Current concepts review - fractures of the shaft of the humerus.
Fractures of the shaft of the humerus are common injuries. Historically, the treatment of choice has been functional bracing. Recent technical advances such as angular stable plate and nail constructs lead to a shift in the treatment algorithm for this type of fracture. Surgical treatment is recommended in high grade open fractures, multilevel injury, polytrauma patients, nerve and serious vasc...
متن کاملDistal Humeral Fractures-Current Concepts
Background Distal humerus fractures constitute 2% of all fractures in the adult population. Although historically, these injuries have been treated non-operatively, advances in implant design and surgical technique have led to improved outcomes following operative fixation. Methods A literature search was performed and the authors' personal experiences are reported. Results This review has ...
متن کاملDistal radius fractures: current concepts.
Despite the frequency of distal radius fractures, the optimal treatment remains without consensus opinion. A trend toward increased distal radius fracture open reduction and internal fixation has been identified, with biomechanical and clinical studies suggesting treatment advantages of certain fixation methods over others. Well-controlled patient trials are still missing to lend objective find...
متن کاملDistal femoral fractures: current concepts.
The diversity of surgical options for the management of distal femoral fractures reflects the challenges inherent in these injuries. These fractures are frequently comminuted and intra-articular, and they often involve osteoporotic bone, which makes it difficult to reduce and hold them while maintaining joint function and overall limb alignment. Surgery has become the standard of care for displ...
متن کاملCoronal plane partial articular fractures of the distal humerus: current concepts in management.
Partial articular fractures of the distal humerus commonly involve the capitellum and may extend medially to involve the trochlea. As the complex nature of capitellar fractures has become better appreciated, treatment options have evolved from closed reduction and immobilization and fragment excision to a preference for open reduction and internal fixation. The latter is now recommended to achi...
