Intraarticular distal humerus fractures occur in adolescents and represent a unique morphology that is amenable to different surgical techniques than adults or younger children, especially when one column remains intact. Despite articular involvement, minimally invasive approach utilizing the intact periosteum opposing of bone can often achieve successful reduction fixation. Here, we present an...

The incidence of Monteggia lesion is only 1 to 2% of all childhood forearm injuries and even less in adults [2]. Distal humerus intraarticular fractures constitute 0.5%-7% of all fractures and 30% of elbow fractures [3]. Monteggia lesion have been found to be associated with wrist lesions [1,4,5]. Wiley and Galey [1] & Arazi et al. [6] reported one case each of the ipsilateral supracondylar fra...

Nonunion of fractures of the olecranon fossa of the humerus presents a difficult surgical problem. The distal fragment is usually small and osteoporotic and stable fixation is not easy to achieve. We describe a modification of the technique of locked nailing by which the distal aspect of the nail is placed in the subchondral region of the trochlea. Good results were obtained in seven out of eig...

<p>Fractures in the distal third of humerus shaft usually are associated with complete or incomplete radial nerve lesions which may be caused due to traction, entrapment compression between bony fragments. We managed these patients by bridge plating using minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis. A total 5 were operated on and all showed full functional recovery nerve. Fractur...
