Background: Intercondylar humeral fracture is one of the commonest & challenging fractures of young adult and counts for about 30% of all elbow fractures. Aim: Evaluation of two groups of patients, group 1 and group 2 managed by double plates and group B by Y plate Materials and Methods: This Prospective study was conducted on 44 patients, Group 1 22 patient and Group 2 22 patient. The study included patients aged between 16-59 years with intercondylar humeral fracture type C according to AO classification while patients with compound fractures, osteoporotic bone, pathological fractures, and patients aging less than 16 years and more than 59 years were excluded. Follow up at 3 and 6 months. Results: Range of movement after 3 & 6 months was 84±31 and 98±35 respectively in group 1 which was relatively high compared to 48±25 and 71±21 respectively in group 2. MAYO Elbow Performance Score after 3 & 6 months was 71±21 and 82±23 respectively in group 1 which was relatively high compared to 48±14 and 73±12 respectively in group 2.
