Lateral humeral condyle fractures are common in children, but concomitant elbow dislocation is rare. This case report involves a 10-year-old girl with an ipsilateral distal both-bone forearm fracture and a lateral humeral condyle fracture accompanied by a posterolateral elbow dislocation. Closed reduction of the elbow was performed in the emergency department without delay, and the patient was operated on as soon as possible. Closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP) was performed for the distal radius fracture. The Weiss type III lateral humeral condyle fracture was reduced through a lateral approach, and fixation was performed using divergent pinning with two Kirschner wires. K-wires were removed, and the motion was initiated postoperatively in the fourth week. The patient obtained favorable postoperative results and regained full range of motion in both the elbow and wrist. Any complications, such as nonunion, malunion, cubitus varus, or avascular necrosis, were not observed.
肱骨外侧髁骨折在儿童中很常见,但合并肘关节脱位则很少见。本病例报告涉及一名10岁女孩,她同侧的前臂双骨折远端和肱骨外侧髁骨折并伴有肘关节后外侧脱位。在急诊科立即对肘关节进行了闭合复位,患者尽快接受了手术。对桡骨远端骨折进行了闭合复位经皮穿针固定(CRPP)。通过外侧入路对Weiss III型肱骨外侧髁骨折进行复位,并使用两根克氏针进行发散性穿针固定。术后第四周取出克氏针并开始活动。患者术后取得了良好的效果,肘关节和腕关节均恢复了全范围活动。未观察到任何并发症,如骨不连、畸形愈合、肘内翻或缺血性坏死。
