A prospective study of functional outcome in intraraticular lower end of humerus fracture treated with dual plating

Abstract

Context: It has been suggested that, with appropriate instruction and practice by the individual and normalization of the reaching distances, the SEBT can be used to provide objective measures to differentiate deficits and improvements in dynamic postural-control related to lower extremity injury and induced fatigue, and it has the potential to predict lower extremity injury. However, literature on its role in assessing proprioception deficits in anterior cruciate ligament deficient knees is limited. Objective: To provide a narrative review of the SEBT and its implementation and the known contributions to task performance and to systematically review the associated literature to address the SEBT's usefulness as a clinical tool for the quantification of dynamic postural-control deficits from anterior cruciate ligament deficiency.

A prospective study of functional outcome in intra articular distal humerus fracture treated with dual plating

“…Due to the characteristic intra articular involvement, displacement, and poor control of fracture fragments with closed treatment, we typically treat these fractures operatively. The goal of treatment is restoring painless and functional elbow in a fractured distal humerus which requires anatomical reconstruction and stable fixation [3] . In our study most of distal humerus fractures are intra articular and involve both the medial and lateral columns.…”

“…Pre-contoured column specific locking plates useful in osteoporotic bone fixation [3] . Several variables are important in successful management of these fractures: restoration of articular congruity, secure bony fixation, achievement of bony healing, maintenance of a functional range of motion, and avoidance of complications such as hypertrophic ossification and ulnar neuropathy [3] .…”

“…Several variables are important in successful management of these fractures: restoration of articular congruity, secure bony fixation, achievement of bony healing, maintenance of a functional range of motion, and avoidance of complications such as hypertrophic ossification and ulnar neuropathy [3] . The aim of the study was to evaluate the intermediate term results (minimum follow up of two years) of communited intra-articular distal humerus fractures treated with bicolumnar plating with or without olecranon osteotomy in elderly Indian population.…”

Functional outcome of distal humerus fracture in adults followed with bicolumnar fixation: A prospective study

“…Riyaz sheik et al [16] , Shao-hua Li et al (2011) [18] and Imran mang et al (2014) [19] in their studies found that fractures occured more likely due to high velocity RTA which is in accordance with our study. Kiran GU et al (2017) [20] in their study found that average time of fracture union was achieved in 16.4 weeks in 20 patients, Muzaffar N et al (2014) [21] in their study found that fracture united in 25 patients by 10-16 weeks with an average time of 12.56 weeks. These are consistent with with our findings; wherein fracture union was achieved in an average time of 15 weeks.…”

Operative Management of Intra-Articular Fractures of Distal Humerus in Adult

“…The decision of operative treatment is based on many factors, including fracture types, intra-articular involvement, fragments displacement, bone quality, joint stability and soft tissue condition and coverage 10 . The aims of treatment in these fractures are restoring painless and functional elbow which is achieved by anatomical reconstruction and stable fixation 11 . Pre-operatively patients must understand outcome expectation and importance of rehabilitation.…”
