Follow-up on this:
Not too much in the way of responses – I guess I can assume people are in
the same boat as me and haven’t seen this before.
Dr Umans suggested ultrasounding the medial tendons and thought perhaps
there was a retinacular injury/stripping and subluxation of the FDL tendon,
with lack of oedema suggesting chronicity. Correctly pointed out the acute
deltoid injury which I neglected to illustrate.
Yes, the kid does have medial pain.
Dr Chhabra also thought this was an acquired lesion rather than
developmental.
I asked the orthopod if he wouldn’t mind ordering a scan of the other side
but I won’t be holding my breath.
