A rare case of supracondylar humerus fracture after the Outerbridge-Kashiwagi procedure: A case report
摘要
Outerbridge-Kashiwagi procedure (O-K procedure) or ulnohumeral arthroplasty is a procedure for treating degenerative osteoarthritis of the elbow. Although a previous biomechanical study has demonstrated a decrease in maximum strength of the distal humerus after fenestration, there is limited literature reporting distal humerus fractures as a complication of this procedure. We present an elderly woman with supracondylar humerus fracture that occurred after a low energy trauma six months after the O-K procedure. The thin medial column after ulnohumeral arthroplasty was a possible reason for the supracondylar humerus fracture six months after the surgery. Surgeons should be especially careful during the fenestration to avoid the related complications.
