Plate selection for fixation of extra-articular distal humerus fractures: A biomechanical comparison of three different implants

摘要

Operative fixation of extra-articular distal humerus using a single posterolateral column plate has been described but the biomechanical properties or limits of this technique is undefined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of distal humerus fracture fixation using three standard fixation constructs.
