“…We also took the precaution of using the values determined by the clinical and radiographic measurement twice, applying the means of these values. Some researchers believe elbow carrying angle values to be higher on the dominant side, 5,7 yet we did not encounter such correlation in our study. Statistically, the comparison between right and left sides did not show any difference.…”

“…10 It is reported in literature that this variable undergoes a progressive increase when, in puberty, it reaches its maximum value; 1,4,5 according to some authors this fact is allegedly related to gender, and is higher in female individuals. 1,4,5 However there are others that did not encounter this relationship. 2,6 Observing Figure 3, at the age of 9 years there was a significant difference of the value of the elbow carrying angle between genders.…”

“…1 In physiological conditions this parameter varies according to age, 2 gender, 1,3 hyperextension of the elbow, 4 dominant upper limb, 5 anthropometric characteristics such as height 6 and intertrochanteric distance 7 and can be measured by simple clinical and radiographic techniques. 1 Examining the various databases of orthopedic literature, we identified few articles that study the elbow carrying angle and did not recognize any national reference determining the evolution of normality in our population that presents a distinctive trait of miscegenation among different ethnic groups.…”

Objective: This paper has the purpose of evaluate the elbow carrying angle by clinic and radiographic examination in normal children and determine the range of normality according to age from childhood to skeletal maturity and also check if there is a statistically significant difference between the clinical and radiographic measurements. Methods: We evaluated 510 persons with ages varying from 1 to 18 years distributed in groups with 30 subjects according to the age group with 1-year interval. We performed radiographic examination of the elbow and measured the angle formed by the long axis of the humerus and ulna. The data were statistically analyzed using the student t-test. Results: We determined a normal curve of the study population where there was an increase of this parameter with the progression of age. No statistically significant difference between the clinical and radiographic measures. Conclusion: The average of the elbow carrying angle was 12,78 ± 5,35 degrees for females and 11,20 ± 4,45 degrees for males. This values increase progressively from childhood until 16 years when we notice stabilization. There was no statistical difference between the clinical and radiographic measurements.

“…In five cases, débridement of necrotic bone and varying levels of fusion were performed. 2,5,6,9 Results vary in this group, with three good to excellent results and two poor to fair results. In two cases a VBG was performed, leading to full pain relief and full ROM.…”

Background?Avascular necrosis of the hamate (hamate-AVN) is a seldom reported disease of which little is known on etiology, best treatment modalities, and outcome. Hamate-AVN can occur in multiple locations within the hamate. Case Description?Case one was an 8-year-old girl with painful AVN of the hamate hook. Surgical excision of the hook was performed, leading to excellent results (follow-up 8 years). Case two was a 44-year-old man with hamate-AVN of the proximal pole surgically treated with a vascularized bone graft from the radius based on the fifth extensor compartment artery, leading to excellent results (follow-up 7 years). Case three was a 36-year-old woman with hamate-AVN of the proximal pole surgically treated with d?bridement and cancellous bone grafting, leading to poor results (follow-up 1 year). Literature Review?Nine other cases of avascular necrosis of the hamate were found in literature, all but one treated surgically. Etiology, treatment, and results of these cases, combined with our own cases, are reviewed. Clinical Relevance?This article summarizes and synthesizes all presented cases of avascular necrosis of the hamate. We hope this will be helpful to physicians in decision making when confronted with this rare entity. Level of Evidence?4

Complete reconstruction of the hamate bone has been reported in the literature mostly following cancer excision or avascular necrosis. For the exiguity of the tissue deficit, bone grafting has usually been used as treatment option for its rapidity and easiness to perform, even if a variable amount of bone resorption may occur. In traumatic cases, microbial contamination may jeopardize the success of a well performed bone graft and vascularised bone grafts may represent a better reconstructive option. Here we describe the first case reported in the literature of a patient underwent complete hamate reconstruction following trauma with an osseous medial femoral condyle free flap as vascularized arthrodesis between the capitate and the 4th MTC base, in order to stabilize the 4th and 5th finger and the ulnar carpo-metacarpal joint.
