Doctors from the Moscow Regional Center for Maternal and Child Health performed a successful operation on a five-year-old boy who suffered a rare fracture of his left forearm. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health of the Moscow Region.
According to representatives of the administration, the accident occurred when the child fell on his left hand while trying to perform a trick without success. During a fall, the limb seems to fold into an “accordion” – a diaphyseal fracture of the forearm bones with displacement occurred. Experts explained that the “zigzag” fracture line is a combination of the strength of the impact and the high elasticity of bone tissue in children.
— Doctors decided to operate on the patient to restore the anatomy of the limb. At this age, surgery must be performed immediately, otherwise developmental deformity may occur. As a result, the operation was completed successfully, and the child is undergoing treatment, according to what he reported.MK».
