open reduction and internal fixation of intraarticular fractures of the humerus: evaluation of 33 cases

چکیده
results excellent results were found in 69.7% (23 cases), very good reaults and good results were found in the remaining 30.3% (10 cases). three of 33 patients 9% (3 cases) presented postoperative complications. no patient exhibited symptoms of ulnar nerve injury following surgery. one patient had cubitusvarus deformities and one case had heterotopic ossification. one patient had mal:union: and one case had deep infection. background standard treatment of type c elbow fractures is open reduction and internal fixation using reconstruction plates and pins. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome following internal fixation of intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus (ao type c) with a minimum follow-up of three years. a retrospective evaluation was undertaken. patients and methods thirty-three patients (28 males, 5 females; mean age 34.3years) type c elbow fractures were treated and observed over a period of three years. six fractures were open and 27 closed; causes were falls (7 cases), traffic accidents (22 cases) and altercation (4 cases). all operations were performed using a posterior approach with an olecranon osteotomy. mean duration of follow-up was 18 months (range 6–36). mean duration of fracture healing was 2.3 months (range 2–4). functional outcomes were assessed by jupiter criteria. conclusions complications were minimal and outcomes were satisfactory in patients with type c distal humerus fractures who underwent bilateral plate fixation via a posterior approach.

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 کاملOpen Reduction and Internal Fixation of Distal Humerus Fractures
The goal in the management of distal humerus fractures is to obtain rigid internal fixation that allows immediate rehabilitation of the extremity. The advent of anatomic plating systems as well a systematic approach to these injuries facilitates these goals. This article outlines our approach to these complex problems from injury through rehabilitation.
متن کاملOpen reduction internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures.
The treatment of proximal humerus fractures continues to evolve. While the many of these injuries can be managed nonoperatively, a certain percentage require operative treatment. Open reduction internal fixation can offer excellent outcomes when performed in the appropriate patient and utilizing proper techniques. This article reviews the most up-to-date literature regarding all phases of proxi...
