Supracondylar intercondylar distal femur fractures are devastating injuries that frequently have a concurrent coronal plane fracture, which mandates dedicated operative fixation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether small-fragment cortical lag screws oriented in the sagittal plane were sufficient to stabilize coronal plane fractures associated with supracondylar intercondylar dist...

RATIONALE Intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus is an extremely rare injury in children, especially in those under 8 years of age. To our best knowledge, there have been 55 reported cases of this fracture type in children in the English literature, 12 of which involved children under 8 years of age. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus in a7...

t-condylar fracture of distal humerus in young children is very rare. pure physeal fractures of the olecranon are also rare. we report on an extremely rare case of concomitant ulecranon fracture, ipsilateral segmental humerus and intercondylar humerus fracture (type iii) in a skeletally immature patient.

T-condylar fracture of distal humerus in young children is very rare. Pure physeal fractures of the olecranon are also rare. We report on an extremely rare case of concomitant ulecranon fracture, ipsilateral segmental humerus and intercondylar humerus fracture (type III) in a skeletally immature patient.

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...

BACKGROUND Isolated coronal plane fractures of the distal femoral condyles (Hoffa fractures) occur uncommonly, are difficult to diagnose, and may be challenging to treat. The combination of supracondylar distal femoral fractures and these coronal plane fractures is thought to occur rarely. The purposes of the present study were to identify the frequency of the association between supracondylar-...

T-type intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus are rare injuries in skeletally immature patients. Few studies are available to guide the treatment of these injuries. Small case series and expert recommendations suggest superiority of the open approach for direct reduction of the articular surface. This approach poses risks of vascular compromise and elbow stiffness. However, success with ...

objective: to evaluate and report the functional results of surgical management of intercondylar fractures of the humerus in adults using a novel dual plating technique. methods: a total number of 60 patients with riseborough and radin type ii, iii, and iv intercondylar humerus fractures were operated with open reduction through a trans-olecranon approach and internal fixation using two plates ...

BACKGROUND Principles for the treatment of tibial intercondylar eminence fracture are early reduction and stable fixation. Numerous ways to treatment of this fracture have been invented. We designed a simple, low-invasive, and arthroscopic surgical strategy for tibial intercondylar eminence fracture utilizing the Meniscal Viper Repair System used for arthroscopic meniscal suture. METHODS We s...
