Combined osteosynthesis use in treatment of a patient with comminuted intraarticular fracture of humeral condyle

Abstract

The work illustrates a clinical example of successful treatment in a patient with closed intraarticular transcondylar fracture of humerus. The special feature of operative treatment consisted in simultaneous use of the internal osteosynthesis with reconstructive and tubular for one-third plates and the transosseous osteosynthesis of humerus and forearm with the Ilizarov fixator. The aim of both technique use was to create the conditions for accurate reposition of articular surface, and to provide the stable fixation of fragments in the early postoperative period, as well as the graduated training of the elbow movements.
