Complex Distal Humerus Fracture in Pediatric Patient
Case description
Dr. Alejandro Badia presents Complex Distal Humerus Fracture in Pediatric Patient.
Severe comminution, bone loss, and osteopenia at the site of a distal humeral fracture increase the risk of an unsatisfactory result, often secondary to inadequate fixation. 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. The early stability achieved with this technique permits intensive rehabilitation to restore elbow motion.
