On August 20, an eight-year-old boy was brought to the ECSTO clinic, who had fallen from a bicycle onto his outstretched arm the day before. The child was taken to the clinic an hour after the injury and complained of severe pain in his right arm. Upon initial examination, the boy was found to have a deformity on the border of the upper and middle thirds of his right forearm.
After the examination, the child underwent an X-ray, which revealed closed fractures of the radius and ulna.
Within an hour and a half, the boy underwent a comprehensive examination necessary for surgical intervention, and three hours later he underwent surgery: closed reposition and osteosynthesis of both forearm bones. Osteosynthesis was performed with thin elastic TEN titanium rods.
The operation was performed under the control of an EOP (electron-optical converter), a special X–ray machine that allows you to monitor the course of the operation in real time and perform interventions on small bones, including bones of the upper limb. As a result of the introduction of titanium rods, stable fixation of both forearm bones was achieved.
The next morning after the operation, the boy's general condition was assessed as satisfactory. Postoperative wounds showed no signs of inflammation. Vascular and neurological disorders in the fingers of the right hand were also not noted. On the same day, the boy was discharged home under the supervision of the clinic's doctors.
