ABSTRACT

The aim: of the investigation was identification the characteristics of the treatment of the internal epicondyle of humeral bone in children. To material: of investigation included 30 children at the age of 2-18 years with fractures of the internal epicondyle of humeral bone with several severities. For the purpose of operation authors performed open reduction of internal epicondyle with fixation using K wires, and also authors are recommended the technique, developed in clinic of Republican specialized scientific and practical medical center of traumatology and orthopaedy, which is based on stable and functional osteosynthesis – SFO using Ilizarov’s apparatus. Results: From all 30 patients in 27 (90%) results were good at postoperative long-term periods in cosmetic and functional aspects. The satisfactory results were in 3 (10%) with little limitation of elbow joint function, and also presence of periodical painful at elbow joint, but children with unsatisfactory results aren’t. In conclusion: it should be noted that, the technique SFO at fractures of the internal epicondyle of humeral bone in children were most rational, which is provided the stable to fixed reposited bone fragments with availability of joint function saving to immobilization period. Appliance of the functional method with early movement of elbow joint prevented the joint contracture and rigidity.

Keywords: fracture, internal epicondyle, children, stable and functional osteosynthesis.
