3. History
• A Thai 6 years old boy fall from height 4 hr
PTA. There is no history of head trauma, no
amnesia, no lucid interval. After falling he can
stand up by his own and no weakness. He has
pain at left elbow and deformity. He can’t
move his left arm because of the pain but
there is no numbness all distal to deformity

18. Treatment
• Nonoperative
long arm casting
– indications
• only indicated if < 2 mm of displacement, which
indicates the cartilaginous hinge is most likely intact
• sub-acute presentation (>4 weeks)
– technique
• cast with elbow at 90 degrees and forearm supination
• weekly follow up
• total length of casting is 3-7 weeks
19. Treatment
• Operative
Close reduction with percutaneous pin fixation
indications
• somewhat controversial, but Weiss et al suggest
fractures with < 4 mm of displacement have intact
articular cartilage and can be treated with CRPP
22. For GP
• Just divide to two group Jakob I and not Jakob I
• Not Jakob I refer
• Tardy ulnar palsy can occur after fracture 10-20
years don’t forget about history of trauma can
lead to deformity and nerve palsy in the future
• If unsure on slab and follow up film next week
fracture line can see crystal clear if there is
fracture
