Abstract:
The incidence of osteoporotic distal humeral fracture in the elderly is progressing in recent decade. Difficulty of reduction and poor internal fixation stability make osteoporotic distal humerus fractures become a challenging fracture type. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's condition and functional requirements. The authors discuss key questions in the treatment of osteoporotic distal humerus fracture in combination with current literatures and researches, so as to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
