How is cubitus varus?
What you said about "fracture of bone condyle" is wrong! It should be "supracondylar fracture of humerus" This kind of fracture is common in children, accounting for 3~4% of elbow fractures in children. If this kind of fracture is not handled properly, it is easy to cause Volkmann ischemic muscle contracture and cubitus varus! Under normal circumstances, our normal elbow joint has a natural elbow valgus angle called "carrying angle", and the normal range is 1~15 degrees. This carrying angle change is the main complication of the late supracondylar fracture of humerus in children, and its incidence rate is 3~57%. Most scholars believe that the reason is the angular displacement of the two supracondylar fracture ends of humerus. The displacement of distal fracture end to ulnar side is an important factor leading to cubitus varus! I don't think the doctor will treat your baby according to dislocation, because this kind of fracture is easy to find! The reasons for cubitus varus are probably as follows: 1. It is not easy to observe the change of elbow carrying angle after elbow flexion and 9-degree reduction and fixation; 2. When the abduction frame was fixed, the distal forearm was not carefully raised, which led to the inward inclination of the distal fracture end in the plaster. Although the rotation and displacement of the distal fracture end is not the direct cause of cubitus varus, when the distal fracture end rotates, even if the distal fracture end is above the proximal fracture end, the fracture contact surface is actually an unstable fulcrum, which is easily affected by the position and gravity of the limb and turns into an angle, which is the basis of varus deformity. Correction can only rely on surgical methods! The method is relatively simple. But mild cubitus varus (carrying angle's loss and varus within 1 degrees), the appearance deformity is not obvious and it does not affect the function, so there is no need for surgical correction! However, this kind of operation needs a more accurate osteotomy angle, and requires careful preoperative research and intraoperative operation by specialists ~ but this kind of operation also has certain complications, that is, Volkmann ischemic muscle contracture! If the family economy permits, I recommend a good hospital-beijing jishuitan hospital! There is the most authoritative hospital in the field of orthopedics in China at present! I wish you a speedy recovery! The baby grows up healthily!
