Working Impression Malunion of the left elbow probably secondary to neglected supracondylar humerus fracture
Humerus • Capitulum (lateral) radial head • Trochlea (medial) trochlear notch of the ulna • Anterior Coronoidfossa receives coronoid process of ulna during full flexion • Posterior Olecranonfossa receives olecranon of ulna during extension • Radial fossa receives edge of head of radius during full flexion
Ulna • Stabilizing bone • Located medially, longer • Articulation between ulna and humerus flexion, extension (with minimal abduction and adduction during pronation- supination) • Tapers at the end to form the ulnar head and the styloid process • Doesn’t reach and participate in joint action
Radius • Head of the radius and capitulum flexion and extension of the elbow
Supracondylar Humerus Fractures • Fractures of the distal humerus just above the epicondyles • Typically remains extra articular • 55% to 75% of all elbow fractures • Peak incidence 5 to 8 years, after which dislocations become more frequent • The left, or nondominant side, is most frequently injured
Supracondylar Fractures • In 5 – 8 year olds, bone remodeling causes a decreased anteroposterior diameter in the supracondylar region, making this area susceptible to injury • Ligamentous laxity in this age range increased likelihood of hyperextension injury • The anterior capsule is thickened and stronger than the posterior capsule. • In extension: the fibers of the anterior capsule are taut, serving as a fulcrum by which the olecranon becomes firmly engaged in the olecranon fossa • With extreme force: hyperextension may cause the olecranon process to impinge on the superior olecranon fossa and supracondylar region • The periosteal hinge remains intact on the side of the displacement
