Olecranon epiphyseal stress fractures and epiphyseal non-unions have been described in throwing athletes, weight lifters and gymnasts. We present a case in which bilateral olecranon epiphyseal fractures were diagnosed in a competitive NCAA Division One wrestler who presented with chronic elbow pain. Given the rigors and physical demands of collegiate wrestling, we present a novel technique for open reduction internal fixation, grafting and supplementation with BMP for accelerated healing and return to competition.
鹰嘴骨骺应力性骨折和骨骺不愈合在投掷运动员、举重运动员和体操运动员中已有报道。我们报告一例在全美大学生体育协会(NCAA)一级联赛中参加竞技的摔跤运动员,其双侧鹰嘴骨骺骨折,表现为慢性肘部疼痛。鉴于大学摔跤运动的高强度和体能要求,我们提出一种切开复位内固定、植骨并用骨形态发生蛋白(BMP)辅助治疗的新技术,以加速愈合并使其重返赛场。
