A 14-year-old adolescent boy with SCN1B mutation experienced frequent seizures and recurrent elbow dislocation, occurring up to 30 times per day. Following failed conservative treatment, the decision was made to surgically repair the lateral collateral ligament complex and stabilize the elbow with the internal joint stabilizer (IJS). At more than 3 years postoperatively, the patient has not had a dislocation event and will retain the device for the foreseeable future to maintain predictable elbow stability.
Although there is scant evidence supporting the use of the IJS in pediatric cases, the current case supports its use in pediatric elbow instability.
一名患有SCN1B突变的14岁青少年男孩频繁癫痫发作且反复出现肘关节脱位,每天发作多达30次。保守治疗失败后,决定手术修复外侧副韧带复合体并用关节内稳定器(IJS)稳定肘关节。术后3年多来,患者未发生脱位事件,并且在可预见的未来将保留该装置以维持可预测的肘关节稳定性。
尽管几乎没有证据支持在儿科病例中使用IJS,但当前病例支持其用于小儿肘关节不稳定的治疗。
