Outcomes of ao/ota c-type fractures of the distal humerus after open reduction and internal fixation with locking plate constructs in patients at least 65 years old

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Fractures of the distal humerus in old adults are challenging due to poor bone quality and frequent fracture comminution. Nonsurgical treatment with cast immobilisation, also known as a "Bag of bones" treatment, has been used in elderly low-demand patients with acceptable outcomes considering the patient group. The current literature on outcomes after ORIF in older adults are largely patient series where non-locking plates have been used. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of ORIF of AO/OTA C-type (complete articular) distal humerus fractures treated exclusively with anatomic . . .
