Abstract
AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional results of surgical management of distal humerus fractures in adults involving the articular surface. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study of 30 cases of distal humerus fractures in adults involving the articular surface who are admitted to Guntur government hospital between November 2012 and September 2014.Cases were taken according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: In our study 30 cases were treated.25 were males and 5 patients were females.The mean age was 35 years.63.33% of the fractures were road traffic accidents and 36.67% were due to trivial fall with right side being more commonly affected.Riseborough and Radin Type 3 fractures accounted for 53.33% of cases and type 4 accounted for 46.67%. Out of 30 cases Excellent to Good results were seen in 80% of cases in our study according to Mayo Elbow score. CONCLUSION: From our study we conclude that for a successful internal fixation of distal humerus fractures,it is necessary to maintain anatomic and stable reconstruction of the articular surface and of both humeral columns using two parallel or 90-90° plates.
