What causes cubitus valgus

summary

Elbow valgus is a common disease among children. In order to prevent it, it can reduce the incidence rate of elbow valgus effectively if we have a thorough understanding of its pathogenesis and principle and matters needing attention. Now let's talk about what causes cubitus valgus.

What causes cubitus valgus

The first is the uneven growth of the distal humerus. Supracondylar fracture and distal humeral fracture are the most common causes of cubitus valgus deformity in children without reduction or poor reduction. Elbow dislocation with poor reduction can also cause cubitus valgus to a certain extent. So we should pay attention to the growth of children's humerus in daily life.

Second: Children's humeral internal and external condyle fracture can not be reset in time or poor reduction, humeral external condyle epiphysis closed early or ischemic necrosis can cause cubitus valgus; therefore, when the humeral fracture is must be reset in time, do not let it develop so as to cause other complications. Cubitus valgus caused by fracture of medial condyle of humerus is due to overgrowth of medial condyle of humerus.

Third, the reason of cubitus valgus after radial head resection is that the important mechanical blocking effect of the proximal radius disappears after radial head resection, which makes the biomechanics of elbow joint and forearm abnormal. This kind of situation is not very likely to happen in our daily life, so we need not worry too much.

matters needing attention

Some parents also worry that their children will suffer from cubitus valgus, but after understanding its pathogenesis, they will have a general concept of cubitus valgus. In daily life, pay more attention to some matters. And when the humeral fracture is treated, it is necessary to restore the treatment in time. Incidence rate of it can be reduced very well.
