Monteggia Fracture Causes, Types, Presentation and Treatment

By Dr Arun Pal Singh

Monteggia Fracture Dislocation

Monteggia fracture-dislocations consist of a fracture of the proximal 1/3 of the ulnar shaft with concomitant dislocation/instability of the radial head. Often the ulnar fracture is obvious but radial head dislocation may be subtle and prone to be overlooked. Therefore high injury of suspicion is required for correct diagnosis and it is important to view […]

Seymour Fracture – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

By Dr Arun Pal Singh

Deformity in seymour fracutre is due to different insertion levels of flexor and extensor tendons

The Seymour fracture is a physeal fracture of the distal phalanx with associated nail bed injury. Often there is associated subluxation of the nail (ungual subluxation). It is a mallet finger type injury. It is estimated that 20-30% of phalangeal fractures involve the physis in children. Physeal injuries of the middle finger are most common. […]

Normal Olecranon Bursa and Inflamed Olecranon Bursa or Bursitis

Aspiration of Olecranon Bursa

Aspiration of olecranon bursa is performed to obtain fluid for analysis. A bursa can become inflamed due to infection or for noninfective reasons like trauma, overuse, crystal deposition diseases etc. Non-infective or aseptic causes account for approximately two-thirds of all bursitis diagnoses. Infective or septic bursitis most commonly occurs due to seeding of bacteriae or […]
