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

Abstract

Background: Distal humerus Fractures account for about 0.5 -2% of all adult fractures out of which a significant percentage (50 -70%) of patients present with intra articular and inter condylar involvement; thereby posing operative challenges to the surgeon. An attempt has been made in this study to evaluate the radiological and functional outcome of distal humerus fractures treated with bi columnar fixation. Materials and Methods: Our study consists of 20 post traumatic distal humerus fracture AO type C operated at
