Intra-articular distal humerus fractures present a challenge
to orthopaedic surgeons. Stable fixation is difficult to achieve in fractures
with articular and metaphyseal comminution and osteoporotic bone.
Locking plates have
become an important category to trauma surgeons because they tend to impart a
higher degree of stability and improved protection against primary and
secondary losses of reduction when compared to conventional plates.
High stability; protection against primary and secondary
losses of reduction; limited plate contact with periosteum; reliable purchase
in normal and osteoporotic bone. Screws positioned according to fracture
pattern or to avoid another implant; plate positioned to meet needs of patient
anatomy.
