Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of open reduction and internal fixation for the intercondylar distal humeral fracture with double-plate fixation.Method:A total of 26 cases with intercondylar distal humeral fracture were treated with the double-plate fixation via olecroanon approach.According to the AO/ASIF classification,there were 3 cases with C1,19 cases with C2 and 4 cases with C3.Cassebaum numerical rating system was employed to evaluated postoperative function of the involved elbow.Results:The post-operative function in 26 cases was evaluated according to the Cassebaum numerical rating system,follow-up averaged 15 months,and the results were:excellent in 19 cases(65.4%);good in 9 cases(23.1%);fair in 2 cases(7.7%);poor in 1 case(3.8%).The excellent rate was 88.5%.Conclusion:Double-plate fixation is characterized by stable fixation,minor complication and high satisfaction,and hence is an effective method for intercondylar distal humeral fracture.
