Abstract
Fracture of the distal humerus are complex and challenging injuries to treat. In this study we used distal humeral posterolateral LCP system, which is an anatomically shaped angular stable system. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinical outcome after ORIF with posterolateral LCP plate. [b]METHODS[/b]: 24 Consecutive patients with distal humerus fractures treated with posterolateral LCP between October 2010 to December 2014. 20 patients had complete follow up of 20 months, patients evaluated both clinically & radiologically & VAS & DASH score were used. [b]RESULTS[/b]: All patients except 4 regained full range of movements, 2 patients lost 5° of extension & 1 patient 10° of extension. No loss of flexion in any patient. One patient had failed fixation who had stated early manual labour.
