It is a growing health problem in Asia, Central America, Africa, and the Middle East, with identified hotspots. CKDu disease mainly affects young men in rural farming communities, while its etiology is not related to hypertension, kidney stones, diabetes, or other known causes.

Distal humerus fractures, defined as interruptions of bone continuity below the insertion of the anterior brachial muscle, are relatively rare, representing 1 to 2% of all fractures. These fractures display a bimodal distribution, predominantly affecting young men (12-19 years old) due to violent trauma and elderly women (>80 years old) due to low-energy trauma associated with osteoporosis. This study aims to present the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic outcomes of distal humerus fractures in subjects over 65 years.
