Comparison of LC-DCP versus LCP for Internal Fixation of Humeral Shaft Fractures in Elderly Patient: Chang Yong Hur, Won Yong Shon, Jun Gyu Moon, Sang Hwan Han, Jae Young Hong, Sung Kang Chun; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(3):246-251. Published online July 31, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2007.20.3.246

PURPOSE
To compare outcomes of humeral shaft fractures fixed with locking compression plate and those fixed with dynamic compression plate in elderly patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Nineteen consecutive elderly patients with a fracture of the humeral diaphysis were evaluated retrospectively. Ten patients had been fixed with LC-DCP, and nine had been fixed with LCP. Radiological and clinical results were compared and comparison of implants was done.
RESULTS
Loosening of the plate occurred in one case each from the LCP group and the LC-DCP group. The rest of the patients achieved union uneventfully without any complications. Union rate, clinical score and hardware were not significantly different between the two groups. One patient who developed loosening in the LC DCP underwent reoperation whereas one patient with loosening in the LCP was successfully managed conservatively.
CONCLUSION
Principle of fracture fixation was more important than plate selection in humeral shaft fracture of elderly patient.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the outcomes of minimal anterior approach and thumb assisted technique, in children with Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fracture, who were operated by this technique.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Forty two children with Gartland type III supracondylar fractures of the humerus with severe swelling were taken up for minimal open reduction and K-wire fixation. The technique used was a minimal incision in the cubital fossa and thumb assisted reduction of the fracture. Stabilization of fractures was done with 1.6 mm Kirschner wires.
RESULTS
The outcomes were excellent in 40 cases good in 2 cases. No complications including malunion or scar contracture were seen.
CONCLUSION
This technique is safe, effective and can be used for irreducible, displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
