Open reduction and internal fixation combined with hinged elbow fixator in capitellum and trochlea fractures.

摘要

We read with interest the article by Giannicola et al. (2010) and commend authors for their work. Coronal shear fractures of distal humerus have received much attention in recent years (Giannicola et al. 2010) and the consensus of treatment has been open reduction and internal fixation. We also experienced good results with these fractures after internal fixation and agree with literature that early mobilization after a stable fixation is the key to good functional results (Dubberley et al. 2006, Mighell et al. 2006, Ruchelsman et al. 2008, Singh et al. 2009, Ashwood et al. 2010).
