MAIN TRENDS IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DISLOCATIONS OF THE RADIAL HEAD IN CHILDREN (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

Traumatic injuries are increasing globally in both adult and child populations. The number of injured children accounts for 25-30% of the total number of human injuries [1-5]. In pediatric trauma, the proportion of injuries to the upper extremity is almost 70%. In general, elbow injuries predominate among upper extremity injuries and among adolescents, the proportion is 50%. In young children, the incidence, variability and severity rank first. Sources describe the incidence of dislocations of the forearm at about 81% [34-36]. From the above data, nearly 10% are dislocations of the head of the radius[16].
