Authors

Prospective cohort study compares outcomes of orthogonal and parallel plating in intra-articular fractures, indicating both techniques are viable.

Fracture union rates were similar at 95% for both plating techniques, suggesting effectiveness in treatment.
The mean Mayo Elbow Performance Score was higher in the parallel group at 89.6, indicating potential functional benefits.
Assessments were conducted through clinical and radiographic follow-ups at multiple intervals for comprehensive evaluation.
Implant-related complications were lower in the parallel group, pointing to its potential advantages in surgical outcomes.

Yasin et al. (2025) studied this question.
