Comparison of two fixation techniques of olecranon osteotomy after reconstruction of intra-articular distal humerus fractures

Figure 2 Peroperative photographs. Peroperative photographs showing ulnar nerve dissection, separation and securing it safely to one side with a sling. Olecranon osteotomy was retracted proximally to facilitated fracture reduction. Accurate anatomical fracture reduction with provisional Kirschner-wires fixation of fracture fragments followed by application of contoured locking plates on both columns of distal humerus. A: Ulnar nerve dissection, separation and securing it safely to one side with a sling; B: Olecranon osteotomy was retracted proximally to facilitated fracture reduction. Accurate anatomical fracture reduction was achieved with provisional Kirschner-wires fixation of fracture fragments; C: Application of definitive pre-contoured locking plates on both columns of distal humerus.
