MULTIPLE FRACTURES IN A SINGLE UPPER EXTREMITY: HUMERAL SHAFT, OLECRANON, DISTAL RADIUS AND FOURTH METACARPAL BONE FRACTURES IN AN ELDERLY PATIENT AFTER A FALL: A CASE REPORT

Serkan BayramLezgin MertMehmet EkinciTurgut Akgülİrfan Öztürk

Floating limb is a complicated injury and is associated with limb deformation and increased morbidity and mortality. We report a rare case of a floating upper limb in a 77-year old woman with ipsilateral humeral shaft, olecranon, distal radial and metacarpal bone fractures after a simple fall. The patient underwent surgery for humerus shaft, olecranon, and distal radius and was treated surgically with the 4th metacarpal conservative method. At the final follow-up 3 years after surgery, the patient had no complaints, all fracture had healed completely and elbow-wrist range of motion was complete. We discuss the surgical procedures that we used for the fractures, the mechanism of injury and the functional and radiological results. Multiple bone fractures in the same limb are rare and typically associated with high-trauma. We reported a unique case of an elderly patient with osteoporosis having multiple fractures in the same extremity that occurred as a result of low-energy trauma.

BASİT DÜŞME SONRASI YAŞLI HASTADA AYNI TARAF EKSTREMİTEDE MULTİPL KIRIK; HUMERUS ŞAFT, OLEKRANON, DİSTAL RADİUS VE DÖRDÜNCÜ METAKARPAL KEMİK KIRIĞI-OLGU SUNUMU

Yüzen ekstremite ile sonuçlanan yaralanmalar kompleks, ciddi sakatlıklara neden olabilen ve morbidite-mortalite riski yüksek olan yaralanmalardır. Bu olguda basit bir düşme sonucu aynı tarafta humerus şaft, olekranon, radius alt uç ve dördüncü metakarpal kemik kırıkları olan, 77 yaşında bir kadın hastada nadir görülen yüzen bir üst ekstremite olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Humerus şaft, olekranon ve radius alt uç kırıkları ameliyat ile metakarp kırığı konservatif metot ile tedavi edildi. Hastanın ameliyat sonrası 3. yıl takibinde, ek şikayeti olmadığı, kırıkları tamamen iyileştiği ve dirsek, el bileği hareket açıklıklarının tam olduğu saptandı. Bu olgu da kırıklar için kullandığımız cerrahi teknikleri, yaralanma mekanizmasını ve fonksiyonel ve radyolojik sonuçları sunduk. Aynı uzuvdaki çoklu kemik kırıkları nadirdir ve tipik olarak yüksek enerjili bir travma ile ilişkilidir. Bu olgumuzda literatürde çok nadir bildirilen düşük enerjili bir travma sonucu gelişen aynı taraf ekstremitede birden fazla kırığı olan osteoporozlu hastayı sunduk.
