Immobilising Upper Limb #s Elbow Fractures
Adults Ideally don’t immobilise elbow for
more than 3 weeks! Commonly surgery is indicated to
enable stable fixation and early ROM

Midshaft Clavicle fracturesHow much shortening?
Ledger et al. JSES 2004
Biomechanical and anatomical CT study Patients with clavicular malunion >15mm
Reduction of muscular strength of adduction, extension, and internal rotation
Reduced peak abduction velocity
Increased upward angulation of clavicle at SCJ and increased anterior scapular version

Distal Clavicle FracturesBeware of these fractures!
High non-union rate when displaced
Displacement often missed
Treatment also determined by relationship to and the integrity of the CC ligs
![Page 33: Management of Fractures - Dr Matthew Sherlock](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020219/563db7f0550346aa9a8f5b41/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Distal Clavicle FracturesDisplaced fractures require surgery in all
but the elderly (low demand) patient.

Greater Tuberosity Fracture Usually displaced
posteriorly (by infraspinatus) and superiorly (by supraspinatus)
>5mm requires reduction previously 1cm shown to have poor
outcomes. Depends on fragment size and
articular involvement Superior displacement – impingment in
abduction

Greater Tuberosity Fracture Undisplaced
Immobiliser sling for 5-6 wks until healed
Elbow ROM Watch closely for displacement

Small fragment or large with soft bone Suture anchor fixation
(Intraosseous equivalent/bridge)

Double plating method
Some fractures are too comminuted to get stable fixation with 1 plate

Complications: Cubitus Varus
Residual Posteromedialdisplacement results in internal rotation and varus deformity of the distal fragment.
This results in loss of the normal carrying angle, the so-called “gunstock” deformity.

Why reduce? Congruent joint surface Prevent nonunion Prevent growth arrest
Usually Open Reduction, then 2 pins Immobilize 6 weeks, then remove pins.
