HISTORY: The pаtient is аn 11-yeаr-оld male whо was riding his bicycle in frоnt of his home, hit a bump in the pavement, and fell off his bicycle. Because of severe wrist pain, he was taken to the emergency department, where x-rays confirmed displaced right distal ulna Salter-Harris type I fracture and right distal radius Salter-Harris type I fracture. The patient was seen by an orthopedic surgeon, who advised admission and a closed reduction of the fractures that was agreed to by the patient and his parents. OPERATIVE FINDINGS: The right wrist has a deformity with some expected level of swelling. His fingers are moving, and he is neurovascularly intact. The skin is intact. Contralateral wrist is nontender. Fingertips are pink with good capillary refill. Lower extremities are nontender. X-ray films have been reviewed, which reveal fractures of both the distal radius and distal ulna with 100 percent displacement. DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The patient was taken to the operating room and placed supine on the table with all of his extremities adequately padded. The patient was administered laryngeal mask anesthesia. A closed reduction was performed. The fractures were found to reduce. Fluoroscopy was used to view the fractures in multiplanar views. Given the nature of the fracture pattern, it was deemed appropriate to pin the radius to increase stability. Two K-wires were then placed percutaneously under direct fluoroscopic guidance across the fracture site. The growth plate was avoided. The fracture and pins were then visualized in multiplanar fluoroscopy, and the fracture and pins were noted to be in good position. The pins were bent and cut. Final films were obtained. Sterile dressings followed by a sugar tong type of splint were then applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well, was awakened in the operating room, and was taken to recovery. There were no complications of this procedure. Note: List all applicable codes excluding the External Cause codes. Principal Diagnosis: Secondary Diagnosis: Principal Procedure: Secondary Procedure:
