Treatment of distal humerus fractures in the elderly.

For fractures that are judged intraoperatively not to be stable enough to commence early motion, the implementation of a short period of immobilization followed by early soft tissue release will avoid exposing the patient to the risk of nonunion, and result in a more predictable functional outcome.

Distal humerus fractures in elderly patients: results after open reduction and internal fixation

Open reduction and internal fixation of distal humerus fractures in elderly patients should be the main goal, since good elbow function can be achieved in the majority of patients.

Complex distal humeral fractures: internal fixation with a principle-based parallel-plate technique.

Stable fixation and a high rate of union of complex distal humeral fractures can be achieved when a principle-based surgical technique that maximizes fixation in the distal segments and stability at the supracondylar level is employed.

Open reduction and internal fixation of the distal humerus: functional outcome in the elderly.

Open reduction and internal fixation of the distal humerus in the elderly can provide good clinical results, however,Good clinical results do not imply good general health status.

The results of open reduction and internal fixation in elderly patients with severe fractures of the distal humerus: a critical analysis of the results.

Open reduction and internal fixation with appropriate surgical technique is effective in the treatment of displaced fractures of the distal humerus in elderly patients.

Operative treatment of type C intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus: results after a mean follow-up of 2 years in a series of 18 patients.

When stability of the humeral columns is achieved and the articular platform is reconstructed, satisfactory results can be obtained, even in comminuted supracondylar fractures, however, age over 50 years, poor bone quality, and open fracture are correlated with increased risk for an inferior postoperative result.
