[Pediatric "floating elbow"--case reports].

Floating elbow is an injury that is characterized by simultaneous fracture of humerus and forearm of the same extremity. The injury is caused by high energy (falls, car accidents) and is often associated with extensive soft tissue contusion of affected limb and there may be present lesion of neurocircular bundle. Operative treatment (minimally invasive percutaneous pinning) should be performed as soon as possible after patient's admission and this treatment should be preferred before circular casting, which may cause compartment syndrome. In the paper we present two cases of pediatric floating elbow treated at our clinic with different functional outcomes.

[Simultaneous double interphalangeal dislocation on a single finger].

The authors report a rare case of the simultaneous double interphalangeal dislocation in the little finger of the left hand. A 35-year-old man, playing football as a goalkeeper, was injured when another player trod on his little finger. The dislocation was reduced by traction without anesthesia and the finger was immobilized on a splint. Although the patient removed the splint only a week later and failed to come for a check-up, at 1 year, his little finger showed no deformity and regained a full range of painless, active motion.

[The closed method of intramedullary fixation of forearm fractures].

The authors demonstrate a group of 27 patients subjected to intramedullary osteosynthesis of the forearm by means of Kirschner wires, using closed surgery. They prefer the described method in patients suffering from multiple injuries who have devastated soft parts of the forearm and in unstable fractures in children. The authors draw attention to the fact that they have achieved very good results by the simple surgical method they described.
