Modified 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...
متن کاملPosteromedial 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 کاملA COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LATERAL APPROACH VERSUS P OSTERIOR APPROACH FOR THE SURGICAL TRE ATMENT OF SUPRACONDYLAR FRACTURES OF THE HUMERUS IN CHILDREN
Background: Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the second most common fracture in children. For most cases closed reduction and percutaneous crossed pinning is recommended. Those patients who had previously undergone an unsuccessful closed reduction trial need open reduction and pin fixation, but the best surgical approach is questionable. Most surgeons apply the technique of posterio...
متن کاملPHILOS humerus plate for a distal tibial fracture
This report discusses the use of an alternative implant in the emergency fixation of a distal tibial fracture. We planned to fix the shear-type medial malleolar fracture in a closed, tri-malleolar fracture with a locking distal tibial plate. Intra-operatively, it was noted that the required plate was unavailable. A PHILOS humeral plate seemed to fit the contours of the distal tibia. The broad e...
متن کاملSurgical management of intercondylar fracture of distal humerus in adults by olecranon osteotomy
Intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus are uncommon injuries and present the most difficult challenge of the fracture of lower end of humerus. Restoration of the articular surface of distal humerus must be nearly perfect and sufficiently rigid to permit early mobilization of the elbow if the results is to be satisfactory. This is a prospective study of 20 cases of intercondylar fracture o...
