Article Synopsis
- The use of dual pre-contoured plates is recognized as the standard treatment for distal humerus fractures, but challenges remain with complex cases.
- A new method employing K-wires and a small reconstruction plate was tested to enhance stabilization in these difficult fractures.
- Biomechanical testing showed that using 2 mm K-wires led to significantly greater stiffness and stability compared to smaller K-wires, suggesting this technique may be an effective alternative for challenging distal humerus injuries.
Distal humerus fractures commonly occur in adults with low bone mineral density causing major technical challenges for orthopedic surgeons. Persian fixation method was introduced as a novel technique to stabilize small fragments in comminuted distal humerus fractures using a set of K-wires and a reconstruction plate. The present study aims to measure this technique's stiffness and stability of this technique and analyze the effect of influential parameters with numerical simulation and biomechanical testing on a cadaveric specimen.
