[The functional treatment of transcondylar and epicondylar fractures of the humerus in children]. 1999

A E Solov'ev, and O V Shchekin, and V N Pshets, and S A Kukhtina

Functional treatment of 275 children with epicondylar and transcondylar fracture of shoulder bone with II-IV degree dislocation was done. The conventional method of functional treatment was applied using dissected in articulation ulnaris plaster bandage, the Blaunt bandage and the elaborated method using the external fixation apparatuses--hinge-rotational apparatus (HRA). The highest efficacy of functional treatment using HRA was noted.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007103	Immobilization	The restriction of the MOVEMENT of whole or part of the body by physical means (RESTRAINT, PHYSICAL) or chemically by ANALGESIA, or the use of TRANQUILIZING AGENTS or NEUROMUSCULAR NONDEPOLARIZING AGENTS. It includes experimental protocols used to evaluate the physiologic effects of immobility.	Hypokinesia, Experimental,Experimental Hypokinesia,Experimental Hypokinesias,Hypokinesias, Experimental
D002370	Casts, Surgical	Dressings made of fiberglass, plastic, or bandage impregnated with plaster of paris used for immobilization of various parts of the body in cases of fractures, dislocations, and infected wounds. In comparison with plaster casts, casts made of fiberglass or plastic are lightweight, radiolucent, able to withstand moisture, and less rigid.
