| description | Material and methods. The authors studied 121 patients with intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus in age from 3 to 18 years. In the study group (consisted of 81 patients) the displacement of the distal fragment retained after a single unsuccessful reduction. In these children open reduction and fixation were performed. In cases of damaged neurovascular bundle the authors carried out revision and reconstruction of damaged nerve and vascular trunks. The control group consisted of 40 children who were treated conservatively (closed reposition). Follow-up was at least 6 months after discharge. Results. Evaluation of the functional results showed improvement in 67,0% of patients in the study group and 33,0% - in the control group. In study group a good anatomic result was achieved in 73 (90%) patients, satisfactory - in 6 (7,5%) and poor - in 2 (2,5%). In the control group a good anatomical results were obtained in 7 (17,5%) patients, satisfactory - in 14 (35%), poor -in 19 (47,5%). Conclusion. Indications for surgical treatment: secondary displacement of bone fragments after a single failure or closed reduction. Elimination of fragment displacement prevents posttraumatic contractures and deformities of the upper extremity, and contribute to the full restoration of elbow joint function. |
