Isolated fracture of the trochlea is a rare variety of partial articular fracture of the distal humerus. A 32 year old gentleman presented with trauma to the left elbow sustained due to fall from height. Radiographs revealed an isolated fracture of the trochlea. CT Scan was done to better evaluate the fracture geometry. An ORIF(Open reduction internal fixation) was done through medial approach and fracture was fixed with Herbert and Cancellous cannulated screws. Post operatively early range of motion exercises of the elbow was commenced. Patient regained nearly full elbow range of movements.

Abstract Background Primary cutaneous mucinosis are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the deposition of glycosaminoglycans in the dermis and the follicles. These diseases are rare in children therefore their diagnosis and management are still challenging. Joint involvement has been reported in patients with secondary cutaneous mucinosis and, rarely, in primary mucinosis. We describe a case of Cutaneous Mucinosis of Infancy with joint involvement. Case presentation An healthy 5-year-old boy showed acute arthritis of the left knee and left elbow confirmed by ultrasound. Laboratory tests were within normal range. Symptoms disappeared after a course of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs. One year later, the knee swelling reappeared; juvenile idiopathic arthritis was diagnosed and intra-articular steroid injection was performed. Due to persistence of arthritis of the knee he was admitted to our hospital. On physical examination variable skin-colored lesions were observed, which had been in existence for over 2 years. We performed a skin biopsy that showed an interstitial mucine deposition in the reticular dermis. Cutaneous Mucinosis of Infancy was diagnosed. Discussion and conclusions Cutaneous Mucinosis of Infancy is a persistent dermatosis with benign prognosis and no treatment is generally required. Our case report is particularly interesting because it is the first in which joint involvement has been reported in CMI, a disorder that has so far been described as limited to skin involvement. Further studies will be necessary in order to clarify the pathogenesis of joint involvement in primary mucinosis.

Articular Fracture

Background The present report describes subluxation and dislocation of the elbow with articular fracture of the distal humerus and injury to the medial collateral ligament, a type of elbow fracture-dislocation about which little is available in the literature. Methods Twenty-two patients with subluxation or dislocation of the elbow (with injury to the medial collateral ligament) and a fracture of the distal humerus articular surface (capitellum/trochlea) were identified. Seventeen patients had a minimum of 12 months follow-up and eight patients returned for a long-term follow-up at a median of 36 months (range 12 months to 154 months) after injury. Results Nine patients had one or more subsequent surgeries. Seven patients had surgery to address complications and two had a planned implant removal. The final median arc of elbow flexion was 120° (range 100° to 145°) and the median arc of forearm rotation was 175° (range 150° to 180°). The median Broberg and Morrey score was 88 points (range 63 points to 100 points) and the median Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand score was 9 points (range 1 point to 43 points). Discussion Some elbow dislocations and subluxations are associated with osteochondral fractures of the distal humeral articular surface.

SummaryThis case report describes an acute traumatic fracture of the medial coronoid process (MCP) in an immature male Rottweiler. On routine radiographs of the left elbow joint, clear abnormalities could not be detected. The definitive diagnosis was based on craniolaterocaudomedial oblique radiographs and a CT scan. The fragment was removed arthroscopically via a medial approach. Histologically the fragment did not show any signs of degeneration nor demineralisation, as seen in classical fragments of the medial coronoid process. One week after treatment, complete limb function had been regained. Follow-up radiographs after nine month showed a minimal increase of osteoarthrosis.

Posttraumatic herniation of brain and CSF into the eyelid, variously termed as blepharocele, blepharoencephalocele, or encephalocele, is not a common entity, with only a few reported cases in the literature. A 4-year-old girl was seen for gradually increasing left upper eyelid swelling after she had sustained a head injury due to a fall from height. A few days later she developed swelling of the upper eyelid. Posttraumatic CSF blepharocele was suspected. The patient underwent surgery with excellent cosmetic outcome. This case is discussed with a review of literature.
