چکیده
: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcome of intra-articular distal humerus fractures treated with locking compression plates. A total number 25 patients intraarticular humerus, from March 2021 to September 2022 were enrolled in study. All subjected relevant investigations after which taken up for surgical fixation fracture bicolumnar plates applied orthogonal configuration through a posterior transolecranon approach.

Intra-articular distal humerus fractures.
Distal humeral fractures are relatively rare and complex injuries. With appropriate preoperative planning and execution of surgical technique, good outcomes may be obtained in most patients. Patients should be counseled regarding loss of motion in these injuries, and elderly, osteoporotic patients with extensive comminution should be considered for total elbow arthroplasty as an alternative to ...
متن کاملOutcome of distal end clavicle fractures treated with locking plates
PURPOSE Fractures of the lateral end of the clavicle are relatively uncommon. These fractures are unstable due to the various deforming forces which act on the fragments as well as the small distal fracture fragment. At most times the deforming forces are not taken into consideration, and the fracture is not fixed securely. In this study, we assessed a fixation technique using the precontoured ...
متن کاملFunctional Results of Unstable (Type 2) Distal Clavicle Fractures Treated with Superior Anterior Locking Plate
Background: The treatment of distal clavicle fracture is always a challenge, as it is mostly unstable and has higherrate of delayed union, malunion, non-union and associated acromioclavicular arthritis. So the management of thesefractures remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional results of Type 2 distal endclavicle fractures treated with superior anterior l...
متن کاملAre intra-articular distal radius fractures best managed with volar locking plates or bridging external fixation?
Introduction Distal radius fractures are the sixth most commonly occurring fracture. Controversy surrounds the optimal method of fixation with both volar locking plate and bridging external fixation being advocated. This systematic review aims to compare these techniques in the treatment of intra-articular fractures. Materials and methods The electronic databases Medline and EMBASE were searche...
متن کاملFunctional outcome of operatively treated displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures using two parallel contoured reconstruction plates.
INTRODUCTION The treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture is controversial. Conventionally, they were treated non-operatively. However, some surgeons are now operatively treating these fractures because of continuing dissatisfaction with the outcome of conservative treatment of these fractures and improvements that have occurred in surgical techniques and complication rates. ...
