Abstract

Dislocation of the elbow occurs rarely in children than adults and usually associated with medial epicondyle fractures. The epicondyle fragment sometimes was entrapped into the joint space after reduction. If appropriate radiographic studies shouldn't made carefully, entrapment of epicondyle should be missed. We present a 13 years old female patient who had a neglected posterolateral elbow dislocation for 10 weeks and intraarticular entrapment of medial epicondyle. She underwent open reduction and internal fixation with anatomic reduction of the medial epicondyle. Elbow function evaluated with Mayo performance score and the result was found satisfactory.

Özet

Çocuklarda erişkinlere oranla daha az görülen dirsek çıkıklarına en sık medial epikondil kırıkları eşlik eder. Redüksiyon sonrası dikkatli grafi kontrolleri yapılmazsa bazen eklem içinde tuzaklanan epikondil gözden kaçabilir. Bu çalışmada 10 haftalık nonredükte posterolateral dirsek çıkığı ile birlikte medial epikondilin eklem içinde tuzaklandığı 13 yaşındaki bir bayan olgu sunulmuştur. Hastanın dirseğine açık redüksiyon yapılmış, medial epikondil anatomik lokalizasyonuna fikse edilmiştir. Klinik sonuç Mayo dirsek performans skoru ile değerlendirildiğinde yeterli bulunmuştur.
