Distal Humerus Fractures

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The primary goal in management of intra articular fractures of distal humerus is to achieve stable and mobile elbow. Type C fracture of distal humerus is a relatively uncommon fracture. Internal fixation is difficult but anatomical reduction is needed to prevent poor functional outcome and degenerative changes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Functional outcome of patients who underwent open reduction internal fixation with locking compression plates for intra articular fractures of distal humerus at the department of orthopedics, Government medical college Kottayam, from December 2017 to July 2019, were assessed using Mayo elbow performance index. A total of 30 patients were studied.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Excellent and good results were found in 25 cases, 3 patients had fair outcome and 2 patients had poor result. Complications encountered in our study were, infection (superficial treated with antibiotics-3 cases), heterotopic ossification (3 cases), hard ware prominence (2 cases) and non-union (1 case).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Complications were minimal and outcomes were good in patients with type C distal humerus fractures who underwent bicolumn locking compression plates fixation by posterior approach.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Background: Supracondylar fracture of the distal humerus is one of the commonest fracture in pediatric age group. Though there is consensus of treating type III fracture operatively, no study has compared the outcome between Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning (CRPP) and Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) with k-wire in our setup. Materials and Methods: Retrospective comparison study was done on eighty seven cases of Type III supracondylar fracture of distal humerus underwent operative procedure. Fifty four (54) cases underwent CRPP and 33 cases were managed with ORIF with k-wire, and they were followed up till 6 months post-operatively. Results : The mean time for radiological union in patient who underwent CRPP was 4.37±0.94 weeks and that for the patient who underwent ORIF was 4.45±0.13 weeks, the difference of which was statistically insignificant (p-value >0.05). 83.3% of CRPP group and 78.8% in ORIF group had excellent functional outcome and only 3% in ORIF group had poor functional outcome. Conclusion: Though both the group don’t have significant advantage of functional outcome among each other CRPP with limited attempt should be preferred to ORIF with k-wire for the advantage of avoiding surgical scar and reducing surgery time and exposure to anaesthetic agents.
