![]() ![]() Conclusions: Overgrowth of long bones after application of intramedullary nails is known in the lower extremity however it is uncommon in the upper extremity and the exact mechanism of this phenomenon has not yet been determined and needs further investigation. Another quite common symptom if the skull is affected is deafness in one ear. What was very unusual was the presentation of the bony overgrowth of metatarsals 1 through 3, in which new bone had formed projecting in a medial direction (Figs. For example, neuralgic pain (a different type of pain to the more common bone pain of Pagets disease). Osseous destructive changes deep to the ulcer were consistent with osteomyelitis as expected. On the radiography, 4 mm increase in radius was observed. Abnormal overgrowth of a bone may press on nearby nerves. After six months, the child had wrist pain and limitation in range of motion. This child was treated with radius fracture fixation by flexible intramedullary nails. It most often occurs between ages 10 and 30. Osteochondroma is the most common noncancerous bone growth. Most often, it affects the long bones in the leg, the pelvis, or the shoulder blade. Case Presentation: This report presents a five-year-old child, who had radius and ulna shaft fracture in the distal one third of his forearm. Osteochondroma is an overgrowth of cartilage and bone that happens at the end of the bone near the growth plate. Longitudinal overgrowth is very rare in the upper extremity. Growth disturbances in long bones of the lower extremity occur in youngsters however. The goal of this study is to determine whether or not patients with overgrowth syndromes have decreased bone density. In patients, who need surgical intervention, intramedullary nails are used. Introduction: Pediatric forearm fracture is one of the most common upper extremity fractures in young sters. ![]()
