Functional outcome of type 13 C2 distal humerus fractures treated with precontoured locking plates
Background: Distal humerus fractures pose the most challenging task in treatment, which can lead to poor functional outcomes. Anatomic reduction and internal fixation, along with early mobilization, are predicted to improve the functional outcomes.
