Coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus managed according to the Modified Dubberley Classification System.

Background: Coronal shear fractures of the capitellum and trochlea are relatively uncommon and can be challenging to treat because of variable articular comminution and poor bone stock. Classification is valuable to help guide surgical decision making and prognosis. The aim of this study was to present a large series of coronal shear fractures treated according to the Modified Dubberley Classification System (MDCS).
