There were statistical differences in MEPS between the types of fractures (P <. During follow-up, 56% to 92% of children displayed significant recovery of elbow function with improving MEPS after the displaced elbow and fractured fragments were reduced and held in place for weeks. All children with elbow fracture-dislocations received surgical intervention by open reduction and internal fixation. In contrast, lateral humeral condyle fracture and medial humeral epicondyle fracture accounted for 35.90% and 30.77% of pediatric elbow fractures. Elbow dislocation was typically accompanied by a single or multiple fractures in 39 (58.21%) and 21 (31.34%) of 67 children, respectively. Incidence of pure dislocation was observed in 7 of 67 children (10.45%). Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) was used to measure elbow joint function.

Surgical intervention was applied to restore the correct alignment of the fracture. Treatment for the displaced elbow joint was performed by closed reduction and proper immobilization.

Incidence of elbow dislocation with associated fractures was analyzed in 67 children using elbow radiographs. This study was conducted to explore epidemiologic features of traumatic elbow dislocation with associated fractures in pediatric population following appropriate treatment options. The purpose of this manuscript is to discuss the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and preoperative MRI findings of distal biceps ruptures necessitating reconstruction, to explain distal biceps tendon surgical reconstruction technique with allograft or autograft usage, to display the normal and abnormal post-operative MRI findings, and to review the clinical outcomes associated with the procedure. Clinicians and radiologists may be unaware of the normal and abnormal post-operative imaging findings and their clinical relevance. No study has highlighted the normal appearance and postsurgical complications seen on MRI associated with allograft or autograft usage. Although partial tears can be managed conservatively, the gold standard treatment for a chronic distal biceps tear is anatomic reinsertion with additional use of an allograft or autograft. While physical exam may help in diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is particularly useful in evaluating chronic rupture. Rupture of the distal biceps tendon is becoming increasingly diagnosed due to an active aging population and an increase in diagnostic imaging opportunities. The aim of this article is to give an overview of important aspects in the imaging of typical orthopedic/traumatic pathologies. Basic prerequisites on both sides are detailed knowledge of all elbow pathologies, classifications and the spectrum of radiological diagnostic imaging.ДЇrom the point of view of orthopedic surgeons the radiologist is responsible for the correct performance and interpretation of the necessary imaging procedures.

Especially in these cases there is a need for clear communication between the treating physician and the radiologist with respect to managing optimal imaging as the basis for a certain diagnosis and therefore optimal treatment. While acute traumatic injuries often present with obvious structural changes and the need for rapid treatment decisions, chronic processes can present with less evident alterations. In addition to the clinical examination, radiological diagnostics play a decisive role in the further therapeutic management. The elbow is a complex joint with a multitude of acute and chronic pathologies.
