Introduction: The localization of bone tuberculosis at the level of the olecranon is rare and can pose a problem of differential diagnosis with a tumoral affection. Only the biopsy allows the diagnosis of certainty. T...
Background: The olecranon fractures in children are relatively rare articular fractures. The aim of this work is to study the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic particularities of this fracture in children at O...
Anterior transolecranon dislocation of the elbow is rarely observed in children, reported in only a small series. The present case involves an anterior transolecranon dislocation of the left elbow joint in a 7-year-ol...
Introduction: Pseudoarthrosis is one of the most dreadful complications of olecranon fractures. It seriously compromises the function of the elbow. Objectives: To determine the epidemiological factors of this complica...
AIM: To determine whether use of a precontoured olecranon plate provides adequate fixation to withstand supraphysiologic force in a comminuted olecranon fracture model.METHODS: Five samples of fourth generation compos...
Olecranon bursal involvement due to tuberculosis is not often seen in literature. Involvement is often seen in the subdeltoid and trochanteric bursa, with concomitant skeletal involvement. We report a patient with iso...
Tuberculosis (TB) occurring after a closed bone fracture in the patient with no history of TB and no evidence of TB infection at the time of initial fracture is a rare entity. We report one such case of a 48-year-ol...
Consistent with an aging population, the overall number of distal humeral fractures in the elderly is increasing. Indications for application of acute total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) in the setting of distal humeral fr...
AIM: To define the optimum safe angle of use for an eccentrically aligned proximal interlocking screw(PIS) for intramedullary nailing(IMN).METHODS: Thirty-six dry cadaver ulnas were split into two equal pieces sagital...
