Outcome after open reduction and angular stable internal fixation for supra-intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus: preliminary results with the LCP distal humerus system

摘要

Fractures of the distal humerus are complex injuries that can be effectively treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The new LCP distal humerus system allows angular stable fixation of these complex fractures with anatomically preshaped plates. The aim of the study was to evaluate operative reposition, fracture healing, and pain, function and patient satisfaction after open reduction with an angular stable fixation.
