Posteromedial approach to the distal humerus for fracture fixation.
The authors report their experience with the posteromedial surgical approach of the humeral shaft for internal fixation of fractures by plating. Sixteen patients were treated for humeral shaft fractures (14 for recent fractures and two for nonunion) below the mid-diaphysis, all without injury of the radial nerve. Patients were operated in the prone position. Plate and screw fixation on the medi...
متن کاملDISPLACED- COMMINUTED INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURES OF THE ADULT DISTAL HUMERUS: FUNCTIONAL RESULTS AFTER INTERNAL FIXATION
Background: Intra-articular T- type or Y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. The current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. Methods: In this prospective and retrospective study, we r...
متن کاملBicortical K-wires for distal radius fracture fixation: how many?
The aim of this study was to find out whether number and position of K-wires influence the stability of distal radius fractures treated by percutaneous wire fixation. Patients who underwent K-wire fixation for unstable fractures of the distal radius over a period of three years were included in this retrospective study. Radiographs taken immediately after the procedure and radiographs taken aft...
متن کاملTriangular Fixation Technique for Bicolumn Restoration in Treatment of Distal Humerus Intercondylar Fracture.
BACKGROUND Distal humerus intercondylar fractures are intra-articular and comminuted fractures involving soft tissue injury. As distal humerus is triangle-shaped, parallel plating coupled with articular fixation would be suitable for bicolumn restoration in treatment of distal humerus intercondylar fracture. METHODS This study included 38 patients (15 males and 23 females) who underwent olecr...
متن کاملModified Combined Approach for Distal Humerus Shaft Fracture: Anterolateral and Lateral Bimodal Approach
BACKGROUND Due to the anatomical nature of the radial nerve, dissection and attainment of an adequate operative field in mid to distal humerus fracture is dangerous and limited. We devised a combined anterolateral and lateral approach that ensures protection of the radial nerve. This is achieved by performing bimodal dissection of the proximal humerus anteriorly and the distal humerus laterally...
