Case report finds long-term results of shoulder surgery in complex elbow fractures, suggesting benefits despite challenges.
Distal humeral fractures can be complex injuries that pose significant challenges when considering treatment options, particularly in cases of severe comminution or poor bone quality. These fractures can vary greatly from patient to patient and require careful consideration when selecting the most appropriate treatment modality. Traditional surgical approaches, including open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and total elbow arthroplasty (TEA), have demonstrated effectiveness in specific patient populations; however, each comes with inherent limitations.
