Chronic Ulnohumeral Subluxation after Surgical Treatment of Lateral Condylar Fracture Dislocation of the Elbow in a Child: A Case Report

초록

Case:A 10-year-old boy presented with chronic ulnohumeral subluxation 6 months after an open reduction of a Milch type II lateral condyle fracture subluxation performed at another hospital. The patient had persistent elbow pain and limited range of motion (ROM) between 20�� and 50��. After the open reduction for chronic ulnohumeral subluxation and corrective osteotomy for articular surface reconstruction, he had an uneventful recovery with improved ROM of the affected elbow and no pain.Conclusions:Intra-articular corrective osteotomy for articular surface reconstruction may be feasible to improve mobility and relieve pain in pediatric patients with lateral condylar malunion and elbow subluxation. ? 2019 BY THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY, INCORPORATED.
