Determine the Functional Outcome of Locking Plates in Distal Humerus Fracture Cases

Abstract

There were difficulties treating DHF due to nearby neurovascular structures and little soft tissue covering, according to research. Thus, the technique is difficult and prone to problems. Thus, our study examined FO in DHF (type 13 C2) patients treated with LP. We took a thorough history that included routine investigations, radiographs, and local and systemic exams. Surgery included O.R. and I.F. with L.P. under G.A. or B.P.B. Routine antibiotics and analgesics, radiography, follow-up, and evaluation of pre-OP, intra-OP, immediate, and late problems are all part of post-OP treatment.There is an increase in the incidence of these injuries among the younger population due to the higher incidence of RTA. The incidence of open fractures in our study group was 10%. One of our patients, who at the time of presentation had a compound injury, was treated with initial wound debridement and plating. Based on our analysis, we can say that the study had a good FO when it dealt with DHF (AO type 13 C2) by using open reduction and stabilization with LP. Also, getting a stable fixation of the fracture and doing active physiotherapy have been shown to lead to better functional outcomes in people with DHF (type 13C2).
