The operation was excellent in 10 cases, good in 12 cases, fair in 5 cases, bad in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 78.57%(22/28). Conclusion Treatment of humerus extremity comminuted fractures by double plates through olecranon osteotomy followed by early functional exercise are excellent with satisfactory functional recovery.
