[Surgical treatment of humerus condylar fracture]
Abstract:
55 patients with intra-articular condyles fractures of humerus were operated in terms 1998 to 2013 year in the Clinic of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Presidential Administration. All patients were operated by using of perosseous osteosynthesis method with external fixing device design A.I. Gorodnichenko. Indications for osteosynthesis were open and closed fractures of C1,2,3 types accordingly to AO Classification. Closed, atraumatic and reliable fixation of bone fragments intensifies patients faster, improves their life quality, decreases time of hospitalization and minimizes complications rate. Fractures consolidation was achieved in all cases. It was observed such complications as soft tissue inflammatory around shafts in 4 (7.3%) observations. Long-term results were studied in 51 (92.7%) patients including 9 (17.6%) patients with excellent results, 24 (47.1%) patients with good results and 18 (35.3%) patients with satisfactory results. It was not detected unsatisfactory results. The method permits early reconstructive treatment of patients and improves functional results in case of condyles fractures. This preserves active moving function of damaged elbow from the first day after operation and during all period of treatment.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
