A Pitfall in Fixation of Distal Humeral Fractures with Pre-Contoured Locking Compression Plate
Anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. The distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...
متن کاملOutcome of precontoured locking plate fixation in distal humerus fractures
Aim: Outcome of precontoured locking plates fixation in Distal Humerus Fractures. Material and methods: Twenty-five patients with distal humerus fractures were treated with ORIF with pre-contoured locking plates. There were 16 males, 9 females, with an average age of 42.8 years (2159years). As per the AO classification performance score, the results obtained were graded as excellent or good res...
متن کاملIntra-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 کاملTips and Techniques- Surgical Fixation of Extra-articular Distal Humerus Fractures with a Posterolateral Locking Compression Plate (LCP)
The appropriate treatment of extraarticular distal humerus fractures is controversial. While functional bracing has been shown to result in good outcomes, some surgeons continue to favor operative fixation. Specifically, they cite concerns of radial nerve injury, difficulty in controlling fracture alignment, and long-term elbow stiffness with bracing. Jawa et al compared functional bracing with...
