Fourteen patients with displaced fractures of the humeral capitellum were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the capitellar fragments with Herbert screws. As per Bryan and Morrey classification, there were seven type I fractures, one type II fracture, three type III fractures, and three non-unions. Patient outcomes were evaluated using the Mayo elbow performance score. The follow-up period ranged from three to seven years (mean 4.8 years). All patients had a stable, pain-free elbow with good range of motion at follow-up. There was no evidence of avascular necrosis or degenerative change.

to study the fatigue behavior of short fiber composites and validate the concept of the Master SN curve (MSNC) approach. The MSNC approach is compared with two prevalent approaches -strength based scaling and test based interpolation. The MSNC approach was found to be in a good agreement with the experimental results and was confirmed to be more accurate than the prevalent methods.
