Complex Articular Fractures of the Distal Humerus. Recommendations to Optimize Outcomes and Reduce Complications
Abstract
Complex articular fractures of the distal humerus represent a real challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The complexity of the anatomy, fracture patterns, the presence of multiple fragments, and low bone density in the elderly represent some difficulties to address. The relatively low frequency of these fractures directly undermines training and systematization of the surgical procedure and therefore has an impact on the final functional outcome and complication rate. The aim of this article is to provide practical tools to the novel surgeon, through the review of the literature and the author´s experience, to reduce complications and optimize the treatment of these fractures.Downloads
