow dislocation, a radial head and coronoid process fracture, and a distal radius fracture. Almost a reverse Essex-Lopresti, this injury was successfully managed with open reduction and repair of the distal radius, radial head, and damaged ligaments in the elbow, along with an internal joint stabilizer (IJS).

Rare Tumour

Benign fibrous histiocytoma is such a rare tumour that only a few cases have been reported in the literature. A patient with an apparently benign lesion of the distal radius, along with congenital dislocation of the radial head, was presented at St. John's Medical College Hospital in Bangalore, India. Pain was the chief symptom. There were histological features of non-ossifying fibroma in the lesion. Because of its unusual radiological appearance and atypical clinical course, the lesion was diagnosed as fibrous histiocytoma. In this case report, we review similar cases in the literature and discuss an unusual association with congenital dislocation of the radial head.
