Modified application of distal medial tibial locking plate as an alternative for fixation of an extraarticular distal-third diaphyseal humerus fracture

摘要

Surgical management of Extraarticular Distal-third diaphyseal Humerus Fracture (EADHF) poses a dilemma in terms of surgical approach, implant selection and position of the implant due to the availability of various pre-contoured implants and plate configurations. Various studies have described a modified application of anatomic locking plates as a satisfactory method of fixation in the surgical management of EADHF.
