Isolated Coronal Shear Fracture of the Nonossified Humeral Trochlea in a 7-Year-Old Patient
Coronal shear fractures of the nonossified humeral trochlea are extremely rare in skeletally immature children. This fracture is difficult to diagnose accurately on routine radiographs. In addition, the mechanism of injury and appropriate treatment methods are unknown. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy who sustained an isolated coronal shear fracture of the nonossified humeral trochlea. Internal fixation of the fracture was performed with 2 K-wires. Two and a half years after surgery, the patient had pain-free active range of motion of the elbow from 0° to 130° with full forearm rotation and magnetic resonance imaging showed healing of the chondral fragment of the trochlea.Intraneural Nodular Fasciitis in a Child: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with intraneural nodular fasciitis of the median nerve at the distal part of the carpal tunnel. Complete excision of the involved median nerve and cable grafting using 4 fascicular segments of the sural nerve was performed for persistent pain and numbness after initial resection of the tumor in piecemeal fashion. Pain and numbness were completely resolved and there was no evidence of recurrence 24 months after the final surgery.
