Methods: At Uludag University Faculty of Medicine Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, hetween 1995 and 2002, the results of 20 cases were evaluated in patients with intra-articular comminuted distal humer- alfractures, who had been treated by open reduction and internaljıxation.
Results: Eleven (55%) cases were male, nine (45%) werefemale and mean age was 40.6 (range; 18 to 76). All fractures were C3 type according to AO/ASIF classifıcation. Eight (40%) cases were openfractures and of these, six ( 30% ) were type 3A and 2 ( 1 0% ) were type 3B on the Gustilo-Anderson classifıcation. All the fractures were jıxed with dual plate after open reduction. In 25% ~f the cases, superficial wound infection was observed and in 5% heterotopic ossification.
Conclusion: In adult distal humeral. fractures of type C3, stabilization by dual plate, following open reduction and early commencement of joint movements, hasfewer complications and should he the preferred method of treatment.
Key W ords: Distal humeral, fracture, intra-articular, dual plate. fixation.
