description Objective: The aim of this study is to define the ideal surgical treatment option for distal humerus fractures by comparing different surgical techniques. Material and methods: Seventy-one patients with distal humerus diaphysis fractures who were treated between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively investigated,. The patients were operated on with the posterior approach of open reduction and plate-screw osteosynthesis (Group A), plated with the minimal invasive technique (Group B), operated on using the lateral approach (Group C) and treated with an external fixator (Group D). Age, gender, mechanism of fracture, fracture type and AO class, applied surgical method, additional injuries, duration of operation, amount of bleeding, amount of fluoroscopy used, length of hospital stay, radiological angular values, union time, complications, and clinical examination findings of the patients were examined retrospectively and the differences between the mentioned surgical methods were investigated. Results: Blood loss was significantly less in Groups C and D (p
