Prospective study of management of old # capitellum orif with screws fixation-a review of 8 cases treated by open reduction and internal fixations with screws
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Eight patients with displaced fractures of the humeral capitellum were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the capitellar fragments with Herbert/ 4mm cc screws. As per Bryan and Morrey classification, there were five type I fracture and three type II fracture evaluated using the Mayo elbow performance score. Follow up period till 1 year. All patients had a stable pain free elbow with acceptable range of motion at last follow up. There was no evidence of avascular necrosis or degenerative change.
