Distal Humerus Fractures

We describe a muscle sparing approach in which the triceps is elevated without injuring the muscle or disturbing its insertion. The entire extensor mechanism is preserved in continuity, thus preventing any extensor weakness. This can be used preferentially in cases of non-union intraarticular distal humerus fractures planned for Total Elbow Arthroplasty.

Chronic Elbow Dislocation

Distal humerus fracture with concomitant chronic elbow dislocation is difficult to manage by open reduction and internal fixation, while total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is an effective treatment for acute fracture or failed internal fixation of distal humerus fracture in elderly patients with osteoporosis. We present a case of an 86-year-old woman who suffered from acute distal humerus fracture in the presence of chronic elbow deformity from elbow dislocation since childhood at the age of 10 years. This was treated with TEA using Coonrad/Morrey prosthesis with long stem and long flange humerus components and cerclage wiring of humeral condyle. Postoperatively, elbow mobilization was started early within a hinged elbow brace. There was no operative complication. At the last follow-up 22 months after surgery, there was no pain and good elbow motion (20–130° flexion–extension arc, full supination and pronation to neutral) was obtained. The Mayo Elbow Performance Score was 100. There was incorporation of the bone graft at the anterior flange with no radiographic loosening of the prosthesis. This case shows that TEA can yield a gratifying clinical result and efficiently resolves two problems with one solution.
