Outcomes after Open Reduction and Plate Fixation of Distal Humerus Fractures.

Background: Distal humerus fractures (DHFs) have been a serious challenge since the beginning of surgery. The outcome of surgical treatment of a DHF should not only be assessed with clinical ratings. It is also important to take into account the patient's subjective evaluation of limb function.

Assessment of Outcomes of Treatment of Fractures of Distal Femur with a Locking Plate Taking into Account Factors Influencing the Result.

Background: The aim of this paper is to evaluate the results of treatment of distal femoral fractures (DFF) fixed with locking plates and analysis of factors that influence the final outcome.

Material And Methods: The patients were treated at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Military Medical Institute in Warsaw, and the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, 4th Military Research Hospital in Wroclaw. We analysed 39 patients with 42 fractures of the distal femur.

Outcomes for high-energy distal femur articular fractures.

Background: Distal femur fractures are relatively rare injuries that usually require surgical treatment. Angular-stable plates allowing for anatomical repositioning and stable fixation of splinters, particularly in articular fractures, are commonly used in such cases. The goal of the study was to analyze the outcomes of the surgical treatment of high-energy articular fractures of distal femur.
