Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The management of distal humeral fractures has evolved over the last few years. Various modalities of treatment are non surgical and surgical methods. In this study we compared single extra articular humerus plating and bipillar plating for distal humerus fracture. Aim and objective: To compare single extra articular humerus plating and bipillar plating for distal humerus fracture at tertiary health care centre Methodology: Total 60 patients with distal humerus fracture visiting orthopaedics department of a tertiary care center were included in the study. Patients were grouped into two groups. Group A included humerus fracture treated with single extra articular plating and Group B included patients treated by bipillar plating. Outcome was compared in both the groups with respect to duration of surgery, total blood loss and clinical improvement. Results and discussion: Both the groups were comparable with respect to age and sex (P value >0.05). Mean duration of surgery and Mean operative blood loss was significantly less in Group A than Group B (P<0.05). Mayo Elbow Performance Score, excellent score was seen in 29 patients from group.Radial nerve injury was not observed in any patient.
