Abstract

Non-traumatic elbow pain is rarely seen in children and pre-adolescents. Osteochondral lesions may be the source of chronic elbow pain, swelling, and loss of motion in children or adolescents. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is described as a lesion of subchondral bone resulting in separation of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. It is found primarily in the knee, ankle, and elbow joints. Since osteochondrosis of the elbow primarily involves capitellum, few papers involving osteonecrosis of the trochlea have been reported. This paper discusses a pre-adolescent boy with clinical and radiographic signs consistent with unilateral osteochondral lesion of the trochlea humeri, with no history of recent trauma. The patient had insidious onset of right elbow pain during daily activities for the last 3 weeks. After usage of long arm splint for 2 weeks, persistence of the symptoms necessitated MRI of the affected elbow. After the diagnosis, non-operative management was achieved. Care should be taken for the affected children to recognize any residual deformity and to treat it properly at follow up.

Özet

Travma olmaksızın dirsek ağrısı çocuklarda ergenlik öncesi dönemde nadir görülür. Bu dönemde kronik dirsek ağrısı, şişlik ve eklem hareket kaybı osteokondral lezyonlara bağlı olabilir. Osteokondritis dissekans, subkondral kemik ile eklem kıkırdağının subkondral kemikteki bir lezyona bağlı ayrışması olarak tanımlanır. Özellikle diz, ayak bileği ve dirsek eklemlerinde görülür. Dirsek osteokondrozunda birincil olarak kapitellum etkilenmekteyken, troklea osteonekrozu ile ilgili az sayıda olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda yakın zamanda travma öyküsü olmayan, ergenlik öncesi dönemde bulunan, klinik ve radyolojik olarak tek taraflı troklea osteokondral lezyonu ile uyumlu olan bir olgu sunulmuştur. Hastada son 3 haftadır daha önce belirti vermeyen, günlük aktivitelerde ortaya çıkan sağ dirsek ağrısı mevcuttu. 2 hafta uzun kol atelde takip edilen hastada şikayetlerin devamı üzerine dirsek MR görüntülemesine ihtiyaç duyuldu. Tanı konduktan sonra cerrahi dışı tedavi ile başarılı sonuç elde edildi. Çocuklarda rezidüel deformitenin tanınması ve uygun tedavisi için takipte dikkatli olunmalıdır.
