Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 16
Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal humerus fracture is one of the commonest fractures of young adult and elderly individuals. The treatment of these fractures continues to present challenges despite advances in internal fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 25 fresh patients of comminuted fracture of humerus from Jan 2012 to Jan 2017 were included in the study and were treated with orthogonal plating. These patients were followed at 3, 6, 12, 24 weeks and at 1 year of follow-up and assessed in terms of time for union, range of motion, MAYO score, DASH score and complication rate. RESULTS At final follow-up, Mayo score was 96.12± 04.96 from 4.80± 01.06 and DASH SCORE was 30.42± 2.04 which dropped from 150±05.24. Range of motion improved from 23.38 to 114.1 with 100% union rate and complications less than 17%. CONCLUSION 90 - 90 p
