DEFORMITY OF THE RADIUS PRODUCED BY AN ANEURYSM
Report of a Case
EDMOND R. ZAGLIO 1 and
M. H. HARRIS 1
1 Surgical Service Orthopaedic and Vascular Sections, Ashford General Hospital, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
The presence of this aneurysm, which produced uniform deformity of the radius, was not suspected prior to operation. From the case, the following conclusions may be drawn:
1. Uniform deformity of a comnminuted bone should make one suspect the presence of an aneurysm.
2. The deformity achieves maximum size almost immediately after injury.
3. The two lesions may be corrected successfully at the same time.
