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 کاملInternal fixation versus arthroplasty of comminuted fractures of the distal humerus.
BACKGROUND A comminuted distal humerus fracture in an older patient is a difficult clinical problem. Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) carries the risks of nonunion, loss of fixation, infection, and stiffness. Arthroplasty carries the risks of loosening, infection, and periprosthetic fracture. Both procedures are technically challenging, and complications following these procedures are fr...
