Abstract

Displaced comminuted of the distal humerus in adults are among the most complex fractures to be managed effectively. The ulnar nerve is at high risk of impingement secondary to injury, operation, and postoperative rehabilitation in these fractures. In this study we focus on the incidence, management, and prognosis of early ulnar nerve dysfunction in the course of treating type C fractures of distal humerus.
