Acute plastic deformation refers to a traumatic bending or bowing without a detectable cortical defect.
We describe a rare case from an individual that was exhumed from the Hispano-Mudejar necropolis in Uceda (Guadalajara, Spain) dated between the 13th and 14th centuries AD. The case corresponds to an adult woman, with a bowing involvement of the left ulna and radius. After making the differential diagnosis with various pathologies likely to present with this alteration, we reached the diagnosis of acute plastic deformation of the forearm through external and radiological examination and comparison with the healthy contralateral forearm.
Acute plastic deformation is a rare traumatic injury, not described until the last century and only rarely described in palaeopathological contexts. We contribute a new case, the first being sufficiently documented, contributing to the knowledge and diagnosis of this type of trauma in the ancient bone, while deepening the knowledge of the living conditions of the medieval Mudejar population of Uceda.
急性塑性变形是指在没有可检测到的皮质缺陷的情况下发生的创伤性弯曲或弯曲。
我们描述了一个来自个体的罕见病例，该个体是从西班牙瓜达拉哈拉的乌塞达（Hispano-Mudejar 墓地）挖掘出来的，年代在公元 13 至 14 世纪之间。该病例涉及一名成年女性，其左侧尺骨和桡骨发生弯曲。在对可能出现这种改变的各种病理进行鉴别诊断后，我们通过外部和放射学检查以及与健康对侧前臂的比较，得出了前臂急性塑性变形的诊断。
急性塑性变形是一种罕见的创伤性损伤，直到上个世纪才被描述，在古病理学背景下也很少被描述。我们提供了一个新的病例，这是第一个有充分记录的病例，有助于了解和诊断这种类型的古代骨骼创伤，同时加深了对乌塞达中世纪穆德哈尔人口生活条件的了解。
