Overview

Randomized trial examines outcomes of fracture treatment in a patient with a functional pseudoarticulation, suggesting surgical approaches may adapt to existing conditions.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation of a distal humeral fracture in the presence of a functional pseudoarticulation.
  • Open reduction and internal fixation performed using a variable-angle locking plate on a displaced distal humeral fracture.
  • Pre-existing condition of a pseudoarticulation was intentionally left untreated.
  • Patient followed up for functional assessment after the procedure.
  • Patient regained pre-injury functional baseline after surgery with no complications nor functional loss reported.
