2
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA facts distal humerus fractures remain one of the most demanding challenges in orthopedic and trauma surgery (Korner, J Orthop Trauma 2004, Soon, Injury 2004) distal humerus fractures in adults are rare (2-6% of all fractures) unsatisfactory results in 20% (Jupiter and Morrey, 1993)
3
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA solution... every senior trauma and orthopedic surgeon should know to treat basics of these fractures and should know and respect his limits every big trauma center needs some monomaniacs

Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA † dr.Korošec Branko
5
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA treatment of articular fractures (we know everything)...anatomical reduction and stable fixation metaphyseal defects should be grafted to prevent articular displacement metaphyseal and diaphyseal displacement should be reduced to prevent joint overloading immediate motion (AO, Shatzker 1987)
6
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA easy to say, difficult to realize small bone fragments a lot of elderly people with osteopenic bone difficult approach elbow joint hates even short immobilization long lever arms

Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA do not be afraid of ulnar nerve
30
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA ulnar nerve identification is necessary complete visualization and transposition only if necessary
31
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA postop active exercise under the control a soon as possible
32
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA complications stiffness: arthrolysis, salvage procedures non union: refixation, TEP infection ulnar nerve paresis: revisions
33
Dpt. Of Traumatology KC LJUBLJANA conclusions respect the fracture and your limits olecranon osteotomy for C type fractures 3.5 mm reco plates golden standard LC 3.5mm reco plates, 1/3 tubular plates and precontoured plates identify ulnar nerve stable fixation mandatory endoprosthesis as an option
