A Comminuted Spiral Fracture with Butterfly Fragment of Distal Humerus by Arm Wrestling -A Case Report- [PDF]
The fracture of the humerus during arm wrestling are uncommon, but may occur in the shaft or medial condyle. In the shaft of humerus, the fractures are usually spiral and between the middle and distal third, with or without neurological involvement.

To evaluate the outcome of posterolateral plate in distal humerus fracture
Background: Extra-articular distal humerus fracture accounts for approximately 16% of humerus fractures and 3% of all fractures in adults. There is good evidence that the overall incidence of distal humerus fractures is increasing worldwide.

Introduction: Distal humerus fractures accounts for 2-6% of all fractures and 1/3 of all humerus fractures. Intra-articular fractures of distal humerus are very rare accounting for 0.5% of all fractures.

Distal humerus fracture and its surgical management with distal humerus dual plating
Background: Approximately 7% of all adult fractures involve the elbow. Out of these, approximately 1/3 involve the distal humerus. These fractures have bimodal age distribution with peak incidences between the age 12 and 19 years and aged more than 80 ...

Objectives: In intraarticular distal humerus fractures, internal fixation with double plates is the gold standard treatment. However the optimal plate configuration is not clear in the literature.

UK DRAFFT : a randomised controlled trial of percutaneous fixation with kirschner wires versus volar locking-plate fixation in the treatment of adult patients with a dorsally displaced fracture of the distal radius [PDF]
Background: Fractures of the distal radius are extremely common injuries in adults. However, the optimal management remains controversial. In general, fractures of the distal radius are treated non-operatively if the bone fragments can be held in ...

Outcomes Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation for Distal Humerus Fracture: Does Handedness Matter? [PDF]
Introduction: No studies have assessed the relationship between extremity dominance and distal humerus fractures. This study sought to compare post-operative outcomes between patients with distal humerus fractures treated by open reduction and internal ...

An innovative fixation technique for pediatric bi-epicondylar avulsion fracture of humerus
Bi-epicondylar avulsion fracture of the distal humerus is a rare injury and poses challenges for treating orthopaedic surgeons. We present a case of 11-year-old boy who presented with bi-epicondylar avulsion fractures of the distal humerus that was ...

Proximal humeral fractures with a severe varus deformity treated by fixation with a locking plate [PDF]
We treated 47 patients with a mean age of 57 years (22 to 88) who had a proximal humeral fracture in which there was a severe varus deformity, using a standard operative protocol of anatomical reduction, fixation with a locking plate and supplementation ...
