🏥 Pediatric Orthopedic Alert: Lateral Condyle Fractures
Accidents happen—especially with active teens and budding athletes here in gorakhpur. One of the most common yet “tricky” elbow injuries we see in the adolescent population is the Lateral Condyle Humerus Fracture.
🔍 Why is this fracture different?
Unlike a simple “crack,” a lateral condyle fracture involves the growth plate and the joint surface. Because this area is under constant tension from the forearm muscles, these fractures are notorious for:
• Non-union: Failing to heal on their own.
• Mal-union: Healing at an angle that causes future elbow deformity (Cubitus Valgus).
• Growth Disturbance: Affecting the long-term development of the arm.
⚖️ When is Surgery Necessary?
While minor hairline shifts can sometimes be managed in a cast, surgery is often the “Gold Standard” for adolescents when:
1. Displacement is >2mm: Even a tiny gap can prevent the bone from knitting back together.
2. Joint Instability: Ensuring the elbow surface is perfectly smooth to prevent early-onset arthritis.
3. Rotation: If the bone fragment has twisted, it won’t heal without internal fixation.
🛠️ The Fix: Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF)
Using precision imaging, we realign the bone and secure it—usually with specialized pins or screws. This ensures the growth plate is protected and the teen can get back to sports with full range of motion.
📍 Trusted Orthopedic Care In Gorakhpur
If your teen has suffered an elbow injury at during a game at, don’t wait for the swelling to “just go down.” Expert assessment is key to preventing lifelong complications.

🩺 Relieving Chronic Nerve Pain: A Case Study
Age is just a number, but chronic back pain can make it feel like a heavy burden. Today, we’re sharing a look behind the scenes of a Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection (TFESI) performed for a 70-year-old patient struggling with severe radiculopathy (sciatica).
🔍 The Diagnostics
In this video, you’ll first see the MRI findings. Note the significant foraminal stenosis—where the "exit tunnels" for the nerves have narrowed due to age-related changes, causing that sharp, radiating leg pain.
💉 The Procedure
Watch the transition to the live X-ray (Fluoroscopy). Precision is everything. You’ll see:
* Needle Placement: Carefully navigating to the specific nerve root level.
* Contrast Dye Flow: Confirming we are in the "sweet spot" to ensure the medication reaches the inflamed nerve directly.
* The Goal: Reducing inflammation and "extinguishing" the pain at its source.
Why TFESI?
Unlike standard injections, the transforaminal approach allows us to deliver a concentrated dose of anti-inflammatory medication right where the nerve is being compressed. For our 70-year-old patient, this means a return to walking, gardening, and enjoying life without constant pain.
Modern medicine isn't just about adding years to life, but adding life to years. ✨

Restoring Grip & Function: A Complex Volar Barton’s Fracture Case 🩺🦴
Accidents happen in a split second, but the road to recovery requires precision. Recently, a patient presented with a Volar Barton’s Fracture—a complex intra-articular fracture-dislocation of the wrist that requires anatomical realignment to prevent long-term arthritis and loss of movement.
The Procedure: Dr. Pratik Kumar performed an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using a specialized Volar Locking Plate. This provides the "gold standard" of stability, allowing the patient to begin early range-of-motion exercises.
Swipe to see the transformation! ➡️
• Before: Displaced fracture fragment involving the joint surface.
• After: Perfect anatomical restoration and stable plating.
At our clinic, we don't just fix bones; we restore lifestyles. If you or a loved one has suffered a wrist injury, early intervention is the key to avoiding stiffness.

Precision in motion. 🩺✨
Successfully performed an excision of a rare tumor involving the peroneus longus tendon. While preoperative imaging provided a roadmap, the pathology confirmed a Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) of the Tendon Sheath.
GCT of the tendon sheath is a benign but locally aggressive growth. When it involves the peroneal tendons, it can cause persistent lateral ankle pain, swelling, and restricted mobility.
The Goal: Complete surgical resection to prevent recurrence while meticulously preserving the integrity of the tendon to ensure full functional recovery for the patient.
Always listen to your body—persistent swelling or localized pain shouldn’t be ignored!

Did your child’s elbow fracture heal incorrectly? Sometimes, complex childhood arm injuries—like a Monteggia fracture—can be missed or improperly managed initially. When the forearm bone heals while the elbow joint remains dislocated, it leads to a “malunion.”

For a growing child, this can cause:
❌ A visible bump or deformity
❌ Chronic pain while playing
❌ Stiffness and inability to fully bend or rotate the arm

At The Orthoderma Clinic, we specialize in correcting these complex pediatric malunions. Through precise corrective surgery (osteotomy) and careful joint reduction, we realign the bones, protect the growth plates, and help your child get back to a pain-free, active life! 💪✨

Fracture treatment is not just about applying plaster cast. Aim is restore the length, alignment and rotation. Even conservative treatment can have complications worse than surgery if not done correctly. Plaster application is an art. Get it right the first time and you can give the patients full recovery.
