How to distinguish forearm shortening?

summary

Forearm shortening is the clinical manifestation of supracondylar fracture of humerus. Supracondylar fracture of the humerus refers to the fracture above the medial and lateral condyles of the distal humerus. The elbow pain, obvious swelling, even tension blisters, elbow deformity, dyskinesia were the main manifestations. How to distinguish forearm shortening? Let's talk about it

How to distinguish forearm shortening?

Supracondylar fracture of humerus should be differentiated from elbow dislocation. In children under 5-6 years old, supracondylar fracture of humerus should be distinguished from distal epiphyseal separation. Because the ossification center of capitulum humeri appeared around 1 year old, and that of trochlear appeared around 10 years old,

The relationship between the radial longitudinal axis and the capitulum of the humerus remained unchanged, but the relationship between the radial longitudinal axis and the lower end of the humerus changed, the elbow swelled and the circumference tenderness. The diagnosis and classification can be made by routine X-ray.

Life and sports accidents were the most common causes of trauma, especially in preschool children. The main clinical manifestations were swelling of the elbow (more obvious), severe pain and limited movement, and special attention should be paid to whether there was vascular injury.

matters needing attention

Crucian carp is rich in calcium and phosphorus elements of food, can promote the growth of bone tissue, is conducive to the recovery of fracture patients. Cow milk rich contains a lot of high-quality protein nutrients, which can improve human immunity, enhance disease resistance, and is conducive to the recovery of patients.
