PARALLEL PLATE FIXATION FOR DISTAL HUMERUS FRACTURE – A CASE REPORT
Dr. Vaishak B, Dr. Srinivasan
Abstract :
Distal humerus intercondylar fractures are intra–articular, comminuted fractures involving soft tissue injury.1 These fractures present therapeutic challenges due to the complexity of the local anatomy and are generally treated surgically with parallel or orthogonal plate fixation of the medial and lateral columns. Olecranon osteotomy is regarded as the gold standard technique, because it best exposes articular discrepancies; however, even comminuted fractures can reportedly be anatomically reduced and fixed using paratricipital incisions.2 The locking compression plate system produces high–quality reconstructions and sufficient stability, thereby enabling early mobilization for distal humerus fractures3 . Complications include loss of reduction, implant failure, nonunion, malunion, ulnar nerve neuropathy, elbow stiffness, and heterotopic ossification.4 In general, the standard management for most intra–articular fractures is anatomic restoration of the articular surface and stable fixation, followed by early mobilization.
