Primary Elbow Arthroplasty in the Management of Complex Distal Humerus Fractures

Primary Elbow Arthroplasty in the Management of Complex Distal Humerus Fractures

Complex distal humerus fractures pose significant challenges in orthopedic surgery, especially when traditional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is not feasible. Primary elbow arthroplasty has emerged as an alternative treatment option for these fractures, but its application remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes, patient selection criteria, and follow-up results of primary elbow arthroplasty in the management of complex distal humerus fractures.
