Surgical exposures for bicolumn distal humeral fractures
1Thomas Jefferson University, Rothman Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
The surgical management of fractures of the distal humerus is technically challenging. The goal is to obtain adequate exposure without causing unnecessary morbidity, which can be achieved if the surgeon is familiar with several posterior approaches used to expose bicolumn distal humeral fractures. These approaches begin with a common medial dissection and branch into progressively more extensile exposures.
