In the past 5 years we surgically treated 10 patients with distal humeral fracture. Of these patients 2 were male and 8 were female. The mean age of the patients was 76.1 years old (61-97). We classified the patients according to the AO classification system. Five of the patients had the AO Type A fractures and the remainder, AO Type C. We used a bilateral humeral approach for the Type A fractures and a transolecranon approach for the Type C fractures. We basically fixed the fracture with screws.
Clinical results were assessed by both JOA and Jupiter functional scales. Postoperatively, the mean JOA score was 84.4 and 9 of the patients ranked “Good” in Jupiter classification. It is important to fix the fractures stably with screws so that we can start ROM excersise in 2 or 3 weeks after the operation.
