Info

Outcomes In Type C <strong>Fractures</strong> • Outcomes proportional to energy type of fracture • Stiffness – Despite ORIF and optimal early ROM still can have 20-25° flexion contracture • Pain – 25% can have exertional pain • Strength – 75% of normal side
Challenges – Avoiding articular surfaces – Avoiding impingement of fossae – Capturing multiple small fragments – Cancellous bone – Achieving stable fixation to allow early ROM – Osteoporotic bone ORIF <strong>Distal</strong> Humerus
